I lived on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for years, and while I did, Mister Wright was my neighborhood go-to. Verve also has a fantastically talented editorial staff and online magazine – and I always look forward to their weekly newsletter! Mister Wright You may not be able to find too many off-the-beaten path wines here, but the ones you will find – from the best in grand cru Alsace to some of the biggest names in the Loire Valley – will not disappoint. This shop consistently sources some of the highest-quality and most sought-after French wines there are. If cult French producers make the wines you crave, you won’t be disappointed at Verve.
Astor is the first place I go to look for a new wine! Verve Wine I appreciate that Astor also writes detailed notes for all of their wines and stars a wine when someone on staff really loves it so you know you’re getting an expert recommendation. You can get extremely granular (sorting not just by country and region but appellation too – listed on the search as “sub-region”) – and let’s face it, we wine snobs love that. Even if I can’t go in to visit Astor in person, their website is by far the best search engine on this list, making wine shopping a total breeze. They made ripples in the wine world in 2022 when they announced that they would be shifting to a 100% employee-owned company, which I love to see, especially in the hospitality space. They’re located a short walk from my office which means I’m always stopping by after work – another perk! Astor WinesĪ true New York City staple since 1946, Astor Wines carries some of my favorite French bottles. I’ve ordered pick up on a few separate occasions and any time there is an issue with the order (like a missing vintage, bottle condition not great, etc.) they are always willing and able to assist with a smile. I love that their website even has a whole subsection simply for grower Champagne! Yet, the best part about this store is how accommodating, kind, and helpful their staff is. Their French portfolio is highly curated and often rotates out with top notch seasonal picks. Flatiron Wine & Spiritsįlatiron has one of my all time favorite wine selections in NYC.
Having lived in the New York City metro area for over five years now, there are a handful of wine shops that really stand out. And while I do get quite a few bottles this way, I’ve painstakingly purchased and built the rest of my collection myself.
