We were saddened to learn, rather late in the day that Vintage New York have closed their establishment in Amsterdam Avenue as well as the one in Soho. As we described it, this was a place where you could sample a large variety of wines from New York State and then have the modest cost of the sampling deducted from any purchase. Where to get new York wines was not a problem with such an establishment at easy reach.
New York wines are rarely found on restaurant winelists and in wine stores. Even our favourite Astor Wines of New York have only a modest and sadly diminishing selection. No wonder New York Wines wine won the Slotovino prize for 'best kept secret' in our 2008/9 awards.
In the absence of a Consortium Outlet similar to Vintage New York, here is a short list of merchants with a respectable choice of New York state wines. Any additions would be welcome.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your attention to New York products. We also miss Rob and Susan's Vintage New York stores. We're a bit far away from your city, but devote 40% of our store to New York wines. Seven of our top ten selling wines are grown in New York.
Best regards,
Rich & Margot Cirino
