Gowanus Wine Merchants

Gowanus Wine Merchants Curated wine shop in the heart of Gowanus. Natural wines and Old World Classics. Tasted by us, chose

Owners Tom Hyland and Rick Lopez met several years back at Morrell & Co. Last summer, over some great wines and food, Tom said "Hey Rick, do you want to open a wine shop together". Rick responded, "absolutely!" One year, a few great lawyers and a liquor license later they opened Gowanus Wine Merchants!

Dave is our ! We know Dave as a welcome ball of energy with a tail that whirls like a propellor, an eager pup who pops up on his hind legs to join in with a sake tasting. But Ella () tells us that he is sedate, sleepy little fella at home. She also told us that his swag is so strong, that during his time as an office dog, everyone referred to his bipedal colleague with the same name as Human Dave. All we know if he makes our day every time we see him. We ❤️ you, Dave!
