Editorial Review for Sherry-Lehmann – by John Baez
The Scene
A good bottle of wine is an easy thing to find--a great bottle is another story. Luckily, since 1934, New Yorkers have been able to turn to Sherry-Lehman and its mind-boggling selection for help. The compact, lived-in space crams gorgeous, antique gothic glass display cabinets with some of the greatest wines and spirits around.
The Goods
Though the variety may seem daunting, the prices are shockingly reasonable, and there is always a great promotion going on. The German, Argentine and Alsace wines are a nice addition to the more typical selections from popular regions. Whether you're looking for a bottle of George Deboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau under $10 or a double magnum of Lafite Rothschild for over $2,000, you'll find the staff more than willing to help you leave with the perfect choice.

Sorry, but when I'm shelling out $500 for a bottle of wine, I'm not expecting to be treated like royalty but I DO expect at least an adequate level of customer service. The wait time between selecting the bottle I wished to purchase and someone actually finding it in the basement was completely absurd. You'd think that a store that purportedly deals with a large volume of high end wines and high paying customers would be a little more used to doing things like GETTING THE ACTUAL BOTTLES. Apparently not. And you know what? The prices aren't so great either. Way to go guys, I'll be shlepping it down to Astor from now on.

For a reputable wine store, Sherry Lehmann has one of the worst delivery services on earth. It's undependable and not worth the bother!
Pros: Good wines
Cons: Poor service, Rude customer serv.
