Wine & Unwind

Wine and Unwind is a Harlem based wine store focused on providing the community with access to wine from the world’s classic Old World and New World regions as well as emerging wine regions. We focus on family-owned, sustainably farmed, wineries that produce expressive, tasty, wines. We want our customers to enjoy wine that highlights the attributes of its varietal(s), wine making style, and terro

ir. Ultimately, we believe enjoying wine comes down to three main themes:


Learn: The wine world can feel immense and is constantly evolving with new wine regions being explored and cultivated every year and local, esoteric, varietals being showcased for their unique attributes. This can feel intimidating, but once you learn the fundamentals this immense world will become more tangible and familiar. When enjoying wine, take a moment to learn something new about the wine, such as the region or appellation it calls home or how its varietal's unique characteristics are showcased. You will quickly start to pick up trends and better appreciate the wines you have always enjoyed! Pour: Drink lots of wine! The best way to learn about wine is to taste wine. You can read about a bottle of wine and learn about the region, varietal(s) and wine maker’s style, but you will not truly grasp the wine until you taste it. Therefore, aim to constantly try new wines and develop a palate for the different regions, varietal(s) and styles. You will naturally find wines that you enjoy more than others, but always appreciate the wine for its attributes even though you may not prefer those attributes. Couple this with what you have learned and you will become a wine expert in no time! Share: Easily the most important theme. Wine is best enjoyed when shared! Pour your family and friends a glass of wine and share what you have learned with them. Then, enjoy the wine and the company. Wine simply tastes better when shared with family and friends. What's more, you will learn from each other as you experience the wine together. Please visit our store and taste some wine with us during one of our free wine tasting events! It is a great way to embark on your wine journey, creating warm memories with us.
