Tribeca Wine Merchants

Fantastic highly knowledgeable staff, superb wine

I had purchased a bottle of wine for Valentine's Day for my girlfriend and did not find out until it was too late to get something else that their distributor did not have the bottle in stock. I expressed my frustration to the company through email and left a poor review. Today I received a hand written note and the bottle which has since been re-stocked, free of charge, as a "gesture of appreciation and an apology" for not being able to serve me in time. Awesome to see them not only right the wrong but do it with a personal touch. It is very much appreciated and I will shop their online store again in the future.

Hit or miss. Can be very unfriendly or very sweet depending on who's working or who they've had to deal with that day. Not a lot to choose from, but good for the quick purchase if you're in the area.

Always helpful everything is always available. Best prices in town! Especially considering it's Manhattan. Lol.

The cashier (owner?) is knowledgeable and picked the right white wine for my cooking purposes.

Extremely unfriendly and judgmental based on how we were dressed. Didn’t look like we had a house in the Hampton so didn’t bother serving us.

Great, friendly service. Purchased a couple bottles of Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Christmas 2017.

Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, fast delivery and on time. A neighborhood gem.

I stopped into Tribeca Wine Merchants because they had two hard to find bottles of Brunello di Montalcino. The wines in question were a 2019 Val di Suga, and a 2019 Gaja Pieve. The store associates found the bottles right away, and I was in and out within two minutes. I thought that their prices were a bit high, but hard to find wines are never cheap. I'll be back!

Came in for a bubbly tasting bf NYEve. A small store but packed with high quality stuff. They had 4 wines for tasting that nite. Staff were friendly and not pushy. Knowledgeable w/o being pretentious. Very comfortable experience. Definitely a local vibe with folks coming in and out on first name basis but strangers and new faces were still very much welcomed. Took home a bottle of the Billecart Salmon brut that was on sale that nite. Checked out the store and they definitely have many not run of the mill wines. Appreciated the fact they had a website that listed current prices unlike many other NYC stores that don't even have a website. Feels like a nice place to cater to especially when they have tastings.

This place is great! Awesome selection, free delivery and the guys that work here are so nice. We have ordered Prosecco & Rose before and they always make recommendations. Definitely will continue to use them! I am a huge fan.

Thank god we found this place ...btw we went into the place searching for a restroom for my son to use .......It was the closest store open with a sign out in this little area of town! ... I love wine specifically New Zealand wines ...so I saw wine and knew we could buy something if needed ... ( but the gentleman told me not to feel pressure to buy as tasting was free!!!! ) That's correct tasting is FREE!!! Long story short the tall gentleman who greeted us was very kind and said sure my son can use it as we were in the area waiting for Ninja restaurant to open and had about 20 mins to kill and not enough time to walk 2-3 blocks to the nearest Starbucks ( which btw not all Starbucks in NYC have a restroom???!!!!) anyways back to the nice gentleman who let my son use the restroom as he was gone for a few mins we walked the shop and he took his time explaining the wines and where they were from to me ... The selection of wines is amazing here price points are all over ..from low to high ... But the most important part is the customer service of the one gentleman who is the taller one ( not the short one with glasses) hoping to call tomorrow and get his name because of him I am writing the review to praise his kindness and helpfulness for me with my kiddo and my wine tasting .. I did buy two wines I would have bought more but we were in town for the day with no more hands to carry the bottles around ! Even though other customers were in the store he made sure to finish his time explaining to me about my questions ..and this was so refreshing as many times sales persons try to juggle a few customers at once and it does not work well usually... The reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because what happened at the very end while I was checking out the shorter gentleman with glasses came up to me and whispered in my ears so my kiddo could not hear that the restroom was not to be used by "public " --- ok well moms and dads now you know who to ask for in the store ! Tall dark hard gentleman vs shorty who didn't give a shit about my kid having to relive himself - What a world! Good thing we have a balance of positive and negative people living here!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Helpful, straightforward staff. I came in looking for a Burgundy to use in an oxtail soup and specified I didn't want to spend much, but still wanted my meal to be top notch. I also don't know the first thing about wine, but the man who was helping me did not make me feel uneducated at all. I found something very affordable (under $15) and it was just what I needed, I will be back!

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

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.

Such a gem of a wine store... I found this store with the help of you yelpers, 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.

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.

The store specializes in small wine producers from California, Oregon, and Burgundy. The decor 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.

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!

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!

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!

Good selection (found a wine that I thought was only stocked at Bottlerocket) but staff seemed more interested in greeting their friends than helping their customers. Sad because I was looking for a good neighborhood shop since Frankly Wines had changed hands.

This is the best wine shop in the city. It's got killer tastings, intelligent staff, and wines I usually only dream about, not too mention really great bottles in my every-day range too. I hope my wife stops by! HINT HINT!
