Prices are decent but not particularly discounted. Selections skewed somewhat toward leaner, higher-acid wines, across regions. Not a huge inventory, but very well chosen, particularly in Italy and Germany and Austria, and the staff are super knowledgeable. Note: Some of their inventory is in their warehouse so wines aren’t always available the same day.Ĭrush: Very good at smaller producers, offbeat wines and older vintages (which are in a cool room). That said, occasionally, they had something interesting that wasn’t easily found elsewhere.
Worst thing I’d say: I used to work a block from there and walked by it every night on my way home and I rarely went in. Great service, but this isn’t the place you go to find passionate sales people. Generally high prices, as this aims at a Midtown business and Upper East Side clientele. Nothing special for Italian or Rhone wines. Pretty comprehensive regionally, but tends to stock larger producers across all regions, not small trendy ones. Sherry Lehman: Once upon a time, S-L was the place to go for Bordeaux, old and new.
If you are focused on Burgundy, I’d suggest Chambers St., Crush, Morrell, Flatiron, Astor and Burgundy Wine Co.
But let’s say you wanted to work with someone to assemble a few cases of 2014-16 Burgundy… would you have a “go to” retailer in that scenario? Names I see tossed around anecdotally are Sherry Lehman, Crush, Millesima, Chambers, Flat Iron, Astor Wine, Zachy, PJs, Italian Wine Merchants etc.
