“Nice local shop with a great selection. The service was amazing and helpful! There was enough space for social distancing while shopping and a man who worked there wore a mask and gloves. This made me feel pretty safe. I will definitely come back.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great experience ordering/receiving beer. I like how fast they send out the beer with a tracking number unlike Tavour which you have no clue of where it is and when it'll arrive. Thank y'all so much for the hard work and keeping us dehydrated 🍻”
“Chris Liquor Store is like no other Liquor store; it is a very friendly, attentive, and resourceful store where the owners and staff are very knowledgeable about whine, whiskey, rum and champagne. Every time I stopped by, the service is Outstanding making my experience exceptional.
Thank you.”
“This is the best little wine shop! This has been our go-to for the last 8 years. Mike and his sons give recommendations based on past purchases and preferences, and they’re so knowledgeable. If I can’t remember which wine I got last time and loved — they have it saved in their system! After a recent move, we were thrilled to learn they deliver to northern Westchester and that we can continue to support our favorite shop.”
“Love Gary's wine store! Super store with great wines- something for everyone- and the cheese- so incredible. Love the store- ordered a gift for someone recently- super easy- knowledgeable staff so friendly and willing to help. Took no time from ordering online and the delivery to a friend..in a couple hours later. Such a great place!”

“The best wine shop uptown! We’ve been coming here regularly for the past three years, and it’s easily our favorite wine store. The team is consistently kind, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable—they always take the time to help you find exactly what you’re looking for (or something even better). The selection is fantastic, with options for every taste and occasion, and the Friday tastings are such a highlight—always informative, thoughtfully curated, and just a great experience overall. Truly a gem!”
“I've used River Valley Wine Cellars for a few years now to assist with collecting and delivering wine in the greater NYC area. I've recently had them package some wines for FedEx air freight as well. They have been nothing but courteous, kind, and responsive. Great team!”
“They have Poli Grappa. Ordered two bottles and it arrived intact in well protected packaging. Reasonable prices. Great business that’s worth supporting.”
“Ricky has always been friendly and polite any time I’ve shopped at Bardonia Fine Wines. He really knows his stuff and is great at recommending something new based on what you like. Definitely someone you can count on every time you stop in. The store is consistently clean and well organized as well!”
“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!”
“Do. Not. Skip. This. Place.
Want the best wines you've never heard of before? You found your home. From Joe, to Heidi, Judy, Eric and everyone you meet in the store, you're going to feel as part of a family immediately. Every wine has been tasted by the team and selected because they're just fantastic.
On a budget? You'll have MANY options. Wanting to impress, regardless of dollar signs? Joe will make sure you're the favorite guest at the dinner party. I've had many wines from here, all more delicious than the next. The free weekly tasting on Saturday's (at least 4 wines) you walk out with at least 1 of you new favorite wines every week.”
“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.”

“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.”
“This is the store we have been waiting for! Rachel is amazing and I know no matter what I buy at her shop, I will be happy. Everything is so thoughtful, and personal, and it is such a nice treat to be part of the wine club and to get the hand selected menu of bottles to try each month.”
“Best service I have rec’d in ages! Got my order delivered by a kind gentleman in less than an hour. Was informed I would receive order in an hour & got it before 30 minutes! And my selection was so good, especially Pinot Noir from Portugal!”
“Having lived in Hell’s Kitchen for a long time and a few places in Yonkers that didn’t have as much accessibility to stores as I was used to, I was so happy to find a home in this neighborhood as I can walk to pretty much everything I need, including bourbon, gin and wine :). Occasionally a nice tequila. The owners are a lovely married couple with young teenaged sons and a totally chill store cat. I have been patronizing them since their last location down the street and they have always been so friendly. I know them by name and always feel welcomed when I come in. They greet people by their names and know what their customers like. The prices are exactly where they should be for our neighborhood and they are staples. If you happen to be driving on Ashburton and need some hooch, definitely stop in and see them!”
“Xplor is a diamond. The best wine selection in the area of maybe the state. If you want to know what wine to get Kurt, will be able to help you.
Hire him for a local party with friends you will not be disappointed. I was able to attend one of his local classes, it was a good time.”

“Great selection! They have my favorite gin, Stray Dog Wild Gin, distilled with sage, rosemary, bay leaf, lemon and orange.
Perfect for Martinis and Negronis!!”
“I was shopping for Pinot noir for the first time at this location. I got the wine and the owner or employee (I am not sure) suggested another one which was a really good 👍 price and better quality 😄. I do not regret buying it and I like it very much. So I will be back tomorrow to get one more for the weekends.
Very helpful, knows their products and pays very good attention at what customers need.”
“I go In often and staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are great! Tonight I went in and asked for a donation to support my charity walk and the owner went above and beyond to support the walk!!”
“all the employees there are so kind and helpful! the store has so many options i always have to ask for where to go. the prices are fair and i would definitely go here again next time!!”
“They didnt have the bottle i wanted but instead of letting me leave they looked it up. Ordered it. And I recieved it 2 day later. Very efficient and professional. Thank you.”

“Johnathan provided outstanding customer service from the moment I walked in. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. His recommendations were excellent, and he helped me find exactly what I was looking for at a great price. The store was clean, well organized, and the overall experience was excellent thanks to his professionalism and positive attitude. If you are looking for great service, ask for Johnathan. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Full disclosure: I've only placed one online order with Bottle Grove, so I can't speak to the experience of shopping there physically. But what an excellent experience I had.I placed an order in late August 2023. Within minutes, I received an email from Chris that the following week would be too hot to safely ship wine, but that if this was an urgent order, they could make it happen. I never would have thought of this, and never would have expected a vendor to put this much thought into their fulfillment. I accepted their offer to hold shipment until the weather turned around, and received a follow-up note confirming the bottle was gift wrapped and shipped (with tracking number provided!) from another member of the team, Matthew.Bottle Grove is doing customer service and fulfillment the right way! Thank you!”

“Great family owned business, customer service is top notch. Always has popular & new products as well as a vast collection of international wines/liquors/beers...you name it!
Worth a trip every time I am in the area...they're open late on Sundays too while every other store in the area is closed!”
“I went into Stonegate Wines yesterday, as I often do and it’s truly the Cheers of wine shops. Patrick and Jason are always welcoming no matter if it’s your first time or 100th time shopping there. Their knowledge will always point you in the right direction if you’re looking for yourself or someone else, they have it. The shop is always stocked well, neatly and the various gift boxes made in house are unique that you can’t find anywhere else! If you’re looking for a friendly place, great products, good conversation, tastings or any combination of, check them out!!”
“This is a nice little wine & liquor shop with a very decent and diverse selection of wines and spirits. The locals love this place and the staff is very friendly. You will get great service here. This is not a pretentious place! The selection spans from high end to value wines - if you are in Hastings or near or are just visiting the area - stop by! This is one of the treasured gems in town - they are all about service and not pretense.”
