The Village Wine Merchant is my favorite place to purchase wine. The large number of organic and biodynamic wine choices in a wide range of price tiers is remarkable... Michael is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with good recommendations for wine and food paring... My wine knowledge and appreciation has grown a great deal since the store opened. — Bruce M.

The staff is friendly and gives the best recommendations. Need a special bottle for a gift? Need a few delicious-yet-reasonably-priced bottles for a party? Every recommended bottle is exactly right for the occasion - and quite delicious! — Tobi L.

The Village Wine Merchant is the perfect wine store. You can’t go wrong here... The personalized service is well worth the drive from Glen Cove, Roslyn, or wherever you are. — Jason M.

This is a great local wine store and one of the North Shore’s best-kept secrets. Michael is very passionate about his wines and it shows in the really unusual selections in all different price ranges... Take him a recipe for a special dinner and he’ll recommend the perfect wine to accompany it. Now, you’d think all of this might be expensive, but you’ll be surprised at the array of interesting wines he has in the $10-$20 range... This store is a real find and we’re lucky to have it in our area. — David F.
