There are two different reviews for this store. In the spirit of fairness, I've added to both.
I also don't understand how this place got a one star rating in that other review or this one- since it's been the best part of my neighborhood exploration over a short stint at the NYLO for a conference. In short, I got decent wine and STELLAR service.
I was steered to several bottles of totally decent wine- $10 Sav Blanc and Cote du Rhone.
But that is not the whole story. The whole story is that we walked into a musical comedy sketch and were serenaded with Nat King Cole and Guns and Roses by the smiling soft spoken gentlemen behind the counter. A cherubic faced guy with a sweet smile and rather shy demeanor, he happily shared his rendition of several tunes when his colleagues shirt pocket of tunes was silences during a text exchange. Said colleague joined into the musical discussion and then provided accompaniment of the requested Guns and Roses although he declined to perform a duet.
I returned the next day to get them on film but was told I was too early, the entertainment started later. When asked for one of the guys name so he could be properly promoted, my troubadour smiled sweetly and said "Sexy". When I snorted and asked what his mother he called him, he didn't miss a beat or bat an eyelash but said immediately "Handsome." Believe me, this was not offensive or creepy. It was hilarious and self consciously ironic.
SO – stop In and ask for Sexy or Handsome to sing you a song or pick out a bottle of wine. You'll be glad you did.

I've been going for the past 10 years.
Affordable. Well stocked. Reliable.
A solid choice in this neighborhood.
