Sherry-Lehmann Wine & Spirits

This Upper East Side bedrock has been enabling thirsty New Yorkers’ habits since 1934. Today, the vinous oasis houses more than 3,000 bottles and boasts some of the finest customer service in the borough. But if you can’t find that limited edition Slovenian Pinot, let the clerk know—the shop offers a thrice-daily shuttle between its Park Avenue storefront and its Brooklyn warehouse, which shelters nearly 7,000 labels. Free in-store tastings are held Monday through Friday from 3-5pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 2-4pm.
