Very helpful (and young) staff that provides what I will give a rave recommendation. I was looking for a robust, spicy, full bodied Red to pair nicely with a new brie I picked up for the evening. OH BOY was I pointed in the right direction! Lifting up, and scanning (with my Vivino wine app) what later on proved to be an exquisite bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo; I made contact with the handsome label. No stranger to this wine (my family comes from an area close to the Abruzzo region-REPRESENT), I was skeptical to buy, because this blend has not always been so good to me. After Santa's little wine helper gave me other recommendations, I went with his first choice; as I wasn't in the mood for fruity Bordeaux (which he also so kindly recommended). He knew his stuff, was polite, helpful and attentive.
Although I did spot some expensive ($400) bottles of wine on display, there were also very affordable and high quality selections available as well. I encountered some labels that I was having trouble finding in my usual liquor store, in addition to the brand new and attractive Italian Reds that I had never seen before. Will absolutely be back soon!
Great wine store, with reasonable prices for the area. They have a very large selection of European wines, especially French. I was thrilled to find over 10 different French Beaujolais wines. The staff is knowledgable and helpful, and they will also let you browse endlessly without getting in your face. Wine tastings twice a week as well!
Really a fantastic store with unique and hard to find wines… Staff is truly helpful, and free delivery to Brooklyn for a $200 purchase. Tastings all the time too!
I don't always shop for wine, but when I do, I go to chambers street wines. They always seem to have the wines that I'm looking for than I can't find anywhere else. This place has more of a bookstore vibe than a wine shop, which i like. the customers that come here know their wine, so I got a great recommendation from one when they ran out of the wine I was looking for. The staff is great, friendly and knowledgable. They have a variety of wine with a variety of prices.
So far, this shop suits my needs better than any of the local competition. It is almost always in my path so, it will be difficult for the other to crack the code and capture my wallet share.
They have informal tastings. They offer advice on wine and spirits. The inventory is extensive. In the spirit section, they have some unique and high quality products.
They are friendly and/or informative.
Ironically, I write a shorter review of the ones I like best.
It's a small and cute liquor store. I was in the area, on my way to a restaurant with an awesome BYOB policy with a few friends. So we stopped by Chambers Street Wines, hoping to find a nice magnum bottle of wine for about $30. But it turns out that their magnum bottles start off at $50 but oddly enough, their regular sized bottle of wines start at $7-$10. I think this price discrepancy is a bit odd.
But other than that, the staff was very welcoming and all seemed knowledgeable.
Again, it's a small space so be careful not to knock anything down!
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff, coupled with a tight but excellent selection of wines and liquors. I've only been a few times, but every time a member of the staff finds me and advises me on what to buy. Their liquor selection is small, but selected with great care. This was evident when I recently asked for Tequila, the guy helping me said "Well we have about 4, all of them are amazing" I got only 1 but it was indeed amazing. I'm not a big wine drinker, but my wife is slowly turning me on to it, so I think I'll become a regular here. It's a welcome alternative to some of the either snooty or ignorant places I've experienced in the area.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff that will navigate your palette to find the best liqurrs your wallet can afford that you won't often find in other liquor stores. They specialize in finding unique liquors in NY and I often find myself there looking for new batches of whiskey brands that other liquor stores do not carry.
