“Store is extremely well stocked and very located in uptown Kingston at an easy to access location from the Thruway traffic circle. For an uptown location, it has its own easy and free parking. In particular, the owner and/or manager is extremely personable and goes above and beyond what I would expect to welcome each customer and help them find anything they might need.”
“Best selection, nicest staff, professional and great customer service. Whenever I walk in to Fox and Hound, I know I’m going to walk out with a quality wine. Ken is the best. Wouldn’t go to any other wine store in town. If you want a place that treats you with respect, values you as a customer and - never, ever, ever upsells you - this is the place to go. A gem.”
“I love Van Loans. Great selection of beer or soda, they take your deposit bottles and credit towards your purchase. Best of all they are always super helpful answering questions or helping you carry your purchases to the car.”
“This is a long awaited review but my experience w Kingston wine co was AMAZING. They recently introduced private tastings and we had the most lovely time with Sam during our tasting. She was super informative about the wines we were trying regions, backstories, etc and printed us out cute tasting cards to take notes on. She asked beforehand what kind of wines we like and did not disappoint. We had so much fun and would totally reccomend coming here for a private tasting with your friends, partners or coworkers - it’s pretty affordable considering private tastings in nyc are outrageously expensive. We did the food pairing in conjunction with the tasting and they do their parings with fletcher and Lu nextdoor. The food was soooo yummy! I wish I lived closer they have such good wines from producers I really like. Hoping to come back when I come back to Kingston!”
“Stopped in seeking rum from Barbados and I have to say that the staff at JK’s is incredible! They are so helpful and so nice and because of their amazing service, I will go out of my way to buy from them ?. I believe from my receipt I was helped by MN — thank you.”
“Love this place! The ciders here are all easy drinking porch sippers of which I enjoy every single one of them. The honey honey and the hopped are my favorites of their standard ciders, but keep an eye out for their limited runs of seasonal flavors! They are always top notch!
The cider is great but the view is even better! The patio overlooks the mountains! The sunsets here are absolutely next level! Another note about the view: if you see them offer fireworks viewing for new paltz’s 4th of July fireworks, DO IT! You see all the fireworks, don’t have to deal with the crowds at the fairgrounds, and can watch with a cider in hand! It’s a win-win!
This place is ideal for a romantic date; play jenga and watch the sun set. It’s also ideal for large groups with their big tables.
The only downside to this place is that I would categorize the food offerings here as snacks. So I recommend grabbing something more substantial to eat before heading to kettleborough.”

“Staff here are delightful, very helpful, and the selection is varied and fantastic. If you need something, either they've got it here OR they'll tell you where you can get it nearby.”
“Having just refreshed my memory about Spanish wine made from Mencia grapes on my recent trip through Manhattan, I found this bargain here in Highland. It's a bit more earthy than the fruit-forward variety I purchased down in NYC. This store has good selection for its size! I've actually been a customer for years.”
“We asked for help as to what wine would go good with pizza(Ichore) also, what with be a good dinner wine (Martinelli) the gentleman helping us was very helpful in choosing the right one ! The cashier was knowledgeable on Crown Royal,which will be our next purchase”
“Great selection and reasonable prices. Good for those wanting a decent inexpensive bottle of liquor or wine while a conversation with the owner will give you a world of options for something a little more exotic.”
