I'm a longtime customer of Chambers Street Wines, which is truly one of the gems of NYC. The staff here are not only warm and helpful, but impressively knowledgeable -- you can tell immediately that everyone who works here genuinely loves wine. What makes this shop stand out is its dedication to naturally made wines from small, artisanal producers. You won't find big-name brands lining the shelves; instead, every bottle is carefully chosen for its sense of place, the artistry of the winemaker, and the character of the vintage. Their strengths are especially strong in the Loire Valley, Burgundy, the Rhône, Piedmont, Austria, and Germany, but they're always evolving their selection. It's rare to find a shop so committed to quality and discovery. Now in their third location at 79 Chambers Street, they continue to deliver some of the best wines in the world -- and you can feel their excitement for the next 23 years. If you love wine, this place is absolutely worth a visit. read more

This was my second time visiting Chambers Street Wines. I tracked down two wines that I was looking for by using Wine-Searcher.com. The wines in question were 2013 Gianni Brunelli Brunello, and 2015 Altesino Brunello. Both were on the shelf, and both were fairly priced. I was in and out within three minutes. The store is accessible by the A/C/E trains or the 2/3 line. I'll be back! read more

Chambers Street Wines - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

See all

A real wine store run by true wine lovers. They invest just as much care and thought into selling $15 bottles of wine as they do very expensive, rare ones. I've bought so much wine here over the years and have really learned to trust their recommendations. They import many great producers themselves and spend time visiting these winemakers in France and Italy every years. One star off for disorganization (various confusions over incomplete deliveries, etc. over the years). Also, the new space is somehow even smaller and cramped with less visible inventory than the old location. Better to shop on the website and pick up, as they have a lot more selection online than in store on the shelves. read more

One of my neighborhood go-tos for grabbing a bottle of wine or other alcohol. They have a great rotating selection of wines and the prices are reasonable. Everyone who works there is really nice and friendly with the exception of one man that I really don't like. read more

They had a nice beaujolais nouveau for me, so I was v happy. They also have crus de beaujolais so I will go back there soon.

This wine store is THE BEST! During the pandemic they are doing delivery and pickup only, but that doesn't diminish how helpful and knowledgeable these guys are. I stopped by on a Friday night enroute to a friend's place, hoping to pick up some bottles for the group. A kind gentleman met me outside and asked what I was looking for so I gave him some varietals / tasting notes and price range. He came back with 4 bottles he would recommend, letting us take a look at the bottle and scan it on Vivino. We left with 2 bottles and both were OUTSTANDING yet super affordable. These guys truly know their stuff, especially among smaller wine producers, and listen when you talk about your wine tastes. Swing by and talk to these amicable personified wine encyclopedias and discover your next fave bottle you otherwise would never have. read more

5000 miles away from my boyfriend and wanted to buy him a nice red for his birthday, delivered to work. Ran a quick search through Yelp and decided to call this shop. I don't drink alcohol on the regular so I knew absolutely nothing about wine, but the person I spoke with over the phone, Andrew, was so helpful and nice! I wanted an older red, not too dry, something unique to the shop, and in my price point. Andrew quickly offered 2 options, a 1985 Livingston Moffett Cabernet Sauvignon or a 1986 Fontanafredda Barolo. So obviously, knowing what I know about wine, I went with the Barolo because it was a little pricier! Ha! He took the time to explain the qualities of the Barolo...and what tannic meant. Superb service! Chambers can gift wrap the bottles with silver paper and ribbon, and deliver free of charge within NYC. Must still tip the deliverer. Andrew was kind enough to add a personalized note that I dictated for him. It was a painless process! Very pleased. read more

Chambers Street is by far one of my favorite wine stores. They have such a variety of wines here. New World, Old World, the crowd pleasers, and some unique stuff you don't really see very often. Whatever you are looking for, they will have it here. They also have a wide variety of prices so no matter your budget, you'll be able to find something that you are looking for. The best thing about Chambers Street is the older vintages. I saw plenty of old wines from the 50s-90s, all at incredibly reasonable prices for what they are. I ended up buying a 1971 Barolo and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff is very helpful and knowledgable. The people here know what they are doing and can point you in the right direction if you don't. I highly recommend going here if you need to buy a bottle of wine for any occasion. read more

Chambers Street Wine is so different from other wine stores in that the focus is on the wine and not about marketing & merchandising. If you are really passionate about the wine you drink and are always interested in learning more about wines you should try, this is the place to come to! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable- my wife and I love coming here! read more

I went to Chamber Street Wine because I knew they carried Forthave products. I was specially looking for the Two Amaro. They had one bottle sitting in plain site on the shelf. When I brought it to checkout, I was told, 'Sorry, I can't sell you this as it was already sold to an online customer.' I will seriously never step foot in that store ever again. read more

I love this place. A small, curated selection-- shopping here is like the Spotify Discover Weekly playlist of wine shops, the choices are always interesting, you might find something you didn't know you love, and, best of all, it's manageable and engaging. Staff is always friendly and helpful, the frequent tastings help too. Bonus points: their instagram is great and a helpful way of staying up on their inventory. read more

Love love love this shop. The folks who work there are so kind and patient - I am an utter idiot when it comes to wine and they've still always treated me with respect (no matter how weird my wine descriptions get). Their recommendations are great and they work within the price point you give them. We always stop by when visiting family in NYC! read more

I'm a novice when it comes to wines, but Chambers Street Wines has been a fantastic place to learn about the wide, and often times intimidating, world of wines. The store has a fairly wide selection of wines with a fair amount of focus given to nearly every well known region and sub-region (though I'm still on the hunt for an Alsatian gewurztraminer...maybe one day) and the staff are all very knowledgeable about the selection and/or the varietals/styles more generally. As others have mentioned, their Instagram is a terrific way of staying on top of what they have in stock. I typically stick to your day-to-day wines, so I can't speak to their decades old bottles as I don't have that kind of drinking money. But the recommendations made by the staff of the comparatively plebeian bottles I'm drinking, especially if you let them know and can specify the flavor profile you're looking for, have always worked well for me. I stop in almost weekly now that I've discovered Chambers Street Wines and will continue to do so! read more

This place is tight. There's ALWAYS a tasting directly in front of the fridge with the cold drinks. I stop in here rarely and it's usually packed. The price points are decent. It isn't a liquor store, per sè. I've been a few times and don't recall seeing hard liquor. Maybe my tunnel vision prohibits this. I go there for whites, reds, and a decent prosecco. They haven't failed me yet. However, if I hand you my card, put it back in my hand, this isn't the 1850's.. read more

Fantastic customer service and great selection of wines. As a small business they care about their customers and go above and beyond. I am by no means an expert when it comes to wine, but I've enjoyed all of their recommendations and products. So lucky this place is in my neighborhood! read more

Came in here hoping to make this my new convenient go-to wine store. Simply because of the customer service I received, or lack thereof, I walked out and I will not be returning. There was no greeting or acknowledgement of having a customer in their store. Keep in mind we are the ones who keep your business running, so next time please say hi and ask your customers if they need any help or if they are looking for something specific and hopefully you'll retain a regular customer. read more

Chambers Street Wines is a staple of Tribeca. They have a huge selection of wine from around the world, and a small selection of liquor. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and gives great recommendations, but it's a bit hard to find things in our own since they have such a large inventory and variety. I would recommend to anyone, but suggest immediately asking for help. read more

What's better than Spanish wine? Having oenophile hipster boys share their love of Riberas and Riojas and recommending affordable options! No matter which region of the world you have in mind, Chambers Street Wines has you covered. The Spanish wines offered here are all of tremendous quality and value. The price points vary but you can find an "everyday" bottle of wine as well as something for special occassions. Each of the employees seems to have expertise with specific varietals. I was directed to the employee who places orders for the Riojas and Riberas and he spoke with such gusto about a particular vintage he had ordered. Occassionally there are tasting events, which are a great way to become familiar with some of the new offerings in-store. As I decant a beautiful Montecastro 2005 Ribera for this evening's dinner, I am reminded that I have a lot to be thankful for, and am eternally grateful for those who have motivated me to excel. Happy Thanksgiving; I hope that you are spending it with loved ones. read more

SN-OOTY. I love me some wine, and if you dont want to give me the time of day, I can purchase my wine elsewhere. So what if I just came from the pool and smell like chlorine, no excuse. I hate place like this. So because I am under the age of 40 and in gym clothes I can't buy wine? Suck it Chambers St. Wines. I have Petit Cave right behind my apt, and the guy there is sweet as a peach. You my friends... just lost... a customer. read more

Nice Variety Everyone who has helped me here has been knowledgeable and kind. Quaint, neat, and easy to sort through the racks and racks of wines. Still wish they had more types of sake. Either way, excellent place to pick up something different. You'll surely be able to tell the people working here what you're making for dinner when you need a great wine paired. Date Rating: 2 Pick up Scale: 1 Strong Suggestion: Pick two bottles if you can't make up your mind. read more

Unreliable Delivery! "We'll deliver your wine TOMORROW"??? I ordered wine online from their website...which stated "to ensure your order is delivered tonight, please order by 7pm." I placed my order at 6:34pm, and got a confirmation email. Fast-forward to 7:15 (after my local wine store closed, thanks), and I receive another email from Chambers Street Wines, stating "Thanks for your order. Your wine will be delivered tomorrow." Are you kidding me? Don't accept orders if you can't fulfill them, people! That's no way to run a business. I'll never order from here again! read more

This wine shop is on my way home so I visited it quite often. Staffs are very knowledgable and enthusiastic. They stock a lot of different wines, even older vintages and in reasonable price. This place will give you the education you need about wines and good for experimentation. 2 stars because they sell many bad bottles. I bought about 10 bottles from them over time and about 50% of them are bad. This includes a 2009 La Stoppa Barbera della Stoppa Emilia IGT and a 2008 Il Colle Brunello di Montalcino. The wines are just oxidized and dead. They are not even that old. I suspect they don't store them properly or there is an issue with their source. On the other hand I had a very good bottle of 2009 Bernard Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche. A good shop if only the wines they sell are in good conditions. I stopped going given the poor reliability. read more

I've only come here twice - on my way back from Whole Foods after planning a nice dinner and in need of some wine. I've walked past it a thousand times, but didn't realize what lied inside until recently! This is definitely one of the best, if not the best wine shop I have visited in the city. They have a ridiculous selection of French wines ranging from $15 to $150+. Everyone there is super helpful and they have a lot of knowledge about wine regions and the types of grapes. I have two new Bourgognes to try.. very exciting! read more

Chambers Street focuses on organic, natural and biodynamic wines. I have been a long time fan and ordered from them on a fairly regular basis over the last few years. Since I was in New York, I figured it was worth a visit to their store. Chambers Street may have the largest inventory of Louis/Dressner Selections in the United States, so that alone is worth the trip. They also have some hard to find small producers -- and they obviously take a lot of care in selecting which wines they carry. The care and expertise in putting together their selection is evident -- it's an awesome collection. John spent a good 30-40 minutes with me, he was very friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable -- and I greatly appreciated the attention. Really a unique store -- full of authentic wines and genuine and sincere service. Will return. read more

Love this wine shop definitely in my top five shops in nyc . A real winenerd place. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that will navigate your palette to find the best liqurrs your wallet can afford that you won't often find in other liquor stores. They specialize in finding unique liquors in NY and I often find myself there looking for new batches of whiskey brands that other liquor stores do not carry. read more

Chambers Street Wines - Store front. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

An abundance of knowledgeable staff---you rarely have to wait or walk more than 10 steps to find a member of their team. These guys are true wine geeks but are totally accessible! Loads of small and rarely seen producers of organic and biodynamic wines. They have multiple new offerings with great descriptions on their site. The prices! Yeesh. Just so great. This is truly a grown-up candy store. I know I sound like I work here. I don't...I am just a huge fan. read more

I was sent here by a friend to buy my boyfriend a 1970s vintage wine for his birthday. The wine enthusiasts at CSW were as enthusiastic about my gift as I was. They couldn't have been more helpful, patient and knowledgeable. CSW undoubtedly had a vast selection of 1970s vintages of any wine store (in the US) or any website. Their price points started at $100 versus $400, like the others. I got a very special 1970s Barolo in my price range and couldn't have been happier with my first vintage wine purchase. If I lived in Tribeca I would be a regular at this wine shop. On my way out, I asked for a wine recommendation for the evening. They suggested a 2008 Barolo ($20) from the same winemaker so I could compare/contrast. What a fun education, it's a superb place!! read more

Very helpful (and young) staff that provides what I will give a rave recommendation. I was looking for a robust, spicy, full bodied Red to pair nicely with a new brie I picked up for the evening. OH BOY was I pointed in the right direction! Lifting up, and scanning (with my Vivino wine app) what later on proved to be an exquisite bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo; I made contact with the handsome label. No stranger to this wine (my family comes from an area close to the Abruzzo region-REPRESENT), I was skeptical to buy, because this blend has not always been so good to me. After Santa's little wine helper gave me other recommendations, I went with his first choice; as I wasn't in the mood for fruity Bordeaux (which he also so kindly recommended). He knew his stuff, was polite, helpful and attentive. Although I did spot some expensive ($400) bottles of wine on display, there were also very affordable and high quality selections available as well. I encountered some labels that I was having trouble finding in my usual liquor store, in addition to the brand new and attractive Italian Reds that I had never seen before. Will absolutely be back soon! read more

So far, this shop suits my needs better than any of the local competition. It is almost always in my path so, it will be difficult for the other to crack the code and capture my wallet share. They have informal tastings. They offer advice on wine and spirits. The inventory is extensive. In the spirit section, they have some unique and high quality products. They are friendly and/or informative. Ironically, I write a shorter review of the ones I like best. read more

Chambers Street Wines is one of my favorite wine stores. The staff is highly knowledgable and helpful. I was searching for a high quality Pet-Nat & couldn't locate any good ones anywhere else except at Chambers Street Wines. They recommended two excellent ones, I brought one to a party & it was very popular, unlike me.... When in doubt, bring a great wine to a party! The best part? Both wines were priced around $20 but you'd never guess. The Pet-Nat wine I purchased was also sulfite free (I'm allergic to sulfites). Outstanding wine store experience. Thank you! read more

I could gush and gush and gush about this place, but I will try to keep it brief. CSW is my favorite wine shop, and is about as good as one could hope for. For what it's worth, I am a fan of artisanal, old-world style wines, with some age on them, and CSW is a great source for that. I have never encountered a retail shop with such an abundance of great products, such a diverse selection, an inventory with provenance so outstanding, and a staff that is not only incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but friendly and approachable. From France, Italy and Spain, to Austria and Germany, to South Africa, Australia and back to the US, CSW has wines from all corners of the globe, with a focus on independent and boutique producers who are employing natural (biodynamic, organic, etc) processes in their winemaking. At the end of the day, you can rest assured that they have done their diligence and will stand behind the products they are selling, which is not always the case with some retailers. If you are looking for old, rare, hard-to-find or just an every day quaffer, you will undoubtedly love CSW. These guys are a rare breed and others would do well to take a few pages from their play book. I do my best to support them and if you give them a try, I'm willing to bet that you won't want to shop anywhere else. Cheers! read more

Wonderful wine shop that specializes in the smaller wine regions of France and its' superlative naturally-produced wines. The selection is not limited to France, however; small-production wines from every great wine-producing country, including Italy, the US, Australia, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand are represented, and there is even a small, well-edited selection of sake and champagne. Spirits are stocked by the cash register. The shop is small and surprising: there are weekend wine tastings of bottles you would never see opened in any other shop, sometimes from places you have never heard of, unless you are intimate with each miniature appellation in the Loire (and the like). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and will find you the perfect fit for your taste. I first discovered the amazing Louis/Dressner catalog at Chambers Street Wines, an importer who selects wines from small, wholly natural French wine producers. Louis/Dressner is like Kermit Lynch for the 2000s -- an importer of impeccable taste whose selections are both reasonable and extraordinary. If you are anywhere near downtown, consider going out of your way for Chambers Street Wines. You will be very pleased that you did. read more

This place has become my go to for anything from the south of France at a really reasonable price. Chambers Street specializes in organic and biodynamic selections and they've got a great selection. Saturday afternoon tastings are my favorite after a day of paper work. I always walk out with another bottle. Went in once for a birthday present for a friend and asked the fellow helping me what he would like to receive for a special birthday and I set a price. He came up with three choices and didn't oversell any of them just let me pick one. And if you don't live or work in the neighborhood the IRT 2 and 3 is just steps from the door of the shop! read more

This wine shop concentrates on organic and biodynamic wines. You can easily find a tasty sustainable, quality wines at affordable prices. It has a great selection of wines under $20 and also high-end bottles if you feel like splurging. It carries many unknown name brands and hard to find wines as well. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about their products that they carry. I've been to one of their tastings with an importer and they served some delicious cheeses with the featured wines as well. read more

Nice Peter Liem champagne tasting event. Met the champagne buyer as well as one of the champagne reps who were both informative.

I've been shopping here for over fifteen years but unfortunately can usually only get to New York once or twice a year at the most. So I'm not here often, but I know the place well. It is one of my favorite wine stores, and that includes competition from several fine places in my home state of California. I've always enjoyed the friendliness and wine expertise of the folks here. They are knowledgeable but not snobbish, work with your price range rather than sell you up, and really know their stock. It's always a real pleasure to drop in and buy wine - this is a place where you can trust the staff's choices or explore on your own, and be very happy with the shopping experience and the result. read more

Wonderful customer service! Finally found a riesling that I have been looking for for months. Ordered a case and they were able to accommodate delivery needs as well as gift bags, ties, and cardboard carrier for easy transportation! Plus, 10% of 12 bottles and free delivery in NYC. Found my new favorite wine shop. Will definitely order again. read more
