Welcome to The Winey Neighbor

The Winey Neighbor is owned and carefully curated by Sal and Paul: two industry veterans who met and became friends while working at a wine shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Their shared interest in wine, spirits, and sake led them to start their own wine retail journey in 2017. Sal and Paul have put their passion and knowledge to work by operating a shop focused on small batch producers and unique varieties that bring joy into our dedicated customers' lives.

The shop sits in a former mechanic's garage — all exposed brick and industrial lamps— and it naturally evokes a sense of architectural refurbishment and reuse that is common to New York City's artisan small business culture; it is texturally on par with wine nomenclature.

We enjoy providing expert knowledge of each product and carefully listening to and distilling customer preferences. Our process is not about ego or presuming to know what all customers should aspire to drink. We simply want to share our passion for wines and spirits from intrepid producers–whether well known or under-the-radar–by also socializing our knowledge in an approachable manner. We hope that by shopping with us, you'll have an enhanced experience!
