Today, Eric Asimov wrote a piece in The New York Times about little known Italian wines that are a good value. Unfortunately, the paper didn't include the most helpful information - where to buy them! That's right folks, the paper decided to only list importers since it insists on having a national food section. Too bad that isn't much help to New Yorkers.
Here are a couple of our favorite places to pick up Italian wines from $10 to $20:
Smith & Vine (268 Smith Street, Brooklyn) has a great selection - 50 different bottles in that price range.
Astor Wines & Spirits (399 Lafayette Street) is even more impressive, with over 90 wines in this price range.
Enoteca DiPalo (200 Grand Street) opened in November two doors down from the original DiPalo, featuring wine from each of Italy's 20 regions. While the prices are generally higher than the Times range, more like $15 - $29 for most bottles, the selection includes some hard to find wines and is chosen with the usual DiPalo family care.
