The store that I choose for the retail beverage shop analysis /comparison post was Chambers St Wines located in 148 Chambers Street. The reason I choose this shop was,I did a little research online and in their reviews it said they were widely knowledgeable of wines and it was also the nearest store in the option on my daily routine. I called two weeks ahead prior to my visit and email the manager named Rihana. On Wednesday March 16 she received me at 1 pm the store was busy staff were accommodating the new wine she gave me a walk around the shop since the cellar was not available due to the new shipment. But she let me take a quick look from down the steps it was climate control with wooden floors and fixed shelves so they could lay the wine. Then the store tour started at the the front of the store they have located all the New World Wines by region and by grape type. The back of the store is arrange the same way but broken down into more categories so it would be by Country, Region, Red or White wine,village wines, grape type and finally by organic farming or biodynamic. The sparkling wines are categorised by Brut,demi sec,extra brut altogether as well as Spirits. The manager also told me as well that all there value price wine is put in the front by the register because all that wine put on display is from the old season. I would recommend this shop for all wine drinkers they have very flexible prices and just like there online reviews. I told the manager to give me some suggestions to take home some Italian wine since it’s the wine we are discussing this week in class so I bought home with me one Primitivo(red wine)organic farming and one Gavi (dry white wine) biodynamic. I was fascinated a meet expectations in what I was looking for in my wine preferences with her suggestions and hopefully visit soon again.
Great information. It is comforting to know that their on line reviews properly predicted the experience you had.
