Vinyl Wine
Address: 1555 Lexington Avenue (between 99th and 100th streets)
Phone: (646) 370-4100

Michael Cesari and Michael Faircloth opened Vinyl Wine, a welcome addition to the neighborhood, in June 2010. The co-owners felt the local liquor stores often sold many of the same familiar wines and wanted to represent some of the less known, smaller, family owned vineyards. 60 -70% of the wines they offer for sale are organic.

Michael F. worked in Napa and trained as a sommelier while learning how to make wine and brings his passion and experience to the shop.

Both Michael C. and Michael F. are musicians and the store combines their love of music and of wine – Michael F plays the upright bass and keyboard, while Michael C plays the guitar.

Keep your eyes posted to their website and blog for upcoming events at the store and wine tastings coming this fall. Stop by for the evening tastings and find some new favorite wines.
