Totally Tamsen: City Winery

City Winery, Manhattan’s first private label winery right in the heart of the city has opened its doors and let our Tamsen Fadal in for a tour.

The new business venture aims to bring people together over their love of wine. With the introduction of the Barrel Share Ownership program, it now makes such enjoyment easy and affordable.

City Winery’s barrel ownership program is designed for individuals who wish to experience the pleasure of making their own barrel of wine, which ultimately yields over 250 bottles. The Barrel Share program allows up to six people or organizations to contribute equal shares to the overall costs of grapes, oak, bottling and labeling.

The program provides an opportunity to make a barrel with friends or to meet new people who share a common passion for a specific grape variety such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah or Zinfandel. By sourcing grapes from the finest vineyards in the country, City Winery currently offers a selection from California, Oregon and New York.

City Winery is located at 143 Varick Street (between Spring and Vandam) in Manhattan’s West SoHo neighborhood. For more information, visit www.citywinery.com or call 212-608-0555.
