The store has removed all of the things that made Joe Canal's a decent place to shop - including competitive pricing. Lastly, be sure to watch the price charged at the register - they've tried to overcharge me twice. There are definitely better liquor stores!

After 3 subsequent visits I am happy to report that I am a fan now. My initial post is accurate but…read moreafter pricing comparisons and very nice recommendations from a manager or owner perhaps, I can overlook the low lighting and less than modern decor. I've had the chance to browse the wine selection, and it is legit. Some close outs that I've tried in the under $10 range were very good, and mid range choices have been tasty too. They offer more expensive items as well, but I usually do not spend over $20 for a bottle unless it is a VERY special occasion. I was further impressed when I saw that they carry my favorite local winery, and at cheaper( pre-discounted) prices than are available there. The scotch section is better than other stores of this size, and items I buy elsewhere are a few $ cheaper here. They also carry a few very good lower priced single malts that I've not seen elsewhere. I recently grabbed a Deanston for about $21, it drinks like examples double the price. I'm not a frequent beer drinker so the limited selection does not impact me. I do enjoy Stella hard cider, again a few $ cheaper here than any other place I know of. Lastly just a note about customer service. On each visit I've seen the same gentleman at the register, he seems most knowledgeable of all the employees, and has given me some good advice. On my must recent visit I asked his opinion between 2 Pinot Noirs, one being $7 more. He steered me towards the cheaper, and it was a good pick. This is now my go to store unless I am hunting for a rarer beer or wine.

Also a cheese and snack section that was overlooked on this visit. I quickly was in the spirits section so looked at Scotches, some nice sale prices that I'll research in the future. In the tequila section I saw a unique mezcal and put it my cart right away. I didn't look at all the wines, just concentrated in Spain and Portugal, with the later having several nice options. Not the exact bottle I came in search of, but enough to find a substitute. I then turned my focus to beers. I think the selection was ok, not stellar. I didn't find anything new, but was happy to see offerings by some of the better local(NY, and Pa) breweries. I didn't leave empty handed. At the register the female cashier enrolled me in the bottle club, which immediately saved me $5 bucks! No email needed. A good experience all around and one that will bring me back here for more bottles, but maybe not cans......

What truly sets the shop apart is the team: the staff are warm, knowledgeable, and eager to guide you to the perfect pairing, whether you arrive with a detailed brief or just tonight's dinner menu. Laurent, the owner, leads by example. His genuine passion for wine and hospitality creates an inviting atmosphere where you never feel rushed or out of your depth. Talking with him is like getting a mini masterclass, and his recommendations consistently impress. The store doesn't always have every bottle back in stock, but you can always discover an equally exciting alternative for your meal or occasion. My only request is for the city to convert the permanent parking spots directly in front of the shop into a 5-10-minute loading zone reserved for Princeton Corkscrew customers.

A WINE SHOP THAT SELLS NO BAD WINE!…read more One of the mottos we wine drinkers have frequently heard is "Life is too short to drink bad wine!" This is the credo of the Princeton Corkscrew. This well researched and mindfully assembled "wine library" has best representatives of even the tiniest microclimate where wines of note are produced. The associates working beside the owner Laurent Chapuis are well-studied connaisseurs who can talk intelligently about every bottle in the shop. Before a new bottle is placed in the racks it has been tasted and discussed by members of the team. Laurent, himself, visits the winemakers and the terroirs to select only the best examples and best vintages for his shelves. Open tastings invite we consumers to meet the makers and taste their wines including vertical samplings which educate us. I've never visited a better educated shop than the Princeton Corkscrew. And I have never bought a wine that didn't live up to its portrayal. Good advice. Good information. Good pricing. GREAT WINE! Merci Laurent!

It's that simple and worthy of five easy stars.
