About
This is a laid-back, knowledgeable spot where locals and staff alike are passionate about wine. Cabrini Wines Inc. has been a Washington Heights fixture since 1975, moving around the corner in 2016 to its current spot on Pinehurst Ave. It's a mixed-gay-straight crowd, and the vibe is friendly and unpretentious. The focus is on small-production, organically farmed wines, plus funky cocktail accessories and a solid spirits collection. You'll find daily tastings and specials, making it easy to discover something new.
"Up front, there's usually a great six-pack of wines; I recently got the Spanish wine pack and was amazed by how good the wines were."
The staff here really know their stuff. One regular praised their recommendations and highlighted the rotating six-pack of wines near the front as a great deal. Prices are moderate, so you can grab a good bottle without breaking the bank. It's open until 10pm most nights, a bit later on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether you're stocking up for a party or just want a nice bottle for dinner, this place delivers.
Located in Washington Heights, near 180th and 181st Streets, this shop has been a neighborhood staple for decades.

“Best wine shop in Manhattan”
The selection here is incredible. The staff is very knowledgeable and consistently offers excellent suggestions. Up front, there's usually a great six-pack of wines; I recently got the Spanish wine pack and was amazed by how good the wines were. It's a fantastic deal and a nice way to discover new bottles.
