Retail wine shop by day, event space by night
"Dozens of different bottles from around the world line the shelves at Vernick Wine, spanning natural and organic to more conventional styles as well as a smaller selection of sherry, vermouth, and cider. The Rittenhouse Square shop also has a grocery section that sells house-made goods from the Vernick Food & Drink kitchen, other Philadelphia producers, and international purveyors. You can subscribe to a monthly wine club by emailing the shop directly."
"Located next door to Vernick Food & Drink, it supplies bottles to accompany the set dinner-for-two being sold by the restaurant." - Rachel Vigoda
"I added a new entry to Philadelphia’s boutique wine scene with Vernick Wine, Greg Vernick’s shop at 2029 Walnut Street next door to Vernick Food & Drink; it was up and running as of Wednesday, November 13 and functions as a retail shop that doubles as a private event space. We’re going for a very boutique, well-curated shop with unique bottles not available at the state stores, leaning Old World and French-heavy while not subscribing to strict rules; expect natural wines, orange wines, Old World styles, and an emphasis on small-production wineries across a list of more than 100 bottles overseen by Vernick Food & Drink wine director Ray Gazdzinski. Set in an 1840 Rittenhouse brownstone, the space has an antique look—crown molding, plaster ceilings, and chandeliers—and the team can customize menus for private dinners or cocktail parties with chef de cuisine Robert Newcomb and pastry chef Michael O’Lone, accommodating up to 32 for a seated dinner." - Rachel Vigoda
