“First impressions matter!
I had an outstanding experience from the moment I walked in the door! The store was clean, and well stocked. The owner and his staff were friendly, helpful and engaging beyond expectation! I will be back. I tend not write many reviews- this was a well deserved pleasure to give! Cheers!”
“Had a spectacular time. Becky & Mary were spectacular hosts and gave us so much valuable insight into the cheeses that matched what we wanted. We will certainly be coming back soon!”

“Had a good experience here. The ladies were lovely and helpful. They had an above average selection, their prices were excellent.
I picked up some early times, bottled in bond happily for $24.99
For the local area, their prices are the most competitive.”
“This was my first trip to all star wine and I ha e to say I was impressed. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They have staff to guide you through the store and explain different wines they have. Such a pleasure coming here. They do not carry the brand of tequila I was looking for but helped me find a comparison. Plus im from western NY and was surprisingly, very happy with their New York selection of wines”

Frank was so personable and helped me pick out a great rose .
Fantastic selection as well . This shop is not on my way home but I will definitely be a return customer!”

The store is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. Whether you're a connoisseur or just stocking up, this store has something for everyone. Highly recommend!”
“Love this little neighborhood wine shop! I needed a bottle for a little soirée I’m attending and found the perfect bottle. Really great info listed on the cards for every bottle in the store letting you know what to expect.”
“The best liquor store in the Capital District.The outside looks shabby ( it's going to be updated soon) but the inside is great. Stop in and say hello to Thapa behind the counter. Tell him Mike sent you. Great selection. Excellent prices. Look for the flashing arrow on Central Ave. near Osborn.”
“We picked up one of their Friday night dinner specials. We got sauerbraten, sauerkraut, spatzle and an apple tart for $20. It was served in a 3 compartment tray. We got ours to go, but people were in clubhouse eating there from the same trays.
We were also served a cucumber salad? Sliced cucumbers in soir cream sauce? The wife loved it, but, alas I hate cucumbers.
Food was delicious.
The bar was hopping!
The age seemed to be Cucumbers. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.”
“Huge wine selection. I love the searching ability on their website! Prices are great and pretty much match the NH liquor stores. No further discounts for cases because pri es are already very low. This is my go-to wine store for good reason.”
“This store is small, but they have a great selection. They have a nice selection of New York state spirits, which is an added bonus. It is located in Stuyvesant Plaza, so very convenient.”

“I just moved to the area in August so I'm still getting used to the area and figured I would stop in on my way home from work. Nice little shop and good prices. I went in looking for wild turkey 101 but I didn't see it right away so I just got the regular bourbon. The guy at the register immediately asked me if I wanted the 101. I was happy they had it because it's pretty hard to find whenever I go to places. Thanks for the help!”
“My favorite of all liquor stores in this area. Best prices, excellent customer service, as just about everyone working there is warm and friendly. Thank you guys!! Keep up the good work!”
“Friendly and super helpful employees and owner. They are always willing to look up wines I am looking for and make suggestions. And they always help me carry everything to the counter. The wine selection is vast compared to the state stores in PA. I am now stopping every time I pass through Troy.”
“Reasonably priced purveyor of fermented beverages and distilled spirits. Convenient to East Greenbush and Troy, but cannot compete with Empire Wine for selection or price.”
“The prices totally compare to the big stores, like Exit 9. Great selection, friendly service,& so convenient. I’ve been stopping in since they opened,& it’s a great addition to the area.”
“Small, family-owned store with a great selection of wine both refrigerated and shelved. Sometimes, they bring their dog to greet customers! It's an added bonus for me!”
“Aside from participating in the restoring of this building from a dry cleaners to what is now a premium winery and liquor spot, it is one of the best in atmosphere and selection. I know when we first completed the brick work the second floor could be rented for private parties although I'm not sure if they are still providing this service. All in all worth a stop if you are in the area!”
“Eric the owner is the sweetest man you'll meet. Has so many great wines, whiskeys and more. Excellent stop. If he doesn't have it, he can probably get it.”
“This wine and liquor store is the best. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that go out of their way every time you walk in the door. The prices are fantastic and they have a solid bourbon selection. There is even a rewards program which is like a reward for drinking booze! Haha! Zach and James are truly kind men and it's also a pleasure stopping by!”

“This place is awesome the owner Harry is a great guy I go in there all the time for my neighbor he has it waiting for me when he sees me walking through the door it's clean Pleasant definitely give it a five stars”
“Doesn't look like much on the outside but it is full of a huge selection of beer, largely local. Only downside in my mind is that you have to buy in 4/6 packs with very few singles for sale. But absolutely worth stopping to grab some really good beer. Also has a smoke/convenience shop inside.”

“Spirits of Troy is an absolute gem! The staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and always prompt in assisting with any questions or recommendations. The store itself is spotless, with a clean and well-organized layout that makes browsing a breeze. The open floor plan, along with clearly labeled sections, makes it so easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Their selection is impressive, with plenty of options to choose from, all at reasonable prices. The coolers are perfectly chilled, and the glass is always smudge-free, which really adds to the overall experience. This is easily one of the best liquor stores around, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional service!”
“Nice store. Good selection of spirits. Nothing eclectic. If you're looking for a variety of exotic Scotches they're not there. Ok selection of bourbons and whiskeys, gins and vodkas. The staff is nice. I'm not quite sure what more to say... It's a liquor store. Parking lot is ok.”
“Love this liquor store! Its a very convenient location in cohoes. The min you walk in your welcomed in with a hello how are ya. Everyone there is very helpful and nice, and they always have the vino I like!”
