“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.”
“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!”
“A gem of a wine & spirits store, run by a gem of a human, Emma. Eclectic, thoughtful selection of wines and spirits. Unpretentious and welcoming staff who are always ready to steer you towards a discovery bottle or help you find your go-to wine.”
“Convenient they located right outside of the village with a selection that you usually would find in a major Location. Save me a trip to Kingston to get the beer I like and in quantity when I am having friends over for a good price.”
“Excellent products of great variety from all over the world! Always exploring ‚nouveau terrain‘. Very professional in store support tailored to your needs! Highly recommended! Stefan”
“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.”
“This is a gem of a wine shop in a small town. Kevin and Jose’s knowledge of wine is wonderful.
Go in,tell them about your tastes in wine and price point and they will pick out some outstanding wines for you. I have been in the business 30+ years and this is where I go for fine wines.”
“Maloney's is off the beaten path closer to town, but this is my favorite local liquor store. Selection is the best overall even if the place could be organized a bit better. Thankfully you can just ask what you're looking for and the friendly staff is happy to help. That's what really separates this place from the others; a friendly liquor store is hard to come by, especially when they're knowledgeable as well. Maybe Windmill is walkable in town and Town and Country is more established, but this is my go to. Pricing is fair as well.”
“The selection of wine and spirits is unparalleled in Kingston. I knew I really liked this place when I met the owner, Robert. He and his staff are fantastic. Kingston is lucky to have a shop like this!”
“Great selection in a very clean space. I appreciated the knowledgeable and friendly owner who is happy to make recommendations. Love the small town vibe and support for other local businesses.”
“They have a great selection of wine and liquor and are always expanding. The team is so friendly and willing to make sure you find exactly what you are looking for. If you are looking for something special, just ask and they will order it for you. Don't settle for anyplace else. Support your local shops!”
“This is a great store. They have something for everyone. The staff is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Like a Liquor store should be. They also have a great selection of wine. It's in a great location. Their motto should be ''All Roads Lead Here''. Because literally they do.”
“My wife and I love this Wine and Liquor store. The owner Jackie is friendly and very helpful when it comes to helping her customers find what they are looking for. That's why we gave her a 5 star rating. (5 wine glass rating!).”
“The staff is so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable! Peggy, the store owner is the best and does so much for the local community! Support local businesses that support the community!”
“Prices are great and usually much less than others nearby for the same sizes. Staff is always very helpful but not intrusive. They don't hover, which I appreciate.”

“Very beery impressed. Figured I was walking into a Bud Bud and more Bud place, hoping I wasn’t. A fantastic selection of craft, especially local. If your stays bring you to Red Hook and you want your fridge full of good beer, stop by.”
“I traveled to Rhinebeck for the day and decided to go shopping in the village. I stopped in to Rhinebeck Wine & Liquor to see what the store had to offer and I was extremely satisfied with my experience. The inside was decorative and visually sensual. The workers were pleasant and knowledgeable in everything wine - they had an answer for every question I asked to help me pick the perfect bottle! If I ever find myself in this town again I will positively be stopping by again. Highly, highly reccomend.”

“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.”
“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”
“If you are shopping for wine, THIS is the best shop in the area. The owner is a very knowledgeable wine connoisseur, whose expertise can help you select the perfect bottle. When the owner is not present, an elegant young man runs the store with an extensive amount of knowledge of wines, well versed on the regions & types of grapes, who can spurt off a quick summary of each wine, and help you choose something perfectly specific to what you like. I have gone into this shop, and wirh very little info from me about what I'm lokking for, both individuals helped me to select wines that became my favorites. Both assist shoppers with a friendly, easy going tone, while being so thoroughly educated , that it makes picking up a bottle, a nice, no pressure, easy experience. They have excellent excellent wines that are low price point, along with mid price point, as well as some of the finest most high end wines. Currently I'm enjoying an affordable bottle of cotes du Rhone that I never would have chosen without the help of the gentlemen working at the store. In addition to wines, the store has all the spirits you may need , minus the gross , hangover inducing, and college party worthy liquors that would ruin the classy aesthetic of this wonderful shop.Basically, the offerings of this store fit w the vibe that the interior and the owner have created, a CURATED selection of what you want to be drinking this evening, or bringing to your next dinner w friends.I noticed there where a couple bad reviews, one was prices high- no not true, they have some amazing wines for around $10-$14. They also have the regular liquors at their regular prices. No they don't sell low end barefoot $6 bottles of wine. But ew gross that Would ruin the integrity of the shop.Second they mentioned bad customer service and this couldn't be more wrong. As many positive reviews state, customer service is exactly why the local clientele keep coming back. These reviews of poor customer service e were prob just salty or offended after they came in asking for big box brand cheesy wines like "sutter home" or gross liquors like Jim beam.maybe these people felt out of place when the owner couldn't help them find "yellowtail".When I step in this store, I'm not stepping into some generic big box liquour store and wanting to grab and go because the store & experience of wine/alcoholic shopping feels "ick"... rather, I'm stepping into a classic asthetic of historical wooden shelving, beautiful bottles, and I feel like I could be in France, or Italy, last but not least, the owner and his gentleman staff member respect and love wine, and you want to support a privately owned business like that when you are buying wine.r”
“Wow! Endless praise for this gem of a find in quaint Tivoli... Upon walking in and noticing the inviting touches of the decor (super gorgeous wood and copper bar, warm and hip ambience, specials largely posted on the back chalkboard, and the incredibly attentive greeting from Jeff...starts you off for a perfect beginning...a delicious drink made by Liz...I'm ready! And then there is Chef Rei's delectable food. Holy camolies! (Actually, I have to admit, a strong, yet highly endearing slew of expletives came from me as I took my first bite...that's how out of control delicious this food was...!) The vichyssoise blew me away. Happily (and not easily) humbled, I savored each and every bite as Jeff brought out every dish...I am a Chef, and it is such a refreshing and utterly delightful experience to eat the finely tuned dishes of a better Chef...hats off, big time! Salads that had nuance and fine flavors with every happy forkful, appetizers and mains that will blow you away, not only visually, but with the incredible aromas and discerning flavor combinations...crazy inventive and fresh...! Dessert...heavenly...went for the churros and almost asked to simply stay the night! Oh my! Will definitely recommend to everyone and will absolutely be back! Looking forward to trying their ramen night family meal...for certain! Bravissimo to this small and hearty team that deserve serious praise...!”
