Can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for Simply Wine! We learned about them when my husband accepted a delivery of a case of wine thinking I ordered it and when I saw it later I thought he ordered it - oops, neither of us had ordered it! I called the shop to explain the delivery mix-up and they promptly picked it up & gifted us a bottle of bubbly. The next time we were interested in buying wine, we went to the shop to check it out and well the rest is history as they've simply become our preferred store. The tastings are fun, the selection well curated, and the prices very reasonable. The points system is nice perk as it doesn't take forever to accrue a reward so can redeem easily. read more

This place was convent for a staycation downtown. All I had to do was say what flavors I wanted and all of a sudden I was walking out with two beautiful, delicious bottles of wine, and a mini, strong canned cocktail. I highly recommend this place for a knowledgeable staff and locally sourced gems. read more

I purchased a bottle of Noughty Thomson & Scott dealcoholized red wine here after visiting a few liquor stores in the downtown area looking for alcohol-free wines. This was the only liquor store that carried any dealcoholized wine at all. So apparently liquor stores are not allowed to sell anything without alcohol in it. That's so dumb because where else would we go get alcohol free wine? I don't see any in the supermarkets either. Wholefoods has some alcohol free beer and Tost (which is surprisingly good). I drank a glass of the Noughty and I do feel a little bit different but not as much as other wines. I am very sensitive to alcohol. The wine had a nice taste. I would welcome a bigger selection of dealcoholized options to bring to dinner parties so I could have a glass of red wine like everyone else. read more

Simply Wine is my favorite neighborhood wine shop - their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They have a nice wine selection too.. I've enjoyed all the wines I've gotten from here to date! They have wine tastings every Friday from 5-7pm which is a great way to try varieties you typically wouldn't. read more

Love this little wine store. They have a discount program so you get 10% off 3 bottles, plus earn points to get a credit. They have a nice selection, knowledgeable staff and it's a nice vibe inside! read more

Great shop! Pretty much all the wine was displayed at eye level with a placard in front of each one detailing its price, history, and flavor notes. The woman working was very helpful and nice; love that they have discounts and a points program. Definitely my fav neighborhood spot now :) read more

After a long day of travel, I wanted an organic or biodynamic wine, to just chill-ax & feel great the next day. If you're in to this kind of thing, you know it's just not only about the wine, but the experience....beautifully, simple, clean store & inviting customer service read more

Such a cute find! The pricing is amazing and the selection is very wide. I don't know much about wine so I was pleasantly surprised to find wines displayed and organized based off of the foods they pair with as well as the description cards with each bottle. This is my new go to spot! read more

On a whim, I popped into this place for a bottle of wine. Asking for a recommendation, seeking a light red with a hint of sweetness around the 15 dollar mark, I was offered this wine as the attendant said it was fruity with a smooth finish. I never had a better red. I savored it, gratefully, looking out from the roof top of a local hotel. The night couldn't be more perfect. read more

Simply Wine - A Pinot Noir, Oregon grown, a most delightful treat to end the day. Fruity, smooth end. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

Not the right opportune for a visit. Simply did not meet expectations to heed the hope within my mind. I had hoped for Dolcetto, black red Italian wine grape widely grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy known for its brilliant color against lighting and medium body. My second hope was Calera Jensen Reed, Pinot Noir (Mount Harlan, California) 2009. However, the result attained was Anita & Hans Nittnaus Blaufrankisch (Burgenland, Austria) 2015 for $19. This wine shop appeared to be manned by a two person staff: one man was engrossed with arts and crafts cutting small placards signage with a old fashion cutting board while a woman scrambled to assist me with great deficiencies in her customer service skills and utterly lacking wine knowledge. Abandoning customers to fend for yourself without asking "what type of wine are you interested, what country of origin, what is your budget limitation, texture level, oak finish or steel, level of dryness? etc." gives the appearance of an stolid, apathetic and extreme callous with shunning in the sense of customer service. Where is the fire? Customers are esteem guests/clients and should be attended to while in your shop regardless what tasks engrossed in. I had to read the placard next to the bottle to attain information on this Austrian wine as it was fend for yourself. The staff does not describe what food pairings compliment the wine nor explained the country of origin, appellation, level of dryness, year of age as quality wine sommeliers would take the time and effort to explain and advise. This Austrian wine that I purchased is CRAP. There is a Yelp mobile check-in offer but why return as already DISPIRITED? Look away, look away nothing but excessive dismay!! GIGO NOPE, not Simply So! How can wine connoisseurs refine your palate to taste, taste, taste? Swirl and sniff. Dispirited. read more

What a lovely find. Highly curated, widely varied, and reasonably priced selection with super helpful descriptions of every wine they carry. If I was local, this spot would be a favorite. read more

Great spot! I appreciate the descriptions of each wine, recommended cuisine to pair, and transparency about pricing. All whites are available chilled, which is really nice - especially when you have to grab a bottle last minute because your family made a surprise visit. I actually appreciate the smaller inventory; it is not too overwhelming and they have a ton of lesser known varietals that I never would have tried. Bonus, the staff seems passionate and knowledgeable. They are really helpful when picking out the best wine to impress your partner's family :). I look forward to many repeat visits! read more

Little hole in the wall wine shop (watch your head walking in if you're tall) down in FiDi. If you're rushing home and need a bottle, this is the go-to spot. While I have a wine store on my block up on UES, it doesn't have nearly the eclectic selection this place does. It's chock full of smaller, more independent labels. None of which I recognized... So it's useful to get a reco from the uber helpful staff. Also, Friday 5pm wine tastings... BANGIN! read more

I love the collection of their wines. They have displayed all of the wines according to the meals and the staff is super friendly. They will help you with what you want exactly. Good spot in the neighborhood. read more

Simply Wine delivers to your door within one hour (with orders after 4pm). Whenever we receive a Simply Wine delivery, it's happy times. This last delivery, honestly felt like I clicked on the PURCHSE button and the next minute our doorbell was ringing with our order. Ridiculously fast. Simply amazing. The interface is easy to use. read more

We stumbled on this place our last night in the hotel around the corner and it was a great find! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they had a great selection of wines at a very reasonable price! Cannot say enough great things about this place read more

Is there anything better than bringing a bottle of wine to a party and having everyone tell you its crazy delicious? Purchasing it in this little gem of a store made it easy to be a party hero. Great customer service. Great selection, if you become a member you get a $20 credit after $200 in purchases. Def going back to stock up on that Lambrusco! read more

Love this neighborhood gem - they always came to my rescue when i "surprisingly" ran out of wine the last minute ! Store is small so selection are well curated. And it is all under $25 - very good value for the quality, if you are a serious wine drinker like myself, you know what I mean. They deliver as well! So party hosts, you are covered. read more

Oh, Simply Wine, how I love thee - let me count the ways: - The rewards program is lovely, considering the lush I am, and I am always excited to receive the voucher email. - In fact, speaking of the digital purchasing experience, it is top notch. Not only is every bottle available through the store interface along with profile and our loyalty status, but there is an intermediate stage between purchase and charge in case they are out of anything. - The owner cares deeply about their customers. Once, online, I was trying a new red because I was in a fall mood. I purchased one that it turns out wasn't toward my usual taste, so they sent two of that variety with the second being toward what I usually drink. - Finally, I love all of the tastings. The emails they send out are filled with local distilleries and vineyards and wine experts regularly coming in to educate the public on buying local and organic. My only con is that they stopped carrying Gertrude red blend - one of these days I am going to launch a public petition to get it back. But overall, I cannot recommend this place enough, especially to my neighbors in FiDi. read more

If you're in the neighborhood, definitely check out this wine shop! The store was brightly lit and filled with a selection of unique and delicious wines. All the bottles were placed around the perimeter of the store like a fine boutique and labeled with information about the wine and geographic origin. All wines were well priced and best of all...I received $5 off for checking in on my Yelp App! read more

Great neighborhood winery. They also sell spirits they make themselves (had free samples when i went in at 6pm and it was amazing.) Went in to get a wine for a friend's birthday with very little idea of what I wanted other than red. They were super friendly and pointed me to an absolutely delicious wine at a very reasonable price. The store is laid out so you can easily see what wines go with different things such as nuts, fish or cheese. Also, it's the small things but the bag they give you with the wine looks very elegant. Just FYI, there's a $5 off promotion if you check-in on yelp. read more

There is a reason why this place has a perfect 5 star rating on Yelp! You are not being fooled and look no further if you are looking for a neighborhood wine shop. I recently moved to the area and I am only a little ashamed to admit that my first yelp search once I locked down an apartment was for a wine shop. This was number 1 on the list so off I went to check it out. You have to step down into a little basement area (watch your head and step!) to enter the store and mind you, it is quaint and very minimalistic (this was actually what I loved about it first). It doesn't overwhelm you with overflowing shelves of bottles and bottles of wine. Secondly, each wine has a place card in front of it describing the taste, origin, potential pairings and price. I thought this was ingenious! The worker was also super helpful in making recommendations and I was in and out with one red and one white within a matter of minutes. I loved the white he recommended based on my taste buds and preferences. Haven't tried the red yet but I'm sure I'll love it. So happy to have found this place and I will most definitely be a regular! Oh yeah, most bottles if not all are under 25$ and you also get 5$ off with a check-in on Yelp! Spend 200$ and you get 20$ off as well! Go check it out!!! read more

What can I say -Simply The Best! - Cozy place with friendly people. Every $200 that you spend you get $20 gift certificate. If you do not like wine you purchased you can exchange it no questions asked. They also have cool wine bags so no need to buy paper gift bag!!! Thanks Magda read more

Pretty decent spot. Had a bad experience at a liquor store around the corner, and came here. Breath of fresh air.

From out-of-town and found this little shop in FiDi -- loved trying different wines based on recommendations from owners

A cute little store that delivers to where I live and that has tastings every Friday. The staff curates the wines from many different countries by taste and the food to accompany the wine. There is a good selection of organic wines as well. If you live in the neighborhood and find yourself coming back, the place has a program where you receive discounts. read more

I walked to this wine store after arriving from DC on a business trip. The service was very good and the wine was tasty. I will return again when I in the FinDistrict and want a bottle of wine to enjoy in my hotel room after work when I'm on the road. read more

Unpretentious, affordable, unintimidating, friendly, with a good enough selection of wine perfect for regular, simple drinking. What more to ask for from a wine shop? read more

Absolutely love this place. They have a good selection but not so many that you are overwhelmed by choices. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and makes good recommendations. Very easy to stop by after work to grab a bottle for dinner. read more

FiDi FIND! Wonderfully curated selection mostly between $11 and $18, with a few choices straying up to $26 or so. Great descriptions of each wine, and the staff can usefully elaborate on all of them (big up to Corey). You'll find none of the usual suspects here, but all the pleasant surprises will make you want to come back for more adventures. On top of that, their website is very clean and easy to use, and THEY DELIVER. Simply Wine is an ideal wine-buying experience. read more

Best FiDi wine shop hands down. Just watch your head walking in (low ceiling) and then you're in the best organized by palette with wonderful selected wines and liquors by variety instead of country origin. Excellent & experienced staff will help pick the perfect wine pairing. read more

This place lives up to its name. Shopping for wine can be a time consuming, overwhelming decision-making activity. Not here. It's easy and delightful. The clean layout, descriptive labels, and helpful staff will guarantee that you will not leave the shop without a terrific selection in hand, and you will not break the bank either. Most bottles are under $25. They always have a fun tasting going on in the evenings, and you are very likely to discover something unexpected or unusual to try. The wines rotate so you'll never find the same ol' thing here. read more

Helpful when you visit the store, helpful when you order from home! Great wine selection that is organized to help anyone find what they're looking for (even if they don't know). Did I mention they deliver?? I wish they were on Seamless. read more

Great neighborhood wine shop. They have a great selection, with a super helpful staff! Love that they deliver.

an amazing array of choices, modern and warm layout/environment, super clean, and a knowledgable staff. plus: they deliver! seriously love this place. read more

I live in the neighborhood, so I'm biased...but this wine store has it all: delicious wines from many regions, organized in an approachable way, all under $25 (!), + knowledgable & friendly people to guide your selections. Honestly, whether you're buying a table wine for home, or a wine to bring to a host, you will be pleased with your experience here. And they deliver! read more

Visiting from CA for a couple days and while it was a bit of a search (small signs) to find it, I was glad I made the short trek from my hotel and asked around. Great selection, knowledgeable staff. Some really great choices - wish I could have selected more than one. I appreciated the feel of the space and display of the wine along w/ descriptions. Very reasonable prices and nice selections. Note to locals: Go! read more

It's what your looking for..bottles of wine under 25, no delivery fee. Trendy store front and modern systems. Also has a solid bourbon collection. read more

There are liquor stores closer to our address but the app these guys have makes ordering from simply wine a no-brainer. Super fast and super friendly. Have made recommendations for us in the past and they have never steered is wrong. Once we ordered a bottle of wine that turned out to be out of stock. They called us immediately and offered an alternative. Although it was pricier than what we ordered, they gave us the new (and way better!) bottle at the same price. I highly recommend simply wine to my fellow downtowners!! read more

I rarely give 5 starts, but in this case, it is well deserved. Very approachable store. Small but well chosen selection of wines - many options at the price point I wanted, Friendly, personalized advice. read more
