I just got a note from Jessica Aptman, who is opening Blue Angel Wines in Williamsburg:

I wanted to pass along infomation regarding Blue Angel Wines – a new wine boutique based in Brooklyn with a strong focus on organic wines. “Blue Angel” is a German certification for products and services with environmentally friendly practices. I was hoping this might be of interest for Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn.

Blue Angel’s Chief Wine Buyer is Kym Apotas, who most recently served as a wine buyer for three years at Astor Wines and Spirits. As one of two wine buyers at Astor, Kym shared responsibility for stocking the store with more than 3,500 different wines and organizing more than $2 million in inventory. At Blue Angel, Kym has helped build the store’s organic-focused wine repertoire, featuring smaller distributors and producers, with her sharp palate and incomparable experience.

The latest addition to Grand Street’s booming culinary scene (including Huckleberry Bar, Wombat and Le Barricou), Blue Angel’s sophisticated yet earthy aesthetic was constructed using materials that are either recycled or eco-friendly. Additionally, the store has a great backyard that will later open for tastings. For those pressed for time but in need of wine, Blue Angel will deliver to their customers in the neighborhood.
