As Jerry Seinfeld would keenly observe, "What is the deal with this weather? Warm and pleasant one day, cold and misty the next...this is supposed to be Spring, People!" In all seriousness, these seasonal transitions pose challenges in selecting wines to enjoy. It's still too cold for Provencal rose and Muscadet (though this is never REALLY the case) and we need something delcious to accompany our...

Don't know what to buy the old man? How about a magnum of forbidden juice? Join us tonight from 6-8pm to sample two fabulous wines available in large format bottles. Nothing says "I love you, Pops" like Chateauneuf du Pape, a wrecking ball of concentration and flavor that pairs beautifully with grilled steak. For something a little more festive and summery, try a magnum of Pomponette rose. Discovery...

Now that the weather has turned decidely humid and gross, there's little desire for the rich, blood-warming reds of winter. Wines that drink wonderfully during the colder months turn heavy and cloying in the summer heat. Luckily for us, this does not require a red recession! Join us tonight from 6-8pm to taste through some light-bodied, chillable reds that prefer a day at the beach to a roaring fire....

Mezcal, which has been produced in the villages of Mexico for hundreds of years, is a gateway into the past. Its raw, smokey flavor and succulent bite are capable of transporting even the most causual drinker to another time and place, a time before tequila or the modern distillation practices that produce it. Come by Discovery Wines tonight from 6-8pm to experience the evocative pleasures of an age...

As most of you already know, we have a stellar selection of French wine. As most of you don't know, we have very little space to store it! Our shelve are cramped, the basement is overflowing, and we can only drink so much ourselves. Join us tonight from 6-8pm to experience three French winegrowing regions at their best. The 2009 vintage is here to stay! Paul Thomas Sancerre Rouge 2009-$20 Paul Thomas...

Okay, we admit it! Sometimes, domestic wines made outside California don't get as much attention as they deserve. Although we take great care in selecting the best wines from every corner of the world, it is easy for certain wines (even entire regions) to get lost in the mix. This Saturaday, April 14th from 6-8pm, we'll focus on whites made in the US of A that are often overlooked, but drinking exceptionally...

At the risk of sounding a little redundant, Discovery Wines would like to restate its position on Italian wines. They're Awesome! Join us this Friday from 6-8pm to taste through 3 flavorful options for springtime quaffing. "Why Italian", you may ask. Because Italian wines are naturally high in acidity and pair wonderfully with the lighter picnic fair of the seaon. As the weather warms and the flowerbeds...

New Yorkers have stopped donning their flip-flops and we at Discovery have put together a trio of ripe, savory reds to remind you of the merits of winter. Put on your wool socks and visit us at the shop this Saturday,...

Jean Foillard Once a year, we always look forward to receiving our small allocation of Jean Foillard's wines. It's relatively miniscule, but it's always a joy to have Foillard grace our shelves, even if it only lasts for a short time. It gets snapped up pretty quickly. You see, years ago, there were a handful of winemakers (one of which was Foillard) that started a qualitative revolution in a small...

Join us at Discovery Wines this Friday, January 20th from 6 to 8pm for an International Wine tasting. You'll laugh, you'll cry, or you just might learn something about the stellar wines of the Vine Collective portfolio.
