Jean-Luc LeDû is a friend of Murray's.  His incredible knowledge of wine draws our staff to his tidy shop between our Greenwich Village outpost and the Hudson, but his climate-controlled store full of rare and small-production wines keep us going back.  Jean-Luc is an instructor at The Cheese Course, so give him a call and ask for advice on which special wines to pair with our fantastic cheese.

It's a short leap from a passion for cheese to a passion for wine. At Grand Central station, you can take this literally.
