  • Chambers Street Wines
    160 Chambers Street
    Tasting hours between 1 pm and 5 pm
    Chambers Street Wines opened in June 2001, the product of David Lillie's and Jamie Wolff's idea that New York might support a shop that indulged their love for naturally made wines from artisanal small producers. There are few name brands here. They choose wines that express their origins, the talent and commitment of the growers and winemakers, and the inherent quality of the vintage. Every wine stocked is tasted, re-tasted, debated ... this is a shop where everyone who works there loves wine, drinks wine with food, and knows at least a little bit about what they're selling. Particular strengths are the Loire Valley, Burgundy and the Rhone, Piedmont, Austria and Germany.
  • Frankly Wines
    66 West Broadway
    Tasting hours between 1 pm and 6 pm
    Prior to opening this little shop (and it is tiny), Christy Frank, owner of Frankly Wines, spent about 7 years working at Moet Hennessy USA, the wine and spirits division of LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Her last three years were spent managing the US business for the company's Down Under wine portfolio (Cloudy Bay, Cape Mentelle, and Green Point), traveling across the country to visit more wine shops and restaurants than she cares to count. With two young children and a third on the way, Christy decided to succumb to the retail bug and settle into life behind the counter, opening a small shop around the corner from home specializing in wines from the Southern Hemisphere, with a well-edited assortment of wines from most other regions of the world.
  • New York Wine Co
    21 Warren Street
    Tasting hours between noon and 5 pm
    The shop was started in October 2006 by Rob Allen and Derek Mize. Both come from Italian Wine Merchants and have extensive knowledge in European wine. New York Wine Company is a boutique wine shop that has a modern sleek feel to it where they specialize in traditional and new world, small, European producers. Their public tastings are an exciting constant at New York Wine Company. Along with private, more customized events that feature wine producers, importers and guest speakers, they also have free wine tastings every Saturday.
  • Tribeca Wine Merchants
    40 Hudson Street
    Tasting hours between 11:30 am and 5 pm
    Tribeca Wine Merchants is a wine shop founded in the year 2000. The shop is dedicated to creating a very special environment for our fellow wine enthusiasts. Despite their many combined years in the wine trade, the proprietors had never found one store that provided great selection, expert advice, fair pricing, frequent wine tastings, convenient delivery and an uncompromising concern for the provenance of their selections. This is why they created Tribeca Wine Merchants, a store dedicated to those who love wine and those who want to learn about its beauties and pleasures.
  • Vestry Wines
    65 Vestry Street
    Tasting hours between 11 am and 9 pm
    Vestry Wines opened in March 2007 in the prestigious North Tribeca neighborhood of New York City as a retail wine store focusing on small producers from California, France and Italy. Their highlights include the Rising Stars of California winemaking, the hidden gems from lesser known appellations of France and the myriad of indigenous grape varieties that are making a huge impact on the quality of Italian wines. The store was started by four friends and business partners to strengthen their love of wine at wholesale prices, Vestry Wines is staffed by a laid-back team of professionals and sommeliers that enjoy drinking wines as much as talking about them.
  • VinoVino
    211 West Broadway
    Tasting hours between 1 pm - 8 pm
    The aim at VinoVino is to help de-mystify the wine buying experience. One visit to the store and you will find that they weekly tastings, knowledgeable staff, and detailed tasting notes are all meant to help ease selection by providing the right amount of insight that can be leveraged toward personal discovery. And at VinoVino, nothing is sold unless they like it themselves. They maintain over 200 labels of old world and new world wines. Although they carry a fine selection of premium labels, they pride themselves on their selection of artisanal wines, rare wines, and unexpected wine values.
