Otto made his in store debut last week all over New York City and to celebrate, our intrepid wine chief held a tasting at her local wine merchants, Thirst, on Dekalb avenue in Ft. Green, Brooklyn. This is a compact and well designed store chock full of great wine and a fine selection of spirits like my favorite Michter’s Rye. Armed with OCD Sauvignon Blanc, OCD Pinot Noir, dry sausage, goat cheese, bread, carmelized onion spread, and a bottomless well of bon homie, Wine Chief (aka Melissa) parked herself behind Thirst’s lovely granite topped tasting table and prepared to spread the gospel of Otto. Armed with an inside out knowledge of grape, label and vine her pitch was often unneeded after the oohs and aahs that followed those sniffs and sips the fine looking folks of Ft. Green enjoyed. In two hours many happy Otto acolytes marched out into the beautiful afternoon leaving Thirst a case and a half lighter. Prepare yourself, we’re bringin’ the Otto experience to your neighborhood juice joint soon - sooner if you ask for it.
