Later, before they became household names, La Jota, Peter Michael, Etude, and Turley, along with the exciting new wines from Oregon and Washington State were first featured at the shop.
He sold his New York City shop in the mid-1990s and opened the current shop in Bedford, NY continuing to seek out the finest wines from around the world.
His son, Scott gave up his job as a trial attorney five years ago to come into the shop full-time and has continued the traditions of seeking out those boutique Hand Crafted wines that believe in quality instead of quantity.
