In business since 1820 -- which makes Acker America's oldest wine shop -- this attractive little store is the Upper West Side's best wine source. There are no bad bottles here. The careful selection is well displayed, with authoritative cards attached to each bin to help you choose. A supremely knowledgeable staff is on hand for additional assistance.
