In the big discount store category there is not a friendlier wine shop in NY than Mister Wright. It is rather refreshing compared to the places where the clerks have a know-it-all attitude, and don’t even pretend to listen to anything you have to say. So when walking around the store, do not be surprised by the number of times you are approached and asked if you need any help. Sometimes we will have a small question ready so not to disappoint the eager staff. This will also clue you in on the knowledge base of the clerk. If Jody is on the floor you will be in very good hands. She knows her wine and always has a recommendation on a good value bottle. Recently it was Argentinean Malbacs.
We use Mister Wright to buy a lot of our everyday drinking wine. They do not have a website. Nor do they mail out any promotional material. But with a big selection of labels not found in other stores this size, and a 10% case discount on still wine, you can do well here.
When the Wall Street Journal recently published a story on Spanish reds from the Ribera del Duero, we showed the piece to Jody and she quickly pointed us to two of the bottles that were reviewed. At other shops, usually you can never even find one listed in this type of article. The same thing occurred after we ate at A Voce and had a delicious Tuscan red, Le Volte, which was recommended by the sommelier. We found the 2005 was at Mister Wright for $27.99.
Mister Wright has a free case delivery policy in Manhattan. The delivery guys always in their Mister Wright orange sweatshirts have the same wanting-to-please attitude. So don’t be surprised if the case you bought beats you home.
