It's Thanksgiving Eve—a good time to make sure you have enough wine to see you through the coming days and even weeks.
To help you get started, here's a list of Harlem's top wines stores, each with their own specially-curated selections and knowledgeable staff. And, yes, all of them deliver.
From south to north, they are:
