I had found a specific wine bottle I was looking for here via a GOOGLE search. The wine wasn't as expensive as I had seen in other stores. Great location between Herald Square and Times Square.

I work by this wine shop and I've definitely bought many last minute bottles of wine from this…read morestore. It's over priced as you would expect from the proximity to Times Square. For a bottle of wine $20 or under it's fine. Once I had a last minute birthday request from my husband for "a little bottle of Johnny Walker Blue". I definitely paid the sucker price for the last minute request, and I know where to get is in Brooklyn for a lot cheaper. But since I was in that predicament, I opted to get the special Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon bottle for $20 extra... which is a work of art and absolutely made my husband's night and he will be talking about for years and years. They do have some special and rare bottles that make for great gifts, but if you have more time to do your research even the rare bottles can be found elsewhere where for significantly cheaper. Oh well, it is what it is. Say, that bottle did not last through the night but at least it was genuinely appreciated with good friends. This liquor store is better than others in the neighborhood, I am glad that they exist.

Save yourself and walk two blocks up the street where the people have some decency (and a bigger selection). If this saves one person from having to deal with the worst vendors in NYC, it will have been worth it. 0 stars.

Okay, don't be an idiot like me. You can actually go in behind the glass! Growing up in Brooklyn,…read moreI've grown too accustomed to buying liquor through bulletproof glass. But actually, they have a much bigger wine selection in the back (except all the whites are already on display outside in the cases). Not a big store, but they have a refrigerator in the back, and the selection isn't bad. Tons of wines in every price range. If they still have the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, get it! It's delicious and cheap.

The owner, Kelly, is super knowledgeable and really good at giving recommendations based on your taste instead of just trying to sell you something random.

Overall just a really friendly spot whether you already know a lot about wine or are still figuring out what you like.

They have 2 wine fridges (one double door and 1 single door) as well as an open fridge near the cash registers. Had decent selection of cans and box wines. The set up was extremely similar to the other Licquor stores I visited in the 2 block area (Herald Square Spirits and epic liquor). I really think it is the same owner bc 1. Set up exactly the same (wall to wall wine in same wooden shelves. 2. Prices and even the Price label is the same and 3. Selection is exactly the same 4. Same marroon sign. Yes they are more expensive than everywhere else. In queens lagavulin 16 is 70. In nyc its 80 ish. Here ita 100+. If you have issue is pricing then I suggest going to outer boroughs. Convenience = more money and I wont take off stars bc they have to pay rent.

Even though I moved uptown, I still order online from ESOW with a high level of frequency because the finds are unique. ESOW introduced me to Nicolas Maillart, one of my favorite champagnes now, at a price point under $40 - they were directly importing it, today because Kermit Lynch is importing it and not Eddy the wine is over $70 everywhere! This wine shop will introduce you to wines that you won't be able to stop talking about, won't be able to stop buying, and most importantly will love drinking with every occasion. Make sure you sign up for the e-mail list as there are some stellar deals in there, especially on wines you aren't going to be able to get anywhere else in the country because they've been directly imported by the man himself: Eddy!

(no, not talking about addiction!) I am not intimidating looking - but today- not sure if it was hit or miss with a staff person- they were so afraid of me going up close to look at the wine. What! I aint gonna steal and I couldnt see some of the tiny fonts on the labels. Meanwhile-- I still bought some items, but just felt like a bit inconvenienced having to be held back for looking closely. Hopefully management gets to read this and tell workers to ease up. I know in this economy, all precautions are needed- totally get that! Just we need to assess at times, and believe most people are good and are not malicious- especially short petite thin females with pink sneakers! It is still a good spot, though!
