Manhattan
Some of the best wine shops in the world are in Manhattan. From cult favorites to some under-the-radar gems, here's my list!
Their French portfolio is highly curated and often rotates out with top notch seasonal picks. I love that their website even has a whole subsection simply for grower Champagne!
Flatiron Wines & Spirits -
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. You can get extremely granular (sorting not just by country and region but appellation too – listed on t...
Astor Wines & Spirits
If cult French producers make the wines you crave, you won’t be disappointed at Verve. This shop consistently sources some of the highest-quality and most sought-after French wines there are. You may not be able to find too many off-the-beaten path w...
Verve Wine NYC
I lived on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for years, and while I did, Mister Wright was my neighborhood go-to. There is an incredible diversity of wines here at every price point and it’s a great place to stop by if you’re on your way to a BYOB restaura...
Mister Wright Fine Wines & Spirits
Early on in my journey as French Wine Tutor, a follower of mine recommended I check out Chambers Street Wines for all those hard-to-find wines I wanted to feature on the page. It took me a while to get over there, but I’m so so glad I did! Chambers S...
Chambers St Wines
SoHo’s Wine Hut was one of the first wine shops I discovered when I moved to New York City. I stumbled into the shop one evening after a long day at the office and was immediately smitten. At the time, it was a tiny hole in the wall storefront next t...
The Wine Hut NYC
Since the owner of Empire State of Wine is French, it should come as no surprise this store ended up on my list. Throughout the years, Empire State of Wine has employed some of the New York City wine world’s best and brightest, and their talent, edge...
Empire State Of Wine
These guys are modernizing the wine shop and making it fun! With its bold and silly interiors, you might not take them too seriously - but don't be fooled: the people that work here are true experts!
Bottlerocket Wines & Spirits
Talk about chic!! This place is stunning and has some of the highest quality, collector-level wines in NYC.
Millesima USA Wine Store
Created by one of NYC's Michelin Starred Sommeliers, Yannick Benjamin, this is the first wine store in NYC to be fully wheelchair accessible. Curated but high level selection. Love it here!
Beaupierre Wines & Spirits
This boutique is an Upper West Side gem! Specializing exclusively in French wines only, it's a curated selection of some under-the-radar picks.
Le French Wine Shop
Brooklyn
I'm not often in Brooklyn, but when I am these two shops are my go-tos on my way to a wine night!
This place has a cult following in Brooklyn and it's easy to see why! Amazing selection with great staff.
Leon & Son Wine and Spirits
This trendy little spot probably has some producers you've never heard of - and their staff is helpful and passionate about them.
Dandelion Wine
Jersey City
My hometown of Jersey City is no stranger to great wine. Here are a couple of spots I love stopping by!
While not officially in Manhattan (just across the river with outposts in Downtown Jersey City, Hoboken, and beyond), CoolVines is now my go-to wine shop when I’m looking to support a small business closer to home. As their name might suggest, the se...
CoolVines Powerhouse
My favorite spot in my neighborhood! An adorable store with not just French wine but snacks and other beverages too!
Madame Claude Wine
