[do you remember in the old building when you felt like you were going to knock over wine on days you were wearing a puffy winter coat? just me?] The prices remain reasonable and the selection is steady, with seasonal offerings and new special flavors when it comes to liquor and a heck-of-a-lot of vino to choose from for a store in a small village like Sco-town. The staff is always happy to help with recommendations, which has especially come in handy for gift giving to those who prefer things I dispise. Gin, I'm looking at you. We, along with so many of our neighbors if you ask our recycling bins, are so grateful this spot remained flexible and open during all the regulations in 2020.

Not sad that it's an easy detour on my walking commute home from the office: hello, At-Home Happy Hour! I loved finding a combo of very-local CDNY cans + NYC & NE specialitys + a bit more variety from far away spots, too. I am especially impressed by how much cider Scotia Beverage stocks - more than the few other smaller-sized CDNY Beverage Centers I've visited, for sure; notable since they've been open only a few months. I was happy to fill the counter with sour beers to welcome in the warmer weather with a CHEERS! and a smile. Will be eager to visit again after we work our way through these selections.

In my procrastination ways, I didn't have time to special order a full sized bottle, and Englebardt's was out of stock - but they did have mini bottles of the vodka available which ended up made a great option for the gift basket we were building. Though he had plenty of unboxed bottles in the front of the store, the owner went into the back to find me an unopened, undamaged box of the minis to make a nice visual impact in the gift. The extra attention to detail went above and beyond for me; I've visited Englebardt's a few times since when picking up bottles for my own stock or hosting gifts, and will continue to visit when shopping in Schenectady in the future.
