Since 1998, Acker Auctions has sold over $50 million worth of the world's most highly regarded wines.
Acker Merrall & Condit is a wine shop whose roots date back to 1820. It is a family-run business that takes as much pride in its customer service as it does in its vast collection of worldwide wines. The Kapon family has maintained their wine shop for three
generations, and although the shop has one of the largest collections of wines of the world, the big business with its quaintly qualities remains focused on finding innovative ways to enrich the wine-buying experience for its valued patrons.
AM&C offers educational seminars and wine-testing events. The Wine Workshop is highly regarded in New York, and the Wine Every Month Club offers patrons new
wines monthly along with insightful information. A listing of top wines under $15 also is offered. The company newsletter, which is written by John Kapon, is informative and humorous. John goes into vivid detail on how one might feel after tasting 20 or more wines in one sitting. His down-to-earth writing style is very entertaining. Accommodating wine lovers from neophytes to connoisseurs is the goal of Acker Merrall & Condit.
