This has become our go-to wine spot after Citarella in Hudson Yards closed. They don't have the biggest selection, but it is well curated, and the staff are unfailingly friendly and knowledgeable. Good wine in a range of price points, too, which I always appreciate.

Everyone who works at this place has been friendly and more than helpful every time I walk in there. I enjoy wine, but do not consider myself an expert, however when I come in needing guidance, someone is always very patient, knowledgable, and has a great demeanor. Even my online orders have always been trouble-free, delivered promptly, and packaged well. Thanks for the great wine and service!

Great hidden(?) gem in Chelsea. Nice hand picked selection of European wines (not much US wines though) and knowledgeable employees. Used to try weekly tasting events now ordering wines online given the CV-19 situation. Delivery is fast and careful with follow up email.
