“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!”
“This wine store is a few blocks from my house so the location is very convenient. The few times I’ve been here, the staff is always so helpful even when I’m super indecisive (haha). They are also kind and patient. It’s a win/win if you ask me. Come through! :)”
“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!!!?♥️”

“Cabrini Wines & Spirits is a great spot to pick-up a bottle of wine in the neighborhood of Washington Heights!! I’ve stopped in a few times now, and it’s always a great experience. The staff are always so kind and helpful, and the store is always very clean + well-kept!”
“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 .”
“A wonderful worker named Justin I think was so helpful. I was struggling to find the right wine and he used his intellectual wine skills to help me out! GIVE HIM A RAISE”
“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 moved to this neighborhood 12 years ago and the owner, the son and the workers all are beautiful persons and treat all customers like family. I strongly recommend this liquor store. God bless them”
“The BEST small high-end wine shop in Harlem. By far. I love the selection and I love the staff. They’re super helpful and lovely people to talk to. It’s my go to shop. They’ve got a great website and will also deliver quickly if you call. I’ve literally made friends on the subway just by seeing and connecting over our Pompette Wine bags lol this is a beautiful little neighborhood shop for wine enthusiasts but also with great knowledge if you’re just dipping your toe into the wine and spirits water. Also love when they have liquor and wine reps come in and educate on their stock.”
“Whenever I'm on 161st, the is the 2nd best liquor discount store. They always have unique bottles, and the prices are always good and affordable. You should stop in when you're in the neighborhood. You won't be disappointed. The service is always pleasant, and the atmosphere stays quiet unless the re's a Yankee Game, then it gets really crowded.”
“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!”
“Best liquor delivery store in the US! Great selections of unique liquors and because we can’t get them in CO, we can always rely on Arthur Cantina to make it happen—Best service around!! Even when sending specialty liquors to our son serving in Alaska ??”
“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 ?”
“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.”
“They have a great variety of drinks, the staff is super nice and always full of amazing energy. This is where you want to buy your drinks. The prices are amazing, you really won’t regret it :)”
“This shop is hands down best in the area. Staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable - I’m indecisive and can get overwhelmed when choosing wine, but they hit the nail on the head with their recommendations!Plus, they carry my favorite Pinot Grigio for a price I haven’t seen anywhere else in the neighborhood. Thanks izzzzzys!!!!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Always great prices. I am a chef and always need good selections and opinions. They have both, and the prices are amazing . The customer service is a little rough, though. Try to go Monday through Thursday. Friday always has a line.”
“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.”
“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!”
“The prices are a bit above the standard that I typically find in Jersey, but y'all don't even know how hype I was when I came across a rare tequila that I've been in search of for forever. If you know about total wines and liquors you know they have 90% of what you're looking for in stock always! And for them to not have this bottle vs a small time liquor store amazed me. Thank you Harlem for allowing me to try a rare drink for the first time. Got that I'm forever grateful & will be returning”

“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 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!”
“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!”
