I don't often review liquor stores...but when I do Englewood Wine Merchants is top of my list! I stumbled on this establishment while working locally for a few days. The location is iconic. Upon stepping inside the striking redbrick corner building, it oozes confidence with a finely curated selection of wines & liquors from around the world. Despite the seasonal chaos of a Santa-sized delivery schedule, the sheer number of holidays orders being prepped to make 1000s happy this Christmas is a testament that Englewood Wine Merchants is a cherished curator of cheer. I was looking for a Basque wine, Txakolina, difficult to find among the usual pinots, chardonnays & sauv blancs in a typical store. Neil was familiar with & sourced a case in jig time, making sure I knew how to pour it correctly (from a great height a la the northern Spanish territory from which it hails!). But what I loved more than anything was his effervescent character that outshone the gentle natural fizz this wine possesses. Despite living in Brooklyn I would happily make the 1+ hour trek to New Jersey just for a short conversation...and to pick up a few bottles of course! Don't pass it by!

Neil's responsiveness to my issue was excellent. The wine I ordered with expedited shipping, was missing-in-action for over two weeks. Not good! But kudos to Neil for the sense-of-urgency he demonstrated when it was clear there was a problem. Englewood doesn't control all the variables in the shipping process, but their response to the issue is what gets them this 5 star review. I'm not happy about the "lost" wine, but I am very pleased with Englewood's response.

Englewood Wine Merchants' entire collection, from wine to rare spirits, is exceptional, and the staff is both knowledgeable and friendly.

Fantastic selection of wine and spirits. I was helped by someone new to the shop, Neil Weinstock. He's spent the last 25 years running big stores in Manhattan and was very knowledgeable. He helped me pick out the perfect wine to pair with my dinner!

My experience at EWM was amazing! Neil helped me find the best wine and spirits that worked for my budget and everything tasted amazing! I will for sure be shopping at EWM again, make sure you ask for Neil!

New guy named Neil Weinstock helped me out, had great conversation as well. He’s managed stores in Manhattan for over 25 years, and it shows. Pleasure to deal with somebody who clearly knows what they are doing.

I had an excellent experience. Neil was able to direct me to several new wines in the style I like and answered all my questions. Prices aren’t bargain rate BUT when you consider the area, the sales person expertise and the beautiful decor it’s worth a little more. Outstanding 1/2 bottle selection.

Prices for wine are professional, well-stocked, simple, and excellent. Whatever you're looking for, they've got it. The bosses were also extremely helpful and friendly. I adore the location. It was extremely well-organized and spacious. They had a sizable wine collection from which to choose. I can't wait to go back to this wine shop.

By far the best place for wines in town - both for sampling and drinking! And it is doubtful that you will leave without a bottle or two. The staff are also very professional and helpful. Plus you could watch the wine being bottled! I will surely come back to my next trip, and I highly recommend this wine shop!

Everyone already knows about the amazing selection and prices, but did you know that the employees at this wine shop are helpful with wine selection, not just restocking the bottles? On multiple occasions, I've asked for help from employees, and they've always been very cheerful. They immediately have wine recommendations, sometimes asking you what you intend to use it for. I strongly recommend this place!

I ordered a Pol Roger Brut Rose 2009 online for a delivery. They charge to deliver to my town, so I changed the delivery address to my friend's house in Fort Lee. When I picked up, a wrong bottle was delivered, 2012 Pol Roger Champagne. I called and they apologized for the mistake and they would redeliver the correct one and pick up the other. As I said, the champagne was with me not in Fort Lee. So I went to exchange myself during my daytime work hours. The store only opens 10am-6pm. I understand people make mistakes and I was little upset but not crazy mad. Then, when I went to exchange, there were 2 young men in the store but one guy just tossed me the correct bottle without saying a word. No apologies, no a word of thank you, nothing. What a customer service! Even if you're on the phone with another customer, you couldn't say a word to the customer who came all the way to the store? I wasn't expecting anything but a word of sorry. This store may carry one of the nicest selection of wines but not the best customer service.
