Just blocks from Citarella and Fairway, Nancy’s Wines for Food naturally caters to local gourmands. In business since 1992, Nancy Maniscalco’s cozy two-room shop carries around 700 bottles—whites in front, reds in back—with a clear focus on small producers, especially those from Germany. Beyond its devotion to Rieslings, the shop also demonstrates a loyalty to lesser-known varietals and seasonal vintages via in-house tastings that let you sample international wines and make your own comprehensive tasting notes, albeit ones unlikely to rival those of the highly opinionated staff. Prices vary from $5-$300 a bottle; a goodly array are $15 or less.
