For these more expensive and rare wines/beverages, they do have four temperature controlled refrigerators and a temperature controlled wine room. Finding this out led me to ask if there were any customers who make requests for special or specific wines or spirits, and she said that they do not serve too many customers who do but that they can order pretty much anything upon request. Personally, I know the classic Mexican Tequila so this was a bit of a shock to know that Tequila made in Bulgaria was even a thing. I asked if there was one specific item that they are getting asked for more of now, and it is Bulgarian Tequila. The shop also orders seasonal items which Jodi says usually gets placed right up front for all customers to see because they do particularly well. On occasion they will order a small quantity of a new wine or spirit to see how well it does in the store so they can add it to their inventory. They also base placement on the quantity of a certain wine they order, sometimes these wines are more rare and only certain customers know about it because they have ordered it. She told me that they base the placement on the country, which they then go deeper with by placing the sale items up closer to get customers looking into new items. I spoke with her briefly and the first thing I was curious to know about, was how they decided on their wine placement throughout the store. The manager Jodi was very polite and hands on with her staff members on the floor. The prices are fairly well and there is a great variety. They also provide their customers with the option of actually ordering online, which I have seen becoming a trend in many wine and hard liquor establishments. The store does offer tastings but it is very rare, the last one being in July of 2017. Before visiting the shop, I did some research for myself on their website just to get a bit of background. The store opened in 1976 and say they specialize in hard to find wines, and offering great prices on well-known brands. For my retail shop analysis, I had the opportunity of visiting Mister Wright Fine Wines & Spirits, which is located at 1593 3rd Avenue on the Upper East Side.
