The Retail wine store I visited is the 55th street Wine and Spirits its located on 50 W 55th St, the store is pretty small. The wine store is just down the block from the Love Sculpture, four blocks south of Central Pak and within the walking distance from Times Square. They have a great variety of domestic and international wines, and as well as a large selection of spirits. In the store, the wines and spirits were arranged along the walls and in the center of the store, which is typical for a wine shop, each of the areas of the wines was designed by the country and each of the countries is broken down into appellations and grape varieties and also the style of the wines. The customer service and organization were great. The lighting of the store was excellent because the customers could look at the wines and read labels, it is essential for a retail store and the location itself was wonderful, the employees are dedicated their time and effort to each the customers when they come in, and each customer leaves with a bottle of wine or spirits each time they visit the store.

Red Wine from Spain is Volver Single Vineyard Tempranillo it is a Saturated ruby color. The wine has a strikingly aromatic nose that offers a pungent array of fruit and herbal scents.

A lively mousse, but is amazing in mouth, with sub-tie red berry flavors enlivened by bright acidity.
