Today is Thanksgiving so I bought another box yesterday seeing that I was not expecting more guests. I hope everyone boycotts this establishment due to their unprofessionalism.

If you are shopping for wine, THIS is the best shop in the area. The owner is a very knowledgeable…read morewine connoisseur, whose expertise can help you select the perfect bottle. When the owner is not present, an elegant young man runs the store with an extensive amount of knowledge of wines, well versed on the regions & types of grapes, who can spurt off a quick summary of each wine, and help you choose something perfectly specific to what you like. I have gone into this shop, and wirh very little info from me about what I'm lokking for, both individuals helped me to select wines that became my favorites. Both assist shoppers with a friendly, easy going tone, while being so thoroughly educated , that it makes picking up a bottle, a nice, no pressure, easy experience. They have excellent excellent wines that are low price point, along with mid price point, as well as some of the finest most high end wines. Currently I'm enjoying an affordable bottle of cotes du Rhone that I never would have chosen without the help of the gentlemen working at the store. In addition to wines, the store has all the spirits you may need , minus the gross , hangover inducing, and college party worthy liquors that would ruin the classy aesthetic of this wonderful shop. Basically, the offerings of this store fit w the vibe that the interior and the owner have created, a CURATED selection of what you want to be drinking this evening, or bringing to your next dinner w friends. When I step in this store, I'm not stepping into some generic big box liquour store and wanting to grab and go because the store & experience of wine/alcoholic shopping feels "ick"... rather, I'm stepping into a classic asthetic of historical wooden shelving, beautiful bottles, and I feel like I could be in France, or Italy, last but not least, the owner and his gentleman staff member respect and love wine, and you want to support a privately owned business like that when you are buying wine. There's a review that says locals don't like this shop?I grew up here and live less than a mile away, and as a local, I'm so grateful and lucky that there is a REAL wine & liquors store in my town! A real wine store run by a wonderful wondeful human who KNOWS not only about wines, but also knows so much about the best spirits. The "local" who wrote that negative review, maybe they were just mad that this shop doesn't sell fireball or wine coolers. Lol.

Very good service and felt confident in the wine selection/curation by the owner. Not sure about…read morethe couple negative reviews. We thought the owner was super welcoming, kind, and helpful. We will be back!

Saturday Wine tastings!!!!…read more Because my boyfriend and I were at Catskills Mountain for a weekend getaway trip we decided to visit Woodstock's cute little downtown area. As we walked down, we noticed their wine tasting sign and since we were already on the hunt for some wine this place was perfect. We had the chance to try a variety of white and red wines with a pairing of crackers and cheese (huge plus!) My boyfriend and I were most certainly impressed by their huge organic wine selection. There were so many options from different brands I've never even heard of and I've only been drinking Fray for the past year LOL. I truly appreciated the fact that this place took into consideration those who enjoy organic wine over the regular wine. I wish I had a liquor store near home that provided such a huge selection! I would definitely recommend this place especially for its wine tastings on Saturday!!

Yesterday, I had the worst day, Ever! Plz don't ask. I decided it was an expensive tequila day…read more Like I can do a whole lot of damage with that anymore lol. I think I need to date myself tho lol. I'm a very cheap date now. Shh, don't tell anyone plz lol. 3 sips of my expensive tequila & it was suddenly today. Yay! I tried calling a few Liquor Stores, before speaking with Terrence at Merchant Wines & failed miserably. Terrence is a new hero to me now! Honestly, I've tried moving a pic to here. Nope. Part of my crap leftover mood, from past few weeks! Terrence didn't have any problems with me asking him questions about the tequila he had available or Knew about, nor about the Tequila I was looking for. He even Knew about the Mescal I was looking for! It's never available in States! Holy you know what here! WoW! He had none of the Mescal, but spoke with me at length about the Tequila he had. I told him my spending range & he told me what he had & Could Deliver To Me Too! WoW! What a difference A Phone Call makes!!! To a different Store! Add Terrence, et voila! Magic happens! I settled on expensive-expensive Tequila, written twice on purpose here lol. It is, but damnnn is it delish! It arrived within the hour. About 20 years ago I quit drinking. Couldn't stand taste or smells of alcohol! Alcohol is empty calories, just like fake foods. So, I just quit drinking. Wasn't hard, just smelling it on others. Yuck. Sorry. In other words, this was my 1st alcohol in 20 years. Yup. Now do you understand why 3 sips?! But, I did drink outta bottle like a pirate! Fun. Terrence went to trouble of explaining the distillation process of tequila, I was now panting for, to me. Guess he couldn't hear me panting lol. He was not only Professional, he was Kind & Patient! Funny too. I was cussing like a sailor yesterday! I took my fowl (lol foul, I know! Ok?!) language muzzle off! He just said, "Not a problem!" Each time, I apologized for my language muzzle being off completely! A gentleman too! Holy moly-diff word wants out badly now! Nope! I'm serious! He couldn't have been more perfect if he'd tried! Not kidding here! He "warned" me, about how the tequila was processed to be clear. He explained that it might have lost some of its earthy flavors in this process. While I may not have been drinking, doesn't mean I haven't been keeping abreast of Industry! Well, not just abreast lol. Nevermind me plz! Nope! I even called him back after 1st sip & told him it was soo good. Yumm I'd completely forgotten how absolutely lovely numb can feel. Especially for a few minutes! I love being Alive, but, please forgive my language here-You were warned! Life ain't for puzies! I guess unless you're a cat. Pbtt. Numb is ok, if done under my unblinking eyes lol. Well, for me anyway! Terrence man, You saved me yesterday! Thank You Sir! I am indebted to you now. Thank you for your kindness, your time, your efforts & the absolutely perfect tequila yesterday! Thank You Every Day Sir, for your Respectful Kindness towards me, when I was literally falling apart Sir! It's Your Treatment Of Me I Shall Never Ever Forget! Not to mention any future sips of Excellent Tequila I drink. Holy Yumm! Infinite Thanks Terrence! Jolie xx & gratitude

Aghhh......Guy I just spoke with around noon today, sorry if you're not the Owner! Ummm…read moreI've had the worst 2&1/2-3 weeks. It was time to step out of my normal. A old, smooth tequila mood bit me. I called the Liquor Store Twice, as their phone was not answered on my first (1st) phone call. I didn't see Tequila's Listed on their Delivery "Menu", which was why I called. I'm expecting to spend around $200.00 USD at least. I'll probably have 1 or 2 small drinks & be quite wasted. Stoned. Tipsy. Whatever. The man who answered the phone was inconvenienced at my, "Hello." I am polite & remain respectful until respect is not given to me. I was below him in his responses. Yuck! When I asked if he had any older tequila, he said, "Yes." Umm, "How old from to please?" "I Don't Have Time to Tell You About Tequila's. Come Look!" Aghhh "Ummm sir, my question seems to have annoyed you. I'm sorry sir. I appreciate your time. Have a nice day." He'd already hung up. Bad day for him too maybe?.......... I'm so not at my best. Apologies I really don't like doing this...... sorry Liquor Store.
