“Oct. 2020. Good service, good selection of liquor and wine. I've been going to Four J's for over 15 years. I often buy a case of inexpensive wine, and they always automatically give a 10% discount. They're very honest. Their prices are often slightly cheaper than nearby liquor stores. They answer their phone and can tell you what they have in stock, or will order for you.”
“Lucky to have this place near by. Owner is super friendly and helpful if you need to make a wine choice. Order online most of the time but stop in from time to time. Reasonable pricing and great service has me coming back.”
“An absolute gem hidden in the heart of Chauncy square. What makes this my go to liquor store is the knowledge, professionalism, and friendliness of the owners. They are always recommending bottles that seem adventurous to the palette but are worth taking the risk!! I learn something new each time I go in whether it be about the wine, vineyard, grape etc. Go check them out!! You won't be disappointed!”
“I have enjoyed buying wines from Daniel Posner/Grapes for 20+ years. While I definitely do not agree with all of his recommendations, his wine knowledge is encyclopedic; more importantly, his wine prices are very competitive. If you can survive his delusional writing about the Jets during football season and just pay attention to his deals, you will be as satisfied as I have been. Really should be 4.7 Stars but that's not an option.”
“The best - they continue to provide excellent value and are always very helpful. Trust in them for recommendations - I've been coming to them for years and they always exceed my expectations - excellent bang for the buck!”
“Since moving to New York, Half Time has been my go to store for online and in person shopping. They have a great selection of local gems (Mortalis mixed packs and fresh Marlowe ?). Most things are available as singles for those that like to explore different styles. Prices are generally pretty reasonable based on the market and are often running promotions online. For those looking for variety, I would definitely recommend. Cheers!”
“Wife and I stop by to get our favorite wine when we are in the area, the owners are very friendly and always have a smile. The place very clean and organized. Always something new to try. Definitely recommend!”
“Best place, owner and his staff are so friendly....even though I'm a Buffalo Bills fan! They treat you so nice....can't recommend them enough!!!?♥️”

“i highly recommend giving this spot a visit. I went in confused and lost, but i left an enlightened man. laconia liquors got that juice. it has everything i needed to get on one and so much more. I saw whiskeys i had never seen before, wines and rums from the furthest corners of the globe, all with the convenience of being close by (and they deliver???). this is not only a community service, but a (spirit)ual one. Its run by a day 1 BX family, you couldn't support a more deserving local business.”
“The owner knows every detail about every bottle of gin in the store and generously offered a tasting of any of those she had open. There's also a friendly dog who greeted us at the door and magnet tiles to keep the kids busy while you browse”
“this is my first visit to Gary’s. I loved the depth and breadth of their wine inventory. I really like South African wines and many wine shops either do not carry them at all, and if they do, have a very limited selection. Gary has a nice selection of South African wines as well as Italian wines, with the Italian wines featuring a lot of regions that most other wine shops do not. Kudos to Gary’s! Oh, and by the way, their wines are priced very fairly .”
“I rarely write up a review, but it is needed here. They offer such an amazing selection of wine producers with very difficult to come by vintages and they actively restock their collection. I have purchased here many many times, the condition of the bottles are always in such superb condition even considering the 20-30-40+ year old bottles. The customer service is always on point and their pick up turn around times are very reasonable, considering they have the store front and the collection is held in temperature controlled storage facility nearby. Truly a gem of a place and it will continue to be one of my go to's for particular wines to add to the cellar. Great place of business definitely one of the best and most reputable in the area that is for sure!”

“All the fuss about the Dubai
Chocolate. It's a pistachio ice cream with a chocolate coating and micro crunchy noodles. It's good.. IMO $6.00.”
“Visited this store for the first time and it won't be my last. Unique and affordable selection of wines and liquors. Clerk was knowledgeable and helped me to make my selection. Disappointed I've never been here before, but I'll certainly be back!
Also the wine I purchased was some of the best I've ever had!”
“Specializing in Italian wines from all over the country, San Pietro provided an overwhelmingly positive experience to learn about wines for every region in Italy. They even have a few domestic wines to choose from. Lucia was so helpful and knowledgable providing insights into some rather fun, obscure wines. She was even gracious enough to provide change for the parking meter so we could talk longer! I'm planning to make a visit to San Pietro a part of my quarterly visits to Yonkers and the surrounding area!”

“Though the store does not carrry a huge inventory of wines, there is a bit of everything in the store. From old world, new world, to champagne and beer, cognac and whiskey and others, there's no way you can leave here empty-handed.Truthfully, the store runs through a gamut of prices to fit any budget. More importantly, on two different occassions, the staff is on point on providing excellent customer service. That makes me a fan! At wine ventures, there's a special bottle waiting for you. I know I found mine.”
“When they found out I was getting a bottle as a gift, they offered to wrap it very nicely at no extra charge. Great service, attentive staff, and friendly people. Very good selection considering it's a small shop on the corner.”
“I stumbled upon this local liquor store, and it's become my go-to spot for all things spirits. Overall, my experience with this local liquor store has been nothing short of excellent. It's a gem that deserves recognition for its exceptional service, diverse selection, and passion for all things spirits. Cheers to a fantastic establishment that has earned its place as my preferred destination for libations!”
“Store is wall stock with a wide variety of wines and liquors. The prices are also quite competitive and reasonable. Storage clean and staff is quite friendly and ready to help with your selection and answer questions for your purchase and for your interest of wines and liquors. I would suggest trying them if you like call them see what they have for you it might surprise you and you too may be a repeat customer.”

“Very good prices in whole west Chester. The service is awesome lot of collections over here. They have widend collection of wines and liquors. They have even the Uber eats and door dash which is very interesting”
“This is my favorite wine store ever! I will never stop raving about how beautiful the interior is, how great the store smells, how knowledgeable and friendly the owners are and what a wonderful selection of high quality wines and spirits they carry! Always sending all of my friends this way for best wine shopping experience ever! Five stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Love the size of this wine store. I much rather choose from a fine selection of good wines than get flustered with too many to choose from, never knowing if it's good or not. Happy I found this place, owner is really nice too!”
“Thierry, the owner, is incredible who has a contagious passion for wine.. I’ve had a hospitable experience at every visit. This place has a fantastic, diverse portfolio of international wines at great price points. (I’ve noticed I’ve been ripped off by some other local purveyors and shops who apply silly, unfounded markups… they shall remain nameless but it’s terrible!) I LOVE their detailed notes on each bottle and the care they take to do their research. It’s really clear to see this spot was opened with real dedication. I hope you choose to support these guys as they’re definitely the best in town and the region.”
“Been coming here for about 8 yr now. Exceptional selection that is carefully curated for your palate and price point. The staff is knowledgeable to a fault : be prepared for a lecture about the grapes, climate, structure of the wine and vintage. Always love to get their picks because I rarely have an off wine from them. It is a wonderful little tucked away gem.”
