I stumbled upon September Wines while on business in the lower east side. The proprietor listened to my likes and dislikes and made some stunning recommendations, most notably a 2005 Chablis at what I considered a bargain price. After drinking it, I bought all remaining stock. September Wines is not my closest wine shop by a long stretch. However, it is worth travelling the distance for the thoughtful advice and friendly service.
Pros: knowledgable advice, unpretentious service, edgy atmosphere
