We’re lucky - we have wine friends (sales) who share interesting and sometimes rare wine with us despite our size. They know we’re interested in wines that are not that common and perhaps new to the market. Such is this wine from Azienda Agricola Giuseppe Lazzaro. Established by Giuseppe Lazzaro in 2020 the winery is situated on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna in Milo, Sicily. The winery spans approximately 4.5 hectares across the northern, eastern, and southern sides of the volcano. The vines range from 40 to 90 years old.

You may not have heard of Giuseppe Lazzaro and we had not either. But you may have heard about his former employer - For 20 years, Lazzaro has worked alongside famed Frank Cornelissen as cellar master essentially responsible for all things wine-making at that estate. Lazzaro is committed to the many historical varieties of Etna. 

Action Bronson is a fan of Cornelissen's wines, if anyone has his phone number, ring him up and let him know we have these new wines.

We currently carry in limited amounts three of Lazzaro’s wines - the ZOE Nerello

Mascalese, a sparkling rose, the Bianco Terre Siciliane a field blend of Carricante and Catarratto, Minella Bianco, Inzolia, and Grecanico and the Russucori Rosso,

Nerello Mascalese, Terre Siciliane. The wines are pure, fresh, complex and expressive - and yes - natural. 

These are wines of yesteryear and each and every drop is a delight and a nod to the future.

Valentine’s Day is behind us and now onto President’s Day!

Last Friday we were pleased to participate in The SKY Building’s “Love at first Woof” Valentine’s Market and celebration of dogs, chocolates, flowers and wine!

We met dozens of residents of the SKY TOWER and shared our ideas on wine for Valentine’s Day. Rosé of course played a role, still and sparkling, something a little sweet, Riesling but dry, and a nice mellow red with character from Veneto - a Valpolicella Superiore.

It’s always fun to meet new wine lovers and introduce them to Veritas Studio Wines.

When Sky residents present our coupon, they will get a 20% discount on their purchase (in-store) and for that matter, being the generous people we are, 20% off first purchases for everyone. Sky or otherwise - Just mention this post and the discount applies to all wines.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone - thankfully it is over.

And if your building would like us to do some tasting - let us know.

Today is the day.

The first Big Bottle Pop-up of 2026

Big Bottle Pop-up is our way of saying thanks to our clients and friends and we are opening up a very special, very big bottle. And for the first time - we will be opening this bottle in-doors. Today’s Big Bottle Pop Up will take place at 7:30pm tonight at CUBBYS - 630 10th Avenue between 44th and 45th. Cubby’s is owned by Charles Guenancia and Leila Colbert, children of Georges Guenancia, former owner of the famous Café Un Deux Trois.

It is all about community - so come on over - and don’t forget to bring a cup - we drink until its gone.

See you later.

The time has come - BIG BOTTLE POP UP is upon us and we are ready to kick Dry January in the arse.

Tomorrow, Sunday, February 1st, 7:30pm - we will open this imperial of Les Hauts de Smith, 2018 from the lauded Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafitte. At Veritas we go big, No Piccolo, Demi, Standard, Magnum, Double Magnum, Jeroboam, Rehoboam but a Methuselah….We will be enjoying this 6 liter (8 bottles) bottle at a place to be revealed tomorrow, Sunday, February 1st - close by and indoors (don’t worry). Bring your own cup, but not too big.

We will be toasting each other and the year ahead and we also lift a glass for Daniel Cathiard, co-owner of the Chateau who died just three days ago at the age of 81. He is responsible for resurrecting Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafitte in the 80s bringing quality to the estate like never seen before.

So, stay tuned, the spot will be revealed Sunday morning. We hope to see you!
