Simply Wine and Liquor

One basic concept behind the store and its rotating selection of wines and sakes is to make these pleasures accessible to novices and experienced collectors alike. Striving to provide a range of prices for the major and obscure varietals and across the world. As a fixture in the neighborhood for over eight years, the staff has been fortunate to become intimate with customers' tastes; such familiarity allows for unique suggestions for complex questions of food/wine pairings or simple ones like what to drink on a rainy Wednesday.

"While selections from California take center stage, truthfully a 'world of wine' awaits 'lucky' Upper West Side shoppers at this 'busy', 'unpretentious' 'hodgepodge of a store' known for some of the 'best prices around'." -- ZAGAT SURVEY 2004 (NYC Marketplace)

With wine’s growing popularity there are numerous shopping options for the consumer: stores on every other street corner, the internet, as well as the suburban wine and liquor emporia. SIP is a more personalized experience. No wine is selected because it’s inexpensive, famous, or given a high score. As a result, much of the selection is comprised of small family producers, many of whom use minimal impact farming techniques such as organic, sustainable & biodynamic agriculture.

Tucked into Manhattan's Upper West Side, this wine destination has been curating exceptional bottles and spirits since the early 90s. Step inside during winter and you'll find a warm refuge lined with over 5,000 selections spanning every corner of the wine world—the kind of place regulars return to again and again, even when the streets outside are icy and quiet. The team here genuinely enjoys talking through what you're after, whether you're a seasoned collector or hunting for something special for a dinner party. They ship nationwide with some regional exceptions: Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, New Jersey, and Texas fall outside their delivery area. Anyone looking to order online can browse beaconwine.com. A quick note: they card everyone purchasing alcohol, keeping that policy firm across the board.

"Whiskey Ed" Houdek first opened the doors to Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe in 1965. Back then he'd deliver mail for the Bayport Post Office during the day and at night he'd work selling fine liquors and wine. In 1972 Ed doubled the size of the store making it so long and narrow that you could fit four lanes of bowling within the store's walls. But instead of balls and pins, we have the area's largest selection of fine wines and liquors.

In almost every other part of the world where wine is produced people drink almost exclusively the local stuff. But not in New York. Also, New York wines are rarely as cheap as the local plonk the locals everywhere else drink on a daily basis. But the wines have gotten a little less expensive and they continue to improve, so Uva Wines has recently expanded the selection of New York wines.

"Wine has enchanted poets for centuries, and for good reason: like poetry, good wine can be an emotional experience, lifting the spirit and delighting the senses as it satisfies the soul. <br> At Pindar Vineyards, our award-winning wines are quite literally dreams come true. It was the dream of our founder, Dr. Herodotus “Dan” Damianos, that helped create the winemaking industry on Long Island in the early 1980’s. And that dream has, over nearly 30 years, turned Pindar Vineyards into Long Island’s best-known wine producer. <br> Today Pindar Vineyards encompasses more than 500 scenic acres. We grow 17 varieties of grapes, crafting them into some 23 varietals and proprietary blends. We produce 70,000 cases of wine a year, making us the largest vineyard on Long Island. But at heart we are still a family with a personal touch in every aspect of our business.

The original address of the Park Avenue Liquor Shop was 97 Park Avenue. As the landscape of the city began to change, the original home of our shop was marked to come down. But our love for the city was strong and we decided to make a move just around the corner to 23 East 40th Street. Then in 1975, we moved once more to our current location, 292 Madison Avenue.

Some of them will age gracefully in your cellar for decades to come and some are meant to be enjoyed in the freshness of their youth. Some are full bodied, sun kissed and weighty, others light, fruity and thirst quenching. Some wear their austerity and mineral flavors on their sleeve but then others, if you were to close your eyes, will transport you to a fruit orchard.
