Tribeca Wine Merchants Ltd

One stop shop for everyday sippers up to Major collectibles and everything in between. Very knowledgeable staff can expertly assist absolute beginners through Serious collectors (and hopefully drinkers!). Your neighborhood Bob Parker!

Huge fan. Its a beautiful store with super knowledgeable sales people, and a really friendly vibe. They have lots of very rare wines, but you can still find great bottles in the $ 10-​$ 30 range.
I’ve been to a couple of their Saturday tastings, which are really fun, and FREE, and a great way to try some new wines without having to risk a purchase. They have wines from around the world, so you can grab a Malbec or a Pinot if you want, but they definitely specialize in French wines, for which they have an especially large selection.
Another really special place you can rarely find outside of New York.
Highly recommended!

Tribeca Wine offers a wonderful variety of wines to suit even the most distinguishing of palates. I strongly recommend them. Though Tribeca Wine is not inexpensive, the owner is very knowledgeable and it is worth it. The shop has a clean, crisp style amenable to browsing the merchandise.

If I could give them no stars that would be generous!
In Aug of 2013 I paid for futures to be delivered upon release, Oct 2014 or there about.
The wine has been released and is in the the stores. When I questioned Ben, who took my order that was paid in full, all I received were lies.
Every email to Robert, who is the owner and Ben went unanswered, in addition never was a promised phone call was returned by Ben.
Aways came the excuse of email going to spam, or replies that were made up as the dialogue progressed.
Tribeca Wine Merchants held my money without regard towards fulfillment of my order.
As a last resort I contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. losing thousands of dollars given the present day value of the wine.
The actions, or lack of by Tribeca Wine Merchants is not a way to do business!
Anyone reading this who is considering buying futures, should think again.
Caveat Emptor… Let The Buyer Beware!

Not a huge wine person, went in to buy a bottle for a close wine loving friend as a birthday gift.
Not only was i shown about 20 different types of bottles based on the preferences I knew, but the person who helped me was SUPER knowledgeable and completely walked me through the process, which was extremely helpful.
Ended up picking a nice bottle and was promised my friend would like it.
Apparently, the bottle I bought was not only a winner but also a pretty rare short run from some off the rail country side in Italy.
It’s currently stashed away awaiting a very special occasion. My friend couldn’t believe I bought such a nice bottle. PS, the bottle was under $ 70 total.

A very nice wine shop and the people who work here are friendly and fun. The shop has enormous choices of wine and is an attractive environment.
They have informal tastings and are informative.
If I am looking for a particular wine I go here and one other place nearby.

Owner dude is so helpful. Great place.

Excellent establishment, very friendly and knowledgable staff that supply an international set of great products.
Ive got a moscato and a japanese plum wine with real plums in it waiting for me.
The store itself is cute, clean, and wine is dispayed nice– sectioned, organized well easy to find things and if you couldnt the staff easily helped. I found this place on a mid spring night’s stroll. If I was in the area i’d frequent it again

I’ve been going here for years. They have a good selection of wine, and the staff is very helpful. They always go out of their way to make sure that I leave happy. I prefer them to any other wine stores that I’ve been to. I’m definitely getting gift cards from them for friends & family for Holiday gifts when I pick up my favorite Champagne!

Such a gem of a wine store… I found this store with the help of you Unilocalers, thanks! I love that the selection is so different from my local stores, and every time I come in, I just ask for a recommendation and am extremely satisfied with the pick every time.
Best under $ 15 dollar wine choices I’ve found in the city. Definitely a must to check out.

The store specializes in small wine producers from California, Oregon, and Burgundy. The décor mirrors the clientele, with cherrywood shelves reflecting the wealthy financial services clientele who live in the neighborhood.
I asked about some region level Burgundy, and the salesperson was able to provide tasting notes and even detailed winemaker commentary for the three bottles within my target price range. After asking him what he thought the best value in the store under $ 30, he pointed me straight to an Evening Lands 2008 Pinot Noir ($ 24), a solid entry level Oregon Pinot for a produccer whose higher-​level wines have scored 95+ on Robert Parker’s notes. As an additional courtesy, he even offered to open it so I could taste. I was floored by the incredible generosity, but apparently this is a service customarily offered.
Most of the wines retail at $ 30+, but they do have a small selection of wines for under $ 20 if you need to pick up a wine to grab-​and-​go for dinner. Nevertheless, many of the small vineyards I have not seen in other stores, and despite the higher average prices, you are getting considerable value for wines that have low or no allocation in other wine stores around the city.

Best wine shop that I know of in NYC. This is not a liquor store, it is a wine enthusiast’s haven. If you want everything under the sun in one place you will not find it here. What you will find is a very particular selection, mostly from small vintners around the world — wine makers that are as passionate about wine as the folks at Tribeca Wine Merchants.
If you are planning a special meal this place is definitely worth the trip. They’ll help you find a bottle that will be sure to pull things together — both the food and the guests. Also, if you like wine but are afraid this shop is going to be over budget, don’t worry, they always have a few bottles of excellent wine for under $ 20.

Many a Saturday afternoons I have wandered into Tribeca Wine Merchants with no of what I want, but leave with my new favorite wine. The problem is that this happens once a week and that means I have a different favorite wine every week.
Their wine tastings are extremely educational, with handouts and everything so I can take notes on what I’m learning– really it’s just to repeat exactly what I’m hearing to sound smart and sophisticated next time I’m looking to impress (not unlike a parrot). A sommelier I am not.
The people are always ready to help and educate. If they’re out of what you’re looking for, they can easily recommend something similar. They’re super friendly and clearly enjoy their jobs– I mean, who wouldn’t?
There are a couple of great wine shops in Tribeca, but I come here when I want to be taken care of and want to leave excited about my new wines.

This is my favorite wine store in New York. Astor Wine is wonderful, Warehouse often has good prices, the newly relocated Union Square Wine looks pretty nice, Chelsea Wine Vault and Morrell are alright, Crossroads is fun, and Chambers Street Wine is a great neighborhood shop too, but for me, it’s Tribeca Wine Merchants.
The space itself fits Tribeca perfectly with its combination of neighborhood warmth and upscale sophistication without an ounce of stuffiness. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they’re as happy to introduce novices to wine as they are to discuss the details of various winemakers and vintages and all the different intricacies of wine and the winemaking process that you’d expect from the people working in any respectable wine shop.
What really sets this place apart for me is the level of quality in their wine offerings. For example, while lots of wine stores do tastings, how many of them do a tasting of two different vintages of Ornellaia? With the winemaker present. And it’s a testament to the respect that they get from the neighborhood that they celebrated their recent five year anniversary all week long with food from Nobu, Bouley, Landmarc, and the Odeon.
But it’s not just the high-​end stuff that shines. They have a well-​edited selection of wines for under $ 20 that all seem to be solid, and are perfect for grabbing when you’re running out on your way to a dinner party or you just want something to try at home that night. I don’t think I’ve ever taken home a wine from here that I didn’t enjoy.
And don’t be fooled by just what’s on display. That’s the other thing that makes Tribeca Wine Merchants different. They have access to a lot of private collections, and some of their best offerings won’t necessarily be seen on display in the shop. That doesn’t mean they’re not available to the public, though. Sign up for their email list and they will notify you of new acquisitions, whether it’s a $ 65 bottle of 2003 Paradigm from Screaming Eagle’s Heidi Barrett or a $ 7500 bottle of 1966 Henri Jayer Echezeaux. Furthermore, they seem to do a good chunk of their business outside the confines of the actual store, working as wine brokers to procure rare gems for the discerning connoisseur. Of course, that type of thing comes at a price, so your request better be worth it.
Addendum: I forget to mention that Sherry-​Lehman is great too, but what I like about TWM is that I see the same handful of people there everytime I go, and most of them seem to have been working there since day one. It just gives me a nice sense of familiarity and confidence in their knowledge of the product.
