What a fantastic spot!! I came here for the Yelp Elite Cinco event, and to say I was excited is an understatement. While this is a wine store/bar, they also carry many other spirits including mezcal, which was the main part of this event. We got to taste many of the mezcals that Nobel Coyote had to offer which was a treat. While pricey, the mezcal was phenomenal AND you can feel good about drinking it, they are a sustainability focused and driven company.
Along with the tastings, we got to try the mezcal in cocktails, in the form of a margarita and monitor, both of which were delicious. In addition to the alcohol, we also got Dos Toros! I didn't know it, but Dos Toros is also an incredible company, very dedicated to giving back to communities and hiring formerly incarcerated persons. I was impressed by how great these companies were and also by the food. I've been in NYC for 5months now and still had never tried dos toros even though there's one 10ft from my apartment. I am a Dallas native so I have high standards, but I absolutely loved the food! Definitely had better but it's one of the best of the Mexican cuisines I've tried up here in the northeast.
I was a huge fan of the event and of Verve! They have endless options and have really curated their selection to the best of the best. The staff is extremely knowledgeable as well, which is always helpful for me!
