This single location, which was previously the Union Square wine shop, is now closed. 


Ah, I knew about the one store liquor or wine license rule and that TJ's had one wine shop in NY but didn’t realize it had closed. 
Luckily, you have many superior options close by!

Not only that, the shop I mostly order from delivers for free!

 

My much more local shop (i.e. the one in our commercial strip) has some nice wines as well...https://www.vinvero.com/

Sweet spot, at just around $15 a bottle.  Rosé of cabernet franc.  

 

Domaine Stéphane Guion.  The Borgueils he bottles are also a favorite here.

The 2022 Guion Rosé has opened up nicely, a bit more aromatic and slightly softer on the vibrant, dry palate - really drinking beautifully and will be perfect this summer! 50 years of organic farming and great traditional winemaking give this refreshing wine its perfect balance at 12% alcohol, with beautiful fruit and great earthy expression of the gravel and limestone/clay terroir. The wine shows subtle strawberry/raspberry aromas with citrus, rose, white pepper and earth. Raspberry, blood orange, melon and earthy flavors on the ripe but dry palate which is framed in firm acidity and saline minerals. This is a real rosé of terroir which will benefit from a long decant or a year or two in the cellar. Just a superb wine that will drink beautifully through 2026. Serve with just about anything from salads to burgers, roast chicken, grilled pork and charcuterie. Bravo to Stephane Guion!
