It is fair to say Garnet Wines & Liquors is well known in NY for their large selection of wines at discount prices. We have been receiving their monthly newsletter, The Garnet Good News, for more than fifteen years, and have done lot of our shopping from the advertised specials. We remember when we would phone in our orders before wine shop websites were ever in vogue.
While in Paris last summer, we had a conversation with Juan Sanchez, the Miami native who owns La Derniere Goutte (the last drop), (www.pattylurie.com/html/goutte.html)
a local wine store not far from our apartment in the 6th arrondissement. Juan loves visiting NY, and going around to the different wine shops. He mentioned Garnet as one that impressed him. While at others he remarked, “A lot of the clerks don’t know anything.”
One of the reasons Garnet is so good is JR. Over all the years JR has never given us a bad recommendation on French reds. All you have to do is tell him your price range and in an instant he is off through the store grabbing bottles. It is not often you find him on the floor because of other responsibilities, but go in the back and see if he is there. You will not be disappointed.
Garnet has a 10% case discount and free delivery is offered based on the price of the case and your zip code. The details are on their website. During the holiday season this is one NY store that fills up fast, so we always try and get there when they open at 9:00 a.m. or Sundays at noon.
