Fine Wine. No Attitude.

At Frankly Wines, we offer our version of the well-stocked wine closet: a well-edited selection of daily essentials, quirky finds, and higher end treasures for when you’re feeling flush.

Our selection skews towards the Southern Hemisphere, but you’ll also find wines from most other major (and minor) regions of the world. And you can be sure every bottle represents great value – when you sell less than 200 wines, they all have to be good!

Features And Specials

	Fancy Pants Wine: TAKE YOUR MAMA OUT: Not-Cheap Champagne
	The Scissor Sister’s have an excellent Mother’s Day suggestion: Take your mama out all night Yeah we’ll show her what it's all about We’ll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne We’ll let the good times all roll out I’m a mama X3, and I think this sounds like an excellent idea. However, while there is such a thing as bad Champagne, cheap Champagne just doesn’t exist. But there are still relatively good values in the region and the wines of Marie-Noelle Ledru are some of the best. So make mama happy and bring her some bubbles. Prices range from $49.99 to $109.99 (that’s for a magnum, which would make mama *very* happy) Click through to learn more.

	Featured Wine: TAKE YOUR MAMA OUT: Make Her the Apple of Your Eye
	Goussin Cider Heritage 1900 Cuvee Tradition (Aube, France): I honestly don't know much about this bottle of bubbles except that it's made from apples, it's imported by the always-excellent Langdon Shiverick, it's extremely well-priced... and it's crazy delicious! Ciders can range from the almost-hard stuff you find in a London pub, to crazy, funky, almost-sweaty (in a good way) stuff from Spain, to elegant wine-y styles. This is the later. The bubbles are very fine, it's very slightly sweet, and did I mention... it's crazy delicious. And at this price, if you don't buy a bottle for mama, you should be disowned. Price: $14.99

	Fancy Pants Wine: TAKE YOUR MAMA OUT: Treat Her Like an English Rose
	Ridgeview Fitzrovia English Sparkling Wine Rose 2009 (Sussex, England): Sparkling rose...with an English accent. Don't be afraid.... those white cliffs of Dover...they're a continuation of the chalk soil that makes Champagne so very special. Right now, we're one of only two shops (that we know of) selling the Ridgeview wines in the entire country. Which makes this bottle very special. And you very special for giving it. And your mama very special for getting it. And come on, who doesn't like an English accent? Price: $39.99

	Spirits : Give Mama Something Pretty
	Finger Lakes Distilling Pear Brandy (80 Proof) (Finger Lakes, New York): Distilled from local New York Bosch pears, this is an elegant and pure flavored pear brandy with no harsh flavors. Made in the style of European eaux-de-vie, with no added sweetness at all, it’s pure pear essence in a bottle. And the bottle is beautiful. And mama likes pretty things… especially when they’re filled with liquor. (Or maybe that’s just me.) Price: $25.99

	Spirits : Give Mama Something Gorgeous
	Jean-Marc Roulot L'Abricot Liqueur d'Abricots (France): Just in, just in time for Mother’s Day… an almost mind-bogglingly delicious apricot brandy from super-star Burgundy producers Jean-Marc Roulot. Yes, the bottle is gorgeous (and comes in a fancy canister) but you could put this stuff in a sippy cup and it would still be stunning. It falls firmly in the category of gnaw-off-your-arm good. So if you see a few one-armed mamas roaming the streets of Tribeca on Monday, you'll know what happened. Price: $64.99

	Spirits : Give Mama Something to Put on Her Pancakes
	You know that pancake breakfast you always made for mama (or now, make your own kids make for mama.) Well, give her something extra special to go with (or on) those pancakes. Finger Lakes Distilling Maplejack Liqueur. It’s apple brandy made from locally sourced apples and backsweetened with New York State maple syrup. At 70 proof it’s a bit stronger than your usual maple syrup, but it’s OK, mama can take it. Price: $19.99

	Spirits : We've Got Booze!!
	Distilled spirits. Liquor. Hard alcohol...Whatever you call it, we have it. At least a bit of it. Given the size of the shop, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that our spirits selection is very, very well edited. But we've managed to sneak in some quirky cool finds, as well as the basics. You can't yet view spirits through our regular wines search page, but click here to see a partial list of what's on offer.

	Featured Wine: MYSTERY BOTTLE BAGS: Las Vegas in a Bag
	Everyone loves a surprise. And everyone loves a bargain. Our Mystery Bottle Bags combine both. Give us a $20 (that includes tax) and we’ll give you a bottle of something you’re probably not expecting. It’s sort of like Las Vegas in a bag – sometimes you’ll wine a little, sometimes you’ll lose a little – and sometimes you’ll hit the jackpot! On average, you’ll get more than you paid for. Each bottle includes a brief tasting not so you’ll know what you’re about to open. We’ll also let you know the bottle’s original price – so you’ll know just how well you fared in our version of wine roulette. And feel free to go nuts and pick up multiples – we have a secret code to avoid repeat bottles. Price: $18.37 ($20 including tax)

	Fancy Pants Wine: GET YOUR GANEVAT
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. More Jura. What can we say... it's an obsession. Another Frankly Wines obsession. Enough of an obsession that I generally have good, reliable stock of several producers, but Jean-François Ganevat isn't one of those producers. I placed the order for these wines back in November and was told they would arrive... sometime....maybe February? Well, turned out to be April, but I don't really care. These aren't wines that rely on fast/fresh/fruity for their appeal. They were ordered in the typical configuration of one for me, several for the shop, so there's not a lot to go around. And when they're gone...well, we clearly have no idea when we'll get more. Any questions, send them to christy@franklywines.com. To check out the selection, click here, enter GANEVAT in the producer/vintage/region box, and hit search.

	Fancy Pants Wine: WINE YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED: Something Sexy from Slovenia
	Santomas Antonius Big Red Reserve 2004 (Smarje, Slovenia): We just got a new batch of Slovenian wine. Because really, doesn’t every 320 square foot wine shop needs a decent selection of Slovenian wines? OK, not really. But most of this selection was easy to justify. Liter bottles of a springy, floral white and a bright, zippy red that hit the shelf for less than $15? An excellent value in complex Pinot Grigio (yes, there is such a thing as complex Pinot Grigio) from the valley bordering Italy’s more famous Fruili region? All this make perfect easy-to-justify sense. But a high end Slovenian red made from the refosko grape, with 24 months of French barrique aging? That one’s not so clear cut...but I still manage to make a case for it. Price: $34.99 Click through to learn more.

	Featured Wine: WINE YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED: Beer-ish Wine
	Donati Camillo Malvasia Dolce Frissante 2010 (Emilia Romagna, Italy): This wine comes off like a crazy cross between cider, beer and cream soda. It’s considered a sparkling wine, but it’s more foamy than full on sparkling. And yes, we have to tell the truth and admit that it’s the tiniest bit sweet. But don’t be scared. Because pretty much everyone who tries this stuff likes it. Not just likes it, but loves it. Even becomes ridiculously addicted to it. And it’s the perfect companion to salty Superbowl-type snacks. Admit it – you’re curious. So if you’re looking for an extra push to give it a try, just use the excuse that at least someone at every Superbowl party would rather be drinking beer, so serve this as a “sort of beer-like substitute.” And then just try not to like it. Price: $19.99

	Featured Wine: JUMPING JURA! GET YOUR REDS HERE!
	I’ll admit it – I get a slightly perverse thrill from gazing over case stacks of obscure grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau and even the occasional Pinot Noir. Our recent shipment includes Jacques Puffeney’s gorgeous Poulsard “M”, his often overlooked Pinot Noir, two different Trousseaus from Michel Gahier, and the delicious, gluggable Cotes du Jura Poulsard from Nicole Deriaux of Domaine Montbourgeau (which this year, is in a green bottle so as not to scare off anyone who thinks they’re in for a bottle of rose). To check out the selection, click here, select RED from the drop down menu, and search on JURA. *A new bunch of whites have arrived too, but we’re attempting to focus.

	Fancy Pants Wine: WE'VE GOT YOUR CHATEAU MUSAR RIGHT HERE
	I have always known I was obsessed with Chateau Musar. And now, thanks to Eric Asimov’s recent piece in the *New York Times, the world knows it. And hopefully, the world will share a bit in my obsession. As the article makes clear, these are magical wines that very much reflect the man behind them: Serge Hochar, a sort of jet set, margarita-sipping, philosopher king of wine. Read it, and if you’re intrigued, come back here and have a look at our selection. For a detailed overview on the various vintages we'll be working with this spring, click VIEW MORE. * I don't have photographic proof of the margarita-sipping. You'll just have to believe me.

	Featured Wine: A OLD WORLD WINERY State of Mind
	I used to have this rule about not wanting too many wines from the same winery in the shop. Well, this was a stupid rule, and I’ve broken it many times since opening. But maybe not quite so spectacularly as with the latest purchase of Old World Winery wines from California. We now have five different bottles on the shelf, which given the size of our California section, is a little ridiculous. And this doesn’t count the two bottlings we had and sold through… never to be seen again because the vineyards have been ripped up. Winemaker Darek Trowbridge, of the Martinelli (sort of a synonym for “zinfandel”) seems to have a talent for scoring access to fruit from quirky, beautiful vineyard sites only to see those vineyards torn up and planted to more “commercial” fruit. Which is sad. But it’s a reason you should buy these wines, try them, and stock up on the ones you like before they do the way of the dinosaurs. To learn more, click here, and search on *OLD WORLD*.

	Spirits : WHISKEY
	New England Corn Whiskey (86 Proof): Now on Closeout Special! This is 100% corn whiskey distilled and aged in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts. Price: WAS $47.99 - NOW $38.99

	Spirits : LIQUEUR
	Giles Merlet et Fils Merlet Triple Sec Liqueur (80 proof): (Cognac, France) Triple sec so good it's enjoyable on it's own. Made with bitter orange, lemon, and blood orange for a broad range of flavors across the palate. Think of it like a small-batch version of Gran Marnier, except with a neutral spirit base in place of cognac. This will turn a Cadillac Margarita into a Rolls Royce Margarita! Price: $29.99
