The best places to buy wine in Manhattan

As founding members of a wine tasting club that’s morphed into a specialty study group (think: in-depth PowerPoint presentations at our monthly meetings!), Amanda and I love to not only drink, but also buy, wine. Here are 4 of our favorite spots to shop for wine in Manhattan!

Astor Wines & Spirits


399 Lafayette St.

Yes, it’s everyone’s go-to, but for good reason. And their staff picks have never steered us wrong!

Chambers Street Wines


148 Chambers St.

A pioneer in carrying low-intervention wines in NYC, and their mixed cases are ultra-popular.

Gramercy Wine
104 E. 23rd St.

A neighborhood gem, with a beautifully-curated natural wine section (and wonderful conventional wines too), a huge selection of Amanda’s beloved Hungarian wines, and some very knowledgeable staff members.

Wine Therapy

171 Elizabeth St.

Has my favorite wine descriptions in all of NYC!
