Vintage NY Has Closed its SoHo Location

This is sad news, but Vintage NY (a wine shop that sells only NY wines) has closed the doors of its SoHo location, and the neighboring NY wine-only wine bar.

Emails to one of the owners has gone unreturned, but as I can get more information, I'll share it.

For now, the other location remains open, as does their Rivendell Winery location upstate.

UPDATE: I received an email from co-owner Robert Ransom today. In it he told me:

"Sadly it is true that we have been forced to close our Soho operations.  Our closing one of our locations, however, is not a reflection on the NY wine industry's vitality - it is really a sign of the times; rising rents, exhorbitant ancilliary business costs, terrible margins, a declining neighborhood - the list goes on.  Please make it clear that we are putting all of our efforts iinto our Broadway location, and that Vintage New York remains commited to promoting the NY wine industry.

Such a shame. That store with its wine bar attached was such gem.
