Our Story

A corner of Manhattan that has always had something special to pour.

When Roman opened his doors on East 103rd Street in 1987, the goal was simple: bring a wine shop that treated every customer like a guest into a neighborhood that deserved it. No pretension. No towering shelves of the same labels you'd find anywhere. Just carefully chosen bottles and honest advice.

Today, that ethos remains unchanged. Every bottle on our shelves is something we'd serve at our own table — a Burgundy from a small producer, a Japanese whisky worth the wait, a natural wine that surprised us on a trip to the Loire. We know our regulars by name, remember their preferences, and aren't shy about telling you when something isn't quite right for the occasion.

Curated selections rotated seasonally
Personalized recommendations, no pressure
Locally owned since 1987

What We Offer

A collection worth coming back for.

From everyday pourings to celebration bottles, our shelves are stocked with intention.

The Roman's Difference

We don't just sell wine. We help you find the right one.

Walk in with a budget and a vague idea of what you're looking for, and leave with three suggestions you'll actually remember. That's the service we've built our reputation on. Whether you're stocking a dinner party for six or selecting a gift for a client who has everything, we'll point you toward something that lands.

  • Curated by taste, not margin
  • Special orders for hard-to-find bottles
  • Event and catering consultation
  • Gift wrapping and same-day delivery nearby
