THERE ARE OVER 230 WINERIES IN NEW YORK STATE. Wineries from the Hudson River Valley, Finger Lakes, Lake Erie and Long Island have been producing award-winning wines for decades. Have you found many wines from these regions in your local wine or liquor store? We didn't.

EVERY WINE LABEL CLAIMS THE WINE WILL BE JUST RIGHT FOR YOU. Have you ever gone to a wine store, gotten no assistance in choosing your wine, and then found the wine was totally different from what you expected? We have.

We're Margot and Rich Cirino, the proprietors of New York Wine Cork, a unique wine store in upstate New York. Our mission is to make it easier for you to find, and enjoy, wine.

On May 16, 2000, we opened New York Wine Cork in a little, tiny 20' x 20' store between Hartford and Granville. Our plan was to sell New York State wines by mail order from our website. We expected to see our UPS driver every day and just a few random (perhaps lost) customers in person at our little Baker Road shop. Goodness, how things have changed!

So many people came to visit us in Hartford that, in 2005, we moved our store to Glens Falls, just as it was awakening from a very, very long economic nap.

For our first two years in Glens Falls, we continued to specialize in 100% New York wines, and make our own "Liberty Red" Cabernet Franc.

Many customers enjoyed New York's world-class Rieslings, Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, but other customers couldn't find wines that they liked, especially reds from warm climates like California, Italy and Australia. We needed to help them too, so we decided to re-license our store.

It took five months, but we finally got our "traditional" wine and liquor store license in November, 2007. We had to stop making our Liberty Red, but we could stock and sell any wine or liquor that any customer wanted ... and we did ... and we are glad we did!

But now, our name is a problem ...

You know that we sell wines from all over the world, but many other customers still don't know about our new selection. We have advertised the change in print, on radio and on TV, but our name still suggests "Strictly New York" and creates confusion.

So that's why we're changing our name, and we invite you to help us change it. So far, we have gotten dozens of suggestions. Is our new name already on the list below? Maybe. Maybe not. What's your suggestion?
