Sherry-Lehmann’s hidden ‘Wine Caves’ possibly found in NY FBI raid, sources say

The FBI raided a sleepy office complex north of New York City this week — and it could be the unlikely site where iconic wine shop Sherry-Lehmann has secretly been stashing a fortune in fine wines, The Post has learned.

On Tuesday — even as FBI agents were scouring Sherry-Lehmann’s now-shuttered shop on the Upper East Side, as reported exclusively by The Post — another FBI team descended upon a suburban tower in Pearl River, NY in what looked like an orchestrated blitz, sources close to the situation said.

The FBI appears to have been searching for what could be a massive, stash of prize booze in an underground, air-conditioned room at Blue Hill Plaza where computer servers are located, a source with knowledge of the investigation told The Post.

News 12 Hudson Valley, a local TV station operated by Altice, reported the FBI raid in New York’s Rockland County, including a confirmation from the agency that it had been at the office park called Blue Hill Plaza.

The business itself was raided by the FBI a few days ago:  https://nypost.com/2023/07/18/fbi-raids-embattled-wine-seller-sherry-lehmanns-nyc-store/

They were originally shut down by the NY liquor authority for selling liquor without a license:  https://nypost.com/2023/03/10/nyc-wine-icon-sherry-lehmann-shuts-down-after-cease-and-desist-order/
