The modern elegance of this shop belies the warmth of owner David Oei, his staff, and house puppy Jazz. Champagne selections here reflect David's idiosyncratic and distinguished palette. There are selections that, while highly esteemed in France, rarely find their way to American shores, such as Vranken and de Venoge, as well as multiple vintages of one of his favorite wines, Billecart-Salmon Grand Cuvï ½e. David is discerning, unpretentious, and always has an eye toward the serendipitous versus that made invisible by familiarity. His loyal clientele includes private chefs who rely on him to create the perfect wine match for their menus.
