This wine press stands near the entrance to the Ceres Street Wine Merchants.
"Since 1992, Ceres Street Wine Merchants, New Hampshire's oldest and largest private wine shoppe, features wines from around the world, stored in a proper cellar (even equipped with special non-UV lighting).
David Campbell is proprietor. "Having once lived in the Bordeaux region and later in the Loire, I've been around the grape most of my life. I handpick a bunch of wines thought to be of some special interest and leave the mass market to others."
Ceres Street Wine Merchants offers wine-related items including Riedel stemware, leverpulls, antique French wine jails, great hats, t-shirts and sweatshirts displaying the "Squeeze Me, Crush Me, Make Me Wine" legend, and specialty olive oils and gourmet fun foods!
Where: The shop is located at 65 Ceres St. on Portsmouth, New Hampshire's historic waterfront, near the famous tugboat.
Inventory changes seasonally. It's a smallish shoppe we have, and it's a dynamic inventory, so please do not ask for a catalog. We have more whites in summer and more reds in the other 11 months in New Hampshire. We try to have something for everyone's taste and budget, but no white zin, ever!
We get our share of the sexy wines. They go quickly, but give a call or e-mail with your wish list. Remember, they only make so much wine each year and when it's gone, it's gone! Thank goodness for annual harvests!
We all know that life is just too darn short to drink cheap wine, ever! Please ask about food/wine pairings. And if it's really great stuff you're having, please include time and place!
Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday from noon until 7 p.m.; Sundays, iffy; Mondays, closed.
