I live about forty five minutes away from this store so I cannot talk about the actual location but…read moreI use them online and I'll speak to that. They have probably the largest selection of wines I have seen on any website and their prices will usually beat every other location. I have looked into. For example a bottle of Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling is usually $10-13 a bottle. They have it for under $9. I ordered a case which was delivered two days later for like $12 which is still cheaper. Some more expensive wines might actually give you free shipping. Going back to the case I ordered. I realized three days later that sent me the "sweet" Riesling. Which is too sweet for me. I called they check my order and switched it out the next day GREAT customer service. I will be using them a lot more often since it is so convenient and just talking to them feels like they really care. One day I'm make the trip there ( when I have about $500 to spend ) to make it worth while.

However, I get personal service at Smith's. The recommendations have always been spot on and my absurd request special orders have come in on time or earlier than expected. Most things are competitively priced and gift packages (normal bottle price plus free items) are more plentiful there than most places. The place is much larger than it looks. There's lots of liquor but there's loads of wine. I wish I knew how to describe the wine selection, but I'm not even close to a wine connoisseur. Don't worry, they keep the fruit juice tasting stuff that I like way in the back past hundreds of other selections. If there's something you want, they probably have it. In the rare case that they don't have what you want, they can probably get it for you rather quickly. Parking is available just a few steps from the front door. If you want to head towards Albany after shopping, park on the side of the building for an easier turn down Central Ave.

This was particularly true of their selection of whiskies, some of which I'd not seen elsewhere. Since it's not a mega-store, they might not have every single item you'd want, but they certainly have all the important stuff covered. I didn't check out their wine selection this time, but I'll be sure to do that next time.

I was in the neighborhood and looking to pick up some hard cider, so I stopped in. After checking…read morewith the helpful cashier, I was directed to several shelves containing at least 15 different types (brands, flavors, and sizes) of hard cider. Some came home with me (raspberry hard cider, and my favorite Down East unfiltered) and some stayed on the shelf (pumpkin chai hard cider... um, no). Their prices seemed about the same as everyone else, but having it all conveniently grouped together was helpful. I will be back.

What really sets this place apart from other places though are the self serve wine tasting station where you can taste before you buy and the in store chilling machine. The self serve wine taste station usually has 4-5 bottles on tap and little cups for trying which really is a better way to go than picking the prettiest label like I usually do. Then, if you want your wine ice cold, drop it in the self chilling machine and in a mere seven minutes, ice cold baby. If you know a wine you want, just drop it in and then shop for news stuff for a few minutes and voila.

Me and my cousin couldn't buy our wine being over 55 years of age because he was inside of the store to begin with. I contacted multiple liquor stores and they have all told me the same thing. It's NOT the law. He lost about $100+ in sales. That means if a mom walks in with her 1 year old that she can't be sold because she has her kid with her. He also claimed to be a multi million dollar business but his whole back shelf was empty and wouldn't be in Albany New York in a small town if he was. Store was a ghost town til we came in Aswell. Strange behavior from someone who could've used the money. Lied about the law but what do I know, rude throughout the whole process so glad he didn't get my money. I went to another store and got my liquor for cheaper and had some respect when doing it. Not a surprise that the man who works here is specifically the one all the negative reviews are about. Store is rated a 2.3 as I'm writing this cause of his behavior. Keep acting the same and you won't be doing your business any favors getting yourself these reviews.

This store is gross. I asked someone in Empire Wine where I could buy beer (since they do not sell…read moreit) and he pointed here, presumably because it is close by. Upon walking in the store, I felt like I was sticking to the floor and it had the aroma of a recycling center. While they did have some nice craft selections, they are not well organized or marked. I felt really out of place as a woman shopping here. This seems like more of a store for college kids and hardcore 24 pack a weekend consumers. Also, while they have signs everywhere that they ID 100 percent of customers, the guy didn't ID me, so the false advertising made it seem a bit sketchy. 2 stars for the local craft selection and convenient location but the actual store is foul.

Second time here, not so great. The sales clerk was still…read morehelpful, but I definitely picked up a four pack of skunky beer. Partially my fault because the same four pack was on discount up front at the 40% of rack, but I paid full price honestly because I picked up my four pack from the aisle that should have been freshly stocked. I had faith that they weren't from the same order, but, I was mistaken. A properly functioning beer purveyor would have stocked all these outdated beers elsewhere .... But this one was a miss.

I was a regular at this store for seven years. I always stuck mostly to the new arrivals display across from the register (current seasonals are also on that rack). Though they have a great selection of products from around the world, it's rare you'll find stuff on the shelves that's fresh. In the case of Belgian quads, imperial stouts and the like that's okay, but other brews should be consumed ASAP. They have a "secret" rack of out of code bottles and cans at clearance prices behind the new arrivals display. It's easy to miss, but worth looking at. As for the rest of the store, their inventory and selection is great. The left side of the store has a huge walk in cooler of all the major macro suds. On the other side is another cooler with the major craft brands. They always have the best craft mini displays over there too. Growler selection is about a dozen taps, all reasonably priced. They often have penny growler sales too. The occasional in-store tastings by brewery reps are nice. So basically Westmere Beverage is a perfect beer store... Just about. My only compliant other than the old bottles on the shelves would be the parking. Guilderland gave them a sidewalk (which they didn't have a choice about) and that eliminated a bunch of convenient spots right in front of the store. Lousy bureaucrats.

On the right, you have some New York State wines, and you've also got Asian selections, including a large variety of Sake. On the left, you have your liquors, and these are competitively priced.
