"When you can't find it anywhere else", this "excellent" West Village vintner run by "charming" "top sommelier" Jean-Luc Le Dû (a Daniel alum) lovingly displays a "carefully chosen stock" of "world-class wines" highlighting "hard-to-get or obscure" vintages "from all regions", plus spirits and sake; "informative" staffers are "happy to guide" greenhorns and conduct weekly tastings, but as this...
Named after Jean-Luc Le Dû, the highly regarded and one time Head Sommelier of Daniel's Boulud's culinary empire, Le Dû Wines is indeed a formidable addition to the city's wine scene. Well thought out and designed to appeal to casual wine drinkers and collectors alike, this West Village wine shop is also visually scrumptious.
In-store seminars, special "gift-packs", a wine club and a win blog...
Editorial Review:
Jean Luc Le Du (Daniel, Bouley) focuses this effort on terroir-driven wines of unsung artisinal producers.
