- 2 hour guide to NYC's wine market from an industry insider- Taste great wines by lesser known wineries in two stores over cheese and meats - Test our your new tasting skills and knowledge in a wine bar - Cost of wine and food included in price Wine doesn't have to taste bad to be within your budget. Learn how to side-step the sleek marketing traps that usually trick people into buying overpriced bottles by taking a tour of Tribeca's finest wine stores with Lyle Fass, a 15-year veteran of the industry who the New York Times dubbed, "a wine guy extraordinaire." With his insider knowledge, Lyle will teach you how to find hidden gems produced by lesser known wineries that will give you real value for your money. You'll visit two stores with him where you'll taste a selection of great wines paired with cheese and meat plates. Lyle will enrich your appreciation for what you're sipping by giving you the inside scoop on the virtues of smaller wineries and sharing the tips he's picked up while traveling through the world's best wine regions. Your last stop will be at a wine bar, where Lyle will buy a bottle and you'll be able to put your new skills to the test. The cost of the wine is included in the price of the tour, but transportation is not included (we definitely don't suggest you drive yourself). ABOUT THE HOSTLyle FassPrivate Wine Consultant I am a private wine consultant and 15-year veteran of the retail wine industry. I built my reputation in New York City by working as the wine director at Crush Wine & Spirits, then creating a renowned and dynamic German section at Chamber Street Wines. I frequently travel to the wine regions of Germany for tastings and write about it in detail on my blog, Rockss and Fruits, which is often cited by the Diner's Journal of the New York Times. I'm currently promoting the virtues of orange wine (that's right -- it's not just red, white and rosé).
