You are spoiled for options in New York. If you are hunting for a specific wine, use wine searcher. Otherwise, find a shop you like and get to know the people there, they have no reason to steer you wrong.

Tribeca wine merchants
Union Square wines
Astor place wines
Garnet wine and liquor
Chambers Street wines
NY wine warehouse
Sherry Lehman
The list goes on

Empire State of Wine is a great place. Have sourced a good amount of different champagnes from them — great service.

It’s an independent shop that also does their own direct import. Owner is super knowledgeable and super French. His brother has a great restaurant in Boston also.

Great prices for French wine overall

The honest answer would be an internet source from whichever one has the best overall pricing. If you need to go local I like Acker Wines.

That’s just misplaced fear. I’ve gotten bad wine more in store (ie: Union Square Wines, TriBeCa Wine Merchants, etc) than on the internet and have bought everything from $20 house wines to bottles of Domaine Conti, Petrus, Screaming Eagle, etc from online sources. Obviously, you do your due diligence on the shop but a lot of times I’ve found I’m looking for specific bottle and vintages that many store in NYC don’t carry and if they do it’s more expensive. Besides if the shop doesn’t cover me issues, Amex generally makes things right.

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.
