Editorial Review for Vintage New York - Soho – by Mina Hochberg
The Scene
Always thought wines from the Empire State were inferior to others? This Soho merchant begs to differ. All 200 of the labels here come from one of New York's numerous wine regions--eastern Long Island, the Finger Lakes, the Hudson Valley. Enhancing the wine-browsing experience, the store's high ceiling gives the impression of spaciousness, while the mezzanine level and cellar provide space to accommodate the largest of holiday crowds.
The Goods
A favorite shop feature is the tasting bar, where you can sample any of the wines you see on the floor. In addition to the exquisite reds, whites and sparkling wines, unusual ports and ice wines are worth a try. Another bonus: The shop is open seven days a week.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasIf you're on the Upper West Side, head to its sister location on Broadway.
Save MoneyTrying five wines for $10 at the tasting bar in back makes for a fun weekend activity. You can deduct the price of the tasting from a $50 purchase.
Know Before You GoThe shop's unique status as a New York State winery outpost allows it to sell edibles (cheeses and other treats from NYS farms) and prepare gift baskets of food and wine together.
DeliveryThere's no minimum purchase for delivery of wine and liquor, but there is a $15 charge, unless you purchase an entire case of wine.
User Reviews for Vintage New York - Soho

We have attended two classes at Vintage, one on Champagnes and one on Rieslings. The professionals were very interesting and informative. A variety of wines were served in each category to represent the range. The other attendees were serious wine lovers whose questions and comments added to the experience. As a bonus, we were served delicious "bites" from the restaurant upstairs. At the end of the class, I felt like buying more wine than I could carry, visiting the vineyards mentioned, and making a trip to the restaurant.
Pros: Knowledgable staff, easy access, attractive decor, excellent wine

As a wine professional in the service industry who's lived in NYC for 16 years, I'm appalled by the unprofessional behavior of the Vintage store manager. Any small praise I would have given to the store's selection of NY State wines is overshadowed by this employee. During a wine tasting at the store, he was rude, impatient, and arrogant, cutting me off as I tried to describe what wines I wanted to taste, barking at his staff in front of me, complaining about the dirty wine glasses leftover from the previous shift, making my overall wine tasting experience incredibly uncomfortable. I'm a believer in second chances and I'd have chalked it up to him having a bad day, if it were not for a second run-in with the manager over the phone, where I was met with the same tone and decibel while finalizing a wine event order. There are far too many wonderful wine shops where quality and service are unmatched. While they may not have the extensive selection of wines from NY State, Astor Wines, Pour, Frankly Wines, Chamber Street Wines all have a limited but very good selection from Hudson, Long Island, and The Finger Lakes. NY State wines can also be purchased online. Bottom line: Don't waste your time at Vintage.
Pros: NY State only wines
Cons: service, ambience, prices
