As the owner of Yorkville’s Vintage Conservatory, Constantine Patiniotis has a deep knowledge of fine wines and a nuanced understanding of the ideal environment in which to imbibe. Vintage Conservatory is a private wine storage club offering secure accommodation for members’ collections in temperature-controlled lockers, and a beautiful lounge in which to dine and entertain, minus the markups and corkage fees, among its many other benefits. The charm of such an arrangement is evident: pouring wines from one’s own collection in an elegant venue adds a personal touch to any gathering with friends, business partners or clients. “We really try to elevate the quality of our members’ entertaining lifestyle by curating planned events and helping them enjoy their wines,” says Patiniotis of Vintage Conservatory’s mission.
