"The shop, opened in 2001 by David Lillie and Jamie Wolff, focuses on small, artisanal producers, mainly from the Old World. It offers a unique selection of old Italian wines at fair prices." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Drink history at Chambers Street WinesIf anyone can say, “We liked it before it was cool,” it’s David Lillie and Jamie Wolff, who opened their Tribeca store in 2001 and have championed small, artisanal producers from the very beginning. Their selection leans Old World, though New World producers like Clos Saron and Matthiasson are well represented. Hone in on the Italian section for old, dusty bottles of Barolo, Barbaresco, and Chianti dating back to the 1950s at unusually fair prices. Try the 1967 Fontanafredda Barolo ($99) or the 1982 Gaja Barbaresco ($275)." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Whether you just know that you want something salmon colored, or you want to discuss a specific winemaker’s feelings about spontaneous fermentation, the staff at Chambers Street will make sure you walk out with something delicious. If you’d prefer to shop online, you’ll also find detailed descriptions of their mostly natural and small-production wines on their website." - matt tervooren
"This Tribeca wine shop is offering delivery and curbside pick-up on weekdays from 11am to 7pm, and until 5pm on Saturdays." - nikko duren
"On a good day, Chambers Street Wines has around 2,000 bottles wedged onto its many shelves and crates, and all of them are available for delivery. In a city packed with excellent wine purveyors, Chambers Street stands out for its dedication to organic, small-production wines and unusual champagnes (yes, there’s a whole world of champagne out there beyond the five or six labels we’re so accustomed to paying top dollar for). Chambers has compiled a slew of what it calls “sampler cases” of wine running the gamut: pét-nat (naturally sparkling), skin-contact (orange wine), red, white, and natural (biodynamic). You can try a case of six or twelve wines of the same type but from different regions and producers to note the variations and nuances of terroir. These cases of six start at $137.77, which is a solid bargain for the quality and attention to the provenance we associate with this excellent wine store."
