This past Saturday, i went to Porchfest (a music event held annually in Olde Weathersfield, ct)…read morewhere owner Luigi Ciniglio participated in the festivities by offering all day wine tastings at his specialty natural & organic wine shop. I later discovered that they were sampling all different wines every hour! It's probably for the best that i found out when i did, or this might have turned into a full-on wine review page.. Vino Crudo is a wonderful little shop that I will be directing all of my friends & family to from this day forward. This is not a liquor store, it is a carefully curated specialty wine shoppe, that if you give a chance, will most definately deliver. They have masterfully selected a collection of natural & organic wines from all over. While It is true that the wines sold reflect the owners taste; they are skillfully chosen. I liked to think of the experience as a guided tour through the world organic wines, with an expertised advisor leading the way. I loved all of the samples owner Luigi offered, with not a bad one in the bunch. In fact, i was willing to purchase 2 of the 4 choices on the spot! I even contemplated purchasing a 3rd. See? I told you it was a good thing I didn't know about the revolving taste test or i would have surely bought more than I could carry. His palate; like mine prefers bold & aromatically fruity, but not sweet & ever so slightly dry, but not too dry. This shop is the only natural organic wine shop I am aware of that is not online, & their wine selection is carefully curated. The shop has a hearty online presence through FB, Instagram, Yelp, as well as many other wonderful write-ups & for good reason. I would 100% return and recommend this shop every chance I get. FYI: They offer regular free wine tastings every Friday. BONUS: They are hosting a Wine Class on Sept 6th 2025 (that's in 2 weeks) at Elm Ridge Park in Rocky Hill from 4 to 6. I felt this was definitely worth a mention. Hope to see you there!

I absolutely love this! I got to meet the owner Luigi who…read morewas very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! He gave me some suggestions and pairings for wines I could try and wines I could gift. I learned that Vino Crudo has recently opened and they carry specialty wines that are low intervention, natural wines. There is also a wine membership so definitely ask about that! They are located in Old Wethersfield and there's definitely lots of traffic here. I am so happy they opened this area. Can't wait to try what I got today!

CBM's not my usual spot, but it's always a fun stop. Beverages from near and far can all be found here, by the case, by the nip, by all manner of bottles. The back wall of this big box-sized package store is a refrigerated case, and aisle 1, as of January 2021, is being turned into a second wall of refrigeration. Woot! I haven't been disappointed by the wine recommendations occasionally tucked between price labels, including a recommendation for Sunset Meadow Vineyards. Chris helped me find a couple light but flavorful brews, and pointed them out in the cold case too. Alas, no more New Britain Bev Mart but at least this store, Middletown, and Wallingford are still around, and I think they've got it all.

There are three liquor stores in Longmeadow: Bottle Shop (near the MA/CT border), that one on…read moreLongmeadow Street, and this one. They all have their own motif: - Bottle Shop is the big store: it has a whole wine rack and everything. - the one on Longmeadow Street is the small one that is kind of bright and feels like the place you'd buy cheap stuff. - This one's the classy-looking wood paneled one, where you would think you would find microbrews. Sadly, the beer selection here isn't as vast as Bottle Shop (probably because of the size), but they do have a halfway decent selection, as well as a good selection of other wares (like liquor and wine). So if you're in the Williams Street area, it's a viable option to pick up a bottle or a 6 pack.

I am a regular customer at Four Seasons Wine and Liquors. The hired employees are very cordial and…read morehelpful. I have been shopping here since June 2020. I calculate that I spend at least $80.- $100.at this business. Today I was not offered a bag for my 3-pack of sparkling Lunetta wine. I grabbed the three-pack by the bottle top and whoa, the bottle pulled out of the usually hard to peel off cardboard container and the three-pack fell to the floor one and one of the bottles broke. The owner came out obviously displeases and scolded me for not holding the bottles from the bottom. I apologized and asked if I could replace the broken bottle with another one. The owner and the new employee said (not very nicely) "no" and that it was my fault. I am surprised that considering the competition in Longmeadow MA among the 3 package stores that he was so ungenerous. I told him that was not very nice to do to a regular customer (who in 9 months has never broken a bottle before). Thus I am transferring my business to The Bottle Shop Discount Liquors on Laurel St. in Longmeadow. They have a wider range of selection and charge about a dollar less for the little Lunetta 3-pack. It is a little bit further from where I live but I am pretty sure they would not blame the customer and would give me another 6-oz bottle to substitute. It is good business to do so.
