Christy Frank opened Frankly Wines not far from where she lives at the end of 2007, after seven years at Moët Hennessy USA. Her final three years there were spent managing the stateside business for the company’s Australia/New Zealand portfolio, which is why her shop’s selection is particularly strong on wines from the Southern Hemisphere. Frankly Wines isn’t large, but there’s a wide variety of wine (including Champagne and other sparkling wines). A handful of spirits, gift packs, and sample cases are available. NOTE: Christy recently sold the store to Liz Nicholson, who has overseen the beverage programs at Maialino and Marea.
