Nestled in a historic 1800s building, Astor Wines & Spirits is a sprawling emporium showcasing an impressive selection of global wines, spirits, and sakes, making it a must-visit for enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
"For the budding sommeliers and the everyday imbiber alike, Astor Wines & Spirits is the perfect place to try new wines, or learn about them to begin with. This emporium is outfitted with a tasting bar and “cool room” to store its more rare and vintage collections, and hosts timely classes, free tastings and other events (like frequent sales) in an iconic NoHo building. And even if you're just stopping in to select a quick dinnertime accompaniment, their descriptive labels alongside every bottle will make you feel like you chose the perfect bottle for any occasion." - Carbone Smolan Agency
"If you’re someone who lets people pass you in line because “tall” and “grande” both seem like such good options, then you might have some trouble at Astor. This wine shop in Noho is massive, and it can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Fortunately, you do know, and Provence rosé is easy to find. You can also order through their website." - matt tervooren
