Collector: I want what’s wine

Let my vino go!

That’s the cry from the owner of an “irreplaceable” wine collection who is suing a Manhattan storage facility he claims has kept him from his vintage bottles since Hurricane Sandy struck.

Employees of WineCare Storage on West 28th Street have allegedly been withholding access to the $300,000 collection of real-estate bigwig Philip Waterman III, 46, since the superstorm flooded the facility.

“Until we start scanning wines to our cellar shelves, it is impossible to find the wine, much less to give accurate dates for release,” WineCare’s president, Derek Limbocker, wrote in a Dec. 26 e-mail to Waterman, the Manhattan Supreme Court suit states.

Waterman’s collection is described as “substantial, painstakingly assembled, and irreplaceable,” in the court papers. It includes 198 cases culled over 20 years.

Waterman declined to discuss the suit. WineCare did not return calls or e-mails for comment.
