“the owner is so knowledgeable! i wanted tito’s vodka and although she didn’t carry it, she was able to make a recommendation for a vodka that was made using the same ingredient (corn) and process as tito’s - plus it was locally made and the company donates a portion of the proceeds to charity. so glad i stopped in!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!?♥️”
“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!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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 .”
“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!”
“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.”

“This is a great wine store, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They sometimes have tasting events in store where you can taste wines or bourbon and learn about different types of alcohol. The vibe is always welcoming and fun. The prices are fair and to be honest I mostly come here for Gershon's wine recommendations, he always hits the mark. The store would never be the same without him.”
“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!”
“I absolutely love shopping at Bardonia Fine Wines! The selection is fantastic, and I always find the perfect gifts for my clients. Ricky and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to offer recommendations. Their commitment to customer service makes every visit a pleasure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality products and a welcoming atmosphere!”
“I just had the most amazing experience with Kurt at explor wine, Ive never had an experience in a wine store like I had today hands down kurt is the nicest person you can meet and knows his products like no other. Today was my first time there and a 40 minute drive one way i left with organic wines and I will never go any place else again thank you Kurt I look forward to your knowledge and how you educated me on so many of your wines ?”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“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!!”
“As much as I would like to, in good consciousness, I can't gatekeep this place. While, yes, the space is small, they cram an impressive assortment of product on their shelves. I had the privilege of being assisted by the owner of the shop who was unbelievably helpful in finding what I needed - a mix of liquor for my engagement party. I have not a single clue about flavor profiles of Champaign, I just needed something that was delicious and price effective. The owner made his recommendation, and I walked away with a bottle to sample at home. The bottle ended up being absolutely delicious, so I returned the next week for a few cases. Main Wines also has an extensive Whiskey and Wine selection - again, small shelves, but they seem to pack the hits here as well as some allocated bottles. I bought some whiskies and vodka along with my cases for those who imbibe, and was all set for my party (I even received complements on my selection...spoiler alert, I didn't pick them, the owner did). I hope to see Main Wines grow over the next few years, and I hope all the apartments they're throwing up around town will help with that effort. I'll certainly be back for my future needs!”
“Great store. Most knowledgeable wine folks around. Fair prices and a highly curated selection. Let Ray set you up with something you’ve never tried before. Can’t go wrong with this place.”
“Well stocked. Ample varieties. Very good value. Friendly, knowledgeable owners. Nice counter staff at checkout and hardworking stockers. Can get a bit cramped but that is part of its charm!”
“This place is superb. They have something for every type of wine lover - whether you’re a European traditionalist, California lover, or even a natural wine person. The owner, Joe, goes above and beyond to make sure your night is complete with the right wine. You will certainly leave more knowledgeable than you came in and eager to try something new with all the rare, eclectic wines they have.”
“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!”
“The best prices in the area, though their selection is somewhat limited. The sales associates are friendly and very well versed in there products. They allow customers to order cases of items they don't sell, and delivery is available through Uber and Doordash. There are free tastings almost every day and occasional bottle engravings.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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 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.”
