“They’re a piece of living history," D’Aiuto, who also owns the restaurant Levante, told the Post. "You can’t get these wines anywhere else in the world — I don’t care if you’re a billionaire, trillionaire or zillionaire. You can’t buy a John Gotti wine unless you come to my store and buy it."

The shop at 26-01 Jackson Ave. has already sold one Pétrus from the collection for $5,000, D’Aiuto told the Post.
