We stumbled upon this tiny gem of a wine shop recently on our way to dinner. They have some really…read moregood picks ranging from low end to high end from many regions and varietals. They stagger the under $15 bottles in the middle of the shop and are strategically placed next to some more expensive bottles. However the descriptions are short funny and effective! Def eye catching. This time I picked up four bottles of wine from France, Italy and Portugal. All were very good. Staff is very approachable and friendly, always willing to help and make recommendations. Super chill and laid back. I love that they have wines from some smaller regions that the big shops don't usually hold inventory on. They have an excellent bubbly selection which I plan on checking out soon! I am usually a big red fan and there were plenty of those. I appreciated they had some bottles from duoro and also.a good variety of organic wines. Also their French and Italian selection was great! They have a loyalty program whicj keeps track of what you purchased and helps you accumulate points. Always love these small friendly well curated shops and plan on being back to try the rest of their offerings.

The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find what you need. Their curated selection is exceptional, featuring unique and hard-to-find options from various sources at great prices. What truly sets this shop apart is the staff's passion and their unpretentious approach. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and their personalized recommendations are always spot-on. The shop has a charming, local feel that makes every visit a pleasure. For a great selection of wine, reasonably priced, and service that feels like catching up with an old friend, look no further than this shop.

Higher priced than we can get elsewhere yet we were looking for a wine experience and conversation with someone very knowledgeable about their wines. We bought a case of some lovely wines from Piedmont, Bordeaux and South of France. Modern, clean design, elegant by way of wine store. They did not have any tastings available. The staff was busy yet friendly to help when we asked a question.

So worth visiting. Well done from start to finish. Great recommendations from the staff.read more

It's unlike other wine stores in the East Village. There aren't tiny aisles that make me afraid that I'll knock something over. They have a great selection of different types of wines. I've been trying to get more into orange wine and the person at the store was very patient with helping me select a good one! It was during check out when I noticed their many mixed cocktail options, which led to another 5-10 minutes of shopping around before I officially checked out. I ended up getting a White Russian with a label that has Big Lebowski on it .

Absolutely worth the visit.

I actually, bought the Junmai Ginjo Yumenokaori wine served best chilled. I'm not normally a Sake drinker and newly diabetic so being that Sake is mainly made of rice it breaks down into a starch. However, at only 55% , 15% alcohol content, 1.3 acidity, S. M. V +2, Semi-dry, it's not much alcohol & this wine can be paired w/ Oysters. Vinaigrette salads, pasta & pork terrine etc. Holidays are near so I may be keeping this one for the holidays to introduce non-sake drinkers to it. The reason I didn't give this place (5) stars is because the owner has a hifalutin demeanor. He's stand offish & If it weren't for his nice staff he'd make no money and he has good quality wines & spirits. Give it a try, I recommend it.

This brick and mortar business has good operating hours as they open late to accommodate customers who either work late or travel afar and yonder of lengthy commute times. My need and purpose of one small bottle of Japanese sake was not for consumption, but for Ching Ming Festival 清 明 節 worship to offer prayers, and libations before tombstones in memory of my beloved grandparents. I needed a metal screw cap bottle for easy opening access as I will be outdoors in a cemetery standing on traditional burial graves (not indoors of a mausoleum) without a wine bottle corkscrew opener. The staff is limited but able to heed my hope within my mind for my plight. Sake Hakutsuri Junmai Ginjo, 300 m - $7.99 Disappointingly there were no staff specifically from Minoru's Sake Shop offering tastings, providing guidance or lecture wearing traditional Japanese kimono robe as per their Yelp photos. There is no indication on their website of a tasting schedule or a flyer posted on the door either. The sales associate did not provide any explanation or description of Japanese sake polishing as mildly sweet or astringent and savory flavor, but the dude appears very apathetic and stolid without any sincere care for customer service. Selling the product with the intent to usher customers out in order to return to his phubbing rather than working appears to be the normal. This dude had no face mask as did not comply with CDC guideline COVID-19 policies. Utter dismay with poor customer service!

As someone who only drinks sour beer, I was extremely pleased with the options. There was even one on tap (Blue Raspberry)! Although I love that there was a sour on tap, I wasn't actually a big fan of this one (it looks green in the glass, which is mildly off-putting, and just wasn't in love with the flavor). However, there were several sours in cans, including one from my all-time favorite brewery (Hudson Valley). Although a bit expensive ($13 for a 16 oz can), this beer is normally on the expensive side. Most places don't carry it, so I was thrilled they do! SERVICE: The bartender was great. He gave recommendations for a good smoothie style sour and was overall just very friendly and nice. FOOD: We shared a pretzel and I enjoyed it. AMBIANCE: I liked it! Quite chill. You can bring your dog. OVERALL: Cool place, great vibes, amazing beer selection. Bring your friends!

Tables are first come, first served but you can call in advance to reserve if you're coming with a group and want to guarantee a seat. Most of the seating is high top bar stools, with a few regular tables. They have a nice selection of beers. My sister tried a raspberry cheesecake sour and enjoyed it. To eat, I had the vegan super dank dog. I was very excited about the plant-based option. The kim chi topping was delicious. It was flavorful and not overly pickled. The vegan sausage was a bit rubbery and artificial tasting. My sister got the enchie tots and felt the tater tots were too mushy. Trivia was very efficient. It was organized through the NYC Trivia League, but you can play even if you're not a member. There were six rounds, including a picture identification round and music round. The host was very no-nonsense and kept things moving in between rounds, which was great. It started at 7 and ended at 8:30. The bar tender was nice and attentive.
