"Best wine shop in the area"
"I've bought from this store for the convenience given that I live a block away"
"Beware of this place as they double charge! I purchased a bottle and the charge went through and instantly the owner said that they didn’t accept that payment and made me pay twice! A very awkward situation where the owner was determined that my first payment method didn’t work"
"The older Asian man behind the counter should wear a Klan hood at work"
"I took a chilled Gavi out of the refrigerator and handed it to the man at the register"
Best wine shop in the area. Tons of California gems, 4-5 different sancerres in a range of prices. Not rude at all, always greet me when I walk in, and recognize me even though I just come like 2 a month. Smiling guy at front, knowledgeable man at counter. Other nearby shops will dote on you for sure, but this one has the goods.
I've bought from this store for the convenience given that I live a block away. But staff is ridiculously rude. Shouted at me for checking out a wine rating online on my phone! Rather support people who care about their customers, especially the regulars. Not surprised to see here that my experience is not unique.

The older Asian man behind the counter should wear a Klan hood at work. He will judge you by your skin color. There is a better store "67 wine and spirits," and its literally 2 blocks south on Columbus ave. Larger selection, better prices, and decent human beings working there.
I took a chilled Gavi out of the refrigerator and handed it to the man at the register. He scraped the price off, put the wine in a plastic bag, and handed it back to me. When I got home, I had an unchilled wine from New Zealand. Since I live a mile away, yes, that's annoying.
How disappointing! I walk over there in the chilly drizzle of the afternoon, in a rush to buy a bottle of wine, and the store is closed. It was 5:30pm on a Monday! As per Google maps it's supposed to close at 9pm. So, the owner better update those hours here in GMaps.
Miserable man who runs this place told me to hurry up and pick my wine. Not in the slightest bit helpful. So now another wine merchant with manners and an inkling of what customer service actually is will get my business instead a.k.a 67 Wine & Spirits
Unpleasant customer service experience. The salesman, who looks like a business owner, asked us to leave if we didn't know what wine we wanted to buy. He explained that the store was closed, but it was 8:45 pm and the store supposed to be open until 9
Good service, open late compared to other shops in the area. Some people complain about the customer service. I think people are confusing being reserved, as lack of customer service. I personally prefer when people are not pushy, and only
Great curation of moderately priced Italian wines. The owner is laconic (doesn't say much) but after direct inquiry admitted to having been in the business for 40 years. Hours of operation are great! There are other good wine stores in the
This is a smaller wine store with a more reserved "customer service". Meaning, the staff won't bother you one bit, but help is available if you ask. It's not true that they're grumpy or miserable; in fact lately I've gotten more "hellos"
Spent $350 with my DEBIT card and the clerk decided that it was necessary for me to show my drivers license. He had the nerve to record my driver ID number. The customer before me (older Caucasian woman) used a credit card and the clerk
Horrible customer service. The staff there is just so cranky and was not willing to help deciding which wine was better and was continuously giving attitude and to top it off was hesitating to receive credit card payment! Go to another
We've been buying wine here for the past 3 years. Michael (owner) really knows his stuff. Do yourself a favor and let him guide you through the buying experience (which is brief). Know your price point (give or take) and varietal of
Absolutely terrible negative energy at this store...Really upsetting and disappointing. The moment I walked in, the two employees started rushing me and ruined my experience of picking out wines in peace and enjoying that. Rude and
I was literally kicked out while checking prices. The man, who I believe to be the owner, asked me what do I want to do? And said he has things to do and asked me to leave in a really rude way. Interesting.
Great wine selection at this store, but the liquor selection is very small. The staff are friendly and helpful, though. Pricing is about average for NY, but this is a great convenient location.
Incredible store with many rare and well priced gems. Owner (Michael) is always so knowledgeable and helpful. He really knows wine. My favorite wine store on UWS
Over priced for their small selection. Customer service is non-existent but they will rush you if you don’t know exactly what you came for.
Everyone here are super helpful, knowledgeable and very kind and willing to help. Cute little wine shop on the UWS. Love you guys! xo
For a liquor store so close to the park, they had a shockingly small selection of screw top whites and rosés. Also very overpriced.
The owner doesn’t say much, but his wine recommendations rarely steer me wrong and this place has good selection.
People were helpful and I went in and I was out in 5 minutes after looking around. Cool place with two floors.
Good wine selection. The liquor selection is definitely second to wine here. Not many liquor options.
I love this wine shop. One of the best in the upper west side. Fair prices and solid selection.
Never had a bad experience here in 2+ years. The owner is reserved/quiet. Reasonable prices.
So I walk in right and I’m 21 with id and the dude still didn’t give me the alcohol I wanted
Wine selection is great but bought a bottle of Limerick Lane Zin and it was corked, $40!
I love this wine shop! great selections and quality!
Lovely experience. Helped me find a nice wine.
