In 1996 Greg left Le Bec-Fin (after nearly twenty years as sommelier and General Manager) to open Moore Brothers Wine Company, a retail wine shop in Pennsauken, New Jersey, that sells hand-picked, small-farm wines from some of the finest producers in the world.
Of special interest is that every Moore Brothers wine is “sourced” in a direct, personal relationship with the farmer-grower who made it, and is shipped and stored in perfect conditions of temperature control. Most sell for less than sixteen dollars per bottle.
In 1999 Greg opened his second Moore Brothers store, located in the Trolley Square section of Wilmington, Delaware. Food and Wine Magazine named it “Best New Wine Shop in America”, in 2001. A third Moore Brothers store, with a mezzanine floor dedicated to wine classes and special events, opened at 33 East 20th Street (across the street from Gramercy Tavern) in New York in May of 2006.
Greg’s first book, The Wine Chronicles – Writing Your Own Fine Wine Book, was published by Running Press in 2002.
Greg,
I missed our first class on this past Tuesday, March 13th. We just got back from vacation and I assigned the date to the wrong day of the week.
I was so disappointed.
I will be at the London Grill on Tuesday, the 20th for the next class and am hoping you can bring the notes/printout/book that you would have handed out last week for me for this Tuesday.
Thanking you in advance and definitely seeing you this Tuesday,
Joan Templeton
Greg.
Thanks for the information & opportunities to meet the vintners.
Unfortunately I’m away again this weekend, as I was for the last pourings I got an email about, last weekend.
I am looking forward to future tastings.
I love the links by subject pages too – next to this box. Congrats to David for that, I presume.
Best wishes to you & family.
Greg,
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on January 24, when Paolo made an appearance in your store. Your love of the wine, culture, geography and vintners is infectious. The only thing that could have made it better was if Paolo had spoken more as he was quite charismatic. In any event, I look forward to attending more of your tastings.
Sincerely,
Holly Rosum
Greg,
I am looking at a mid June weekend in Tours, and wondered if you have a few Loire Valley wineries you’d suggest I try to get to for
un peu de degustation. Merci bien de votre response.

Hi, David Moore here – a weekend doesn’t give you much time, and you’ll need your skills in French.
The village of Thesee sur Cher isn’t real close to Tours, but Vincent Ricard is worth a visit. His info is at http://domainericard.com/contact.html
A little closer in Chinon, Fabrice Gasnier does wonderful work. Information at:

If you tell them you’re a Moore Brothers customer, they’ll likely fall all over you.
Have fun
David Moore
