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 A properly functioning beer purveyor would have stocked all these outdated beers elsewhere ....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.

The selection is almost as good overall, and better when you take into consideration all of the New York State beers available, especially upstate (I had no idea there were so many new breweries in the Glens Falls area, for example). It's very well organized as well. Whenever my beer-enjoying friends are in the area, this is a must-stop.

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.

Maybe I came on a bad day, but there were boxes everywhere and it looked disheveled. If they had a organization system I didn't quite catch it. I found ciders here and there in the store, not grouped together. Since I am not a beer connoisseur, I couldn't say if their selection was good or even organized. I have been to other beverage centers in the area so I know what is "normal" and what is "a hurricane just went through here." I saw a lot of cool ciders and picked some up, as well as a case of sparkling water. There was a half-full (or half-empty?) cup of beer on one shelf, which I assume was leftover from a tasting event they ran two days ago. I saw one employee several times walking around and stocking. He never said a word to me when I came in, never asked if I needed help, or didn't thank me for stopping by. His only word was "yup" when I preemptively set out my ID. Maybe I came on a bad day, or maybe it is normal for this place. I dunno, but there are better options that I enjoy more so I doubt I will be back.

Always the best selection. People are nice and really good prices. They also let you buy single…read morecans instead of a full four pack.

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.

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.
