I recently tried to return a bottle of wine with American express receipt. It didn't work. Plus it took forever. Sherry-Lehman and good local stores much better about returning wine that is clearly off. Be very afraid of their returns/policies.

It's really beautiful, and I cannot wait until the shelves are fully stocked with 1) Italian wines (what else?) and 2) Virginia/NY/other regions of the US of A.

Dear Andrew,

Please open a store in London, UK - there’s nothing even close to your former store here!

Two items: prices will NOT be going up. We will be as promotional as ever. If anything, you should expect us to do better, given the fact that we own the building and are now relieved of the exorbitant rent. (We did not "lose our lease" as some rumors persist; we returned the space 2 years early for a financial settlement. We needed larger space to create the amenities we needed) Second, the "Cool Room" doors have not arrived. On them we will display about 500 wines. Until they arrive, many of our offerings cannot be displayed. They remain in our temparature-controlled rooms in our basement.<BR/><BR/>Andrew Fisher<BR/>Astor Wines & Spirits Thanks for your great comments! Two items: prices will NOT be going up.
