BROSE NOSE: NYC SPOTTING / Chelsea Wine Cellar

When I die and go to heaven, this is exactly how I imagined it: stacked wine bottles everywhere! The Chelsea Wine Cellar is a true diamond in the ruff. Stocked with more than 2,700 labels (the owner said that's when he stopped counting), this cozy shrine to the nectar of the Gods is a densely packed, serene nook in the heart of the bustling Chelsea district. I could easily spend the day in there. I said this out loud as I happily snapped my photos. Some customers looked at me strangely - when I explained that the LCBO doesn't allow us to enjoy wine in the same way, they understood.
