Profile
Appellation is the first shop in New York to market itself as a natural-wine source. More than two thirds of its inventory is either organic or biodynamic, organized by country and by body (lightest to fullest). �In order to be bio,� says owner Scott Pactor, �chances are you’re plowing fields using animals, and using their dung as compost. You’re intimate with your grapes.� Whether consumers are as intimate with some of these wines is another matter�one Pactor likes to address by assiduous hand-selling and plenty of tastings.
