What an incredible store. It is really one of a kind and Elie was helpful in recommendations for both table wine and grander selections. I’m visiting my parents in town from NYC, and was able to pick up some fantastic wine. If this store was near me I would visit every week!

I doubt Elie cares about these reviews but I’ve always enjoyed my visits to his shop. His knowledge is amazing and contrary to some reviews I’ve never felt looked down on when asking for less expensive wines.
