Food and Wine Pairing Made Fun

As New York’s newest wine store, Pour takes food and wine pairing seriously - but at the same time we make it fun and easy to learn whether online or in our store!  This is the driving force behind owners H. Tres Meyer’s vision of Pour which sparked the creation of New York’s first online food and wine pairing tool by a retail shop.  You’re only a few clicks away from having the perfect wine for any food or type of cuisine.

The traditional philosophy on food and wine pairing is based on simpler times and foods: white wine with chicken and fish, red wine with red meat.  Today, there are myriad fusion cuisines – ChinoLatino! – and upscale taverns – Gastropubs! – that raise the bar on cooking methods, use of seasonal, organic and locally farmed ingredients, and meshing flavors that come from opposite ends of the world into multi-layered palate combinations.  Now, more than ever, it’s a cinch to pair up these ambitious cuisines with even more ambitious wines.

Accordingly, the wine world has to accommodate these changes, and that’s where Pour comes in.  Our selections are hand picked and tasted in-house.  We make sure every single bottle is well made, tastes delicious, is a good value and is, of course, food friendly.  We encourage you to drink wine every day!  How can you pick from so many choices?  We’ve narrowed them down for you to the very best we feel are on the market today.  We’ve done the hard work upfront so you can enjoy your food and wine experience.  You can trust our palates!

We invite you to explore the numerous wine and food pairings using our one of a kind wine pairing tool.  We’ll narrow it down to a few perfect wines which you can purchase immediately with only a few clicks.  Enjoy!
