About AWC
Ardesia Wine Club (AWC) holds true to the philosophy we bring to our wine bar - to make wine approachable and unintimidating. Each month we decide on a theme that will drive the conversation for the wines, which will generally include a mix of reds and whites, but every now and then you might find a bottle of bubbles or even an orange (skin contact) wine... we like to drink with the seasons and our club will reflect that! You will also receive a detailed overview of the theme as well as tasting notes, producer info, and food pairing tips for each wine. To top it off, Mandy will host a members-only Zoom gathering at the end of each month for a guided tasting of one of the monthly wines. Other perks include discounts at Ardesia, Beaupierre Wines & Spirits, and invites to members-only events.
AWC brings the spirit of Ardesia right into your home. Together let’s learn, explore & demystify the endlessly fascinating world of wine!
Beaupierre Partnership
Ardesia Wine Club is a collaboration between Ardesia and Beaupierre Wines & Spirits. Mandy selects the wines and creates the materials you receive, while Beaupierre assists in sourcing the selections, facilitates our memberships, and fulfills our pick-ups and delivery.
Located nearby on 10th Avenue between (between 46th St. and 47th St.), Beaupierre Wines and Spirits is the brainchild of Yannick Benjamin and Heidi Turzyn, two native New Yorkers who possess a combined 40+ years of experience in the wine and hospitality industries, which is undeniably reflected in their selections.
Our wine club is built on friendship and expertise. Heidi & Yannick, dear friends and trusted partners with years of experience in the wine world, join us in delivering exceptional selections for you. Together, we combine our shared knowledge, passion, and industry connections to bring you thoughtfully chosen wines that inspire discovery and enjoyment in every glass.
History
We created Ardesia Wine Club (AWC) as a way to share knowledge and appreciation of wine outside of our four walls. Prior to the pandemic, we loved hosting you for wine classes, leading you toward wines you would love and may never have reached for. When we needed to close our doors temporarily, we stayed in touch through a virtual wine tasting series on Instagram Live led by Mandy each week. The lively discussions that ensued helped keep our morale high during a trying time. Ever since then, we have been thinking about how to expand and evolve these conversations. This led us to launch AWC as a way to capture the spirit of discovery and build a community of curious wine lovers.
After three incredibly fun years, we decided to make the difficult decision to halt the wine club to refocus on our day-to-day operations at the wine bar, as well as open our sister location, Dot’s, a daytime concept we opened at the start of 2024.
