One third of the AOC wine franchise located in Greenwich and Columbus Circle; this AOC location could use a drink. Despite being located on the busy corner of Huguenot and Division, this shop is typically empty most evenings. The tinted glass could give one the impression that they are not open to the public. Or maybe it's the simplistic warehouse design that deters browsing or impulse purchases. Whist the stock is adequate, an oenophile may find the selection meager. There are several organic wines that are a good value and worth a try. The store manager was helpful but, did not make any suggestions outside of the vintage I requested.
AOC offers wine paring suggestions and free classes once a month. While I think the location is perfect, they need to work on making the experience one that is fine like wine.
Must: There are many $20 palate pleasing wines
Bust: The shop is unwelcoming and has a warehouse feel
