NYC Winery

I have discovered a NYC winery that makes me envious enough to move there. Located in SOHO is Manhattan's first City Winery in 40 years. Not only can you enjoy over 400 different types of wine while listening to live music, island dwellers can actually participate in the winemaking process. For only $3o, you can choose your grapes and work with the specialists in the de-stemming, pressing, fermentation, and bottling of the wine.


Oh DC, please open a City Winery!
