"Penn Wine & Spirits" is a wine store located in Penn. Station, New York. The Store can be found on the L.I.R.R. level between tracks 16 and 17, in the corridor adjacent to Starbucks.
They carry an interesting selection of wines from around the world, with emphasis on the rarer brands. Making this the perfect store to shop for that one of a kind gift. I was lucky enough to wonder in on a Wednesday, when they were conduction a wine tasting of two red and one white wine. Tastings are held every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. With Friday's tasting run by the distributor's themselves, they showcase wines made at the same vineyard.
My favorite wine from the tasting was a 2006 Chateau Les Grandes Mottes Bordeaux Superior (Cab/Merlot Blend) on sale for $14.99 a bottle. Here are some tasting notes: "Deep cherry in color, it has an earthy smell. It's a medium bodied wine with ripe cherry and black teaflavors. There's also a strong tannic structure that you get full blast if you swish it around a while before swallowing. It's an interesting wine."
