The Wine Dutchess invited me to a free wine tasting at Maslow 6 in TriBeCa. I had never heard of it an assumed it was just another wine shop. Upon entering it’s actually a hybrid of a wine store and a wine bar separated by a wall of glass. The wine bar side was dimly lit and candles illuminated each of the tables that lined the side wall and a chalkboard on the back wall listed food and wine. The wine shop side was well-stock and the owners at the register were very friendly and knowledgeable – they even gave us a 5% discount for attending the wine tasting which was sponsored by Communal Brands of Brooklyn. Maslow 6 hosts various tastings and classes each month.

Wines purchased:

• Alpha Zeta Soave, Italy (Verona), 2008
• Otto’s Constant Dream, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, 2008

Good for: neighborhood wine store, wine tastings, wine classes, wine bar, pre or post dinner drink
