Located in a 1917 landmark train station building, Folkways’ storefront might deceive you. Once you step inside, you’ll realize that this wine and liquor shop is anything but vintage. Owners Jonas Anderson and Natalie Gehrels have curated a collection of wines and spirits guided by the desire for discovery. They highlight atypical regions, grape varieties and styles of wine that focus on diverse, naturally driven vintages, conscientious winemakers and small production vineyards. Even the most discerning oenophile can find something new in this shop. Some of their “regulars” are residents of Putnam and Fairfield counties as well as New Jersey because the incredible selection is unlike anything in their area. (Note: They do ship nationally and offer free local delivery to Westchester, Putnam and Fairfield counties.) Plus, Folkways offers a variety of gift items, ranging from handcrafted ceramics and refined stemware to unusual homewares and interesting publications from around the world.
