Much like the micro-beer business that came back after years of consolidation, craft distillers are popping up all over the country with an incredible assortment of Gins, Vodkas, Rums and Whiskeys.

type, region or grape - always with an eye towards value! We never outsource our decisions to the press or other outside critics, preferring instead to personally know the wines we sell so we can better communicate with our customers and find wines that truly meet or exceed their expectations. We travel every year to get first-hand knowledge of new vintages, new releases and new growers, as well as taste with those whom we have had long-standing relationships. We also greet hundreds of winemakers from around the world regularly in the shop to taste and learn about their wines. We do have a preference towards organic and biodynamic production, although many of our growers are not necessarily certified, many are practicing some of sustainable winegrowing with the goal of making wines that express their grapes, terroirs and traditions in the very purest sense. The team is headed up by Chris Cree, one of only 31 Masters of Wine in the US, who is happy to share his love of wine, food and people (and over 30 years experience) with all of our valued clients. We hope you will visit us online or in the shop and get to know a little more about what makes 56 so special!
