P: 212.473.2323
A wine merchant dedicated to selling and encouraging the drinking of Italian wines.
What's great:
A deep and wide selection, knowledgeable staff, and enthusiasm for their mission.
What to know:
This is not a shop of bargains but browsing and shopping on a regular basis at a specialty wine store like this can help you develop knowledge and a palate. If you're an Italian wine beginner, the store can put cases together -- at all price points -- with a selection to get you started.
The store is closed on Sunday.
