Shopping America Onwine
New York Magazine, April 3, 2000

Techno-savvy wine-seller Jeff Hock has invaded Kozmo.com territory with his new Website, Winesby.com. Point, click, and within 90 minutes, anything from an $8 Cape Indaba Sauvignon blanc to a $27 Paul Jeune Chateauneuf du Pape will be delivered to your door -- provided you live or work in Manhattan, below 96th Street. Nonvirtual drinkers need not stay away, however; Hock (below, second from right) has just opened a bricks-and-mortar store in the West Village, displaying 60 bottles along with wall beneath capsule descriptions and food-pairing advice.
