Crossroads Wine & Spirits
“For those looking to splurge, there was a separate display with some $300+ bottles of Rioja and Ribera, all from the late 1990s (which some of the best Riojas in the past 20 years).”
“I enjoy going into a wine store where you don't mind spending a little extra time browsing the labels.”
“Most stores say delivery within Manhattan but what the mean is everything below 110th (or even 86th in some cases).”

You don't shop at Crossroads for the decor. This store is cramped and the service can sometimes be a little gruff, but the selection of wines is impressive and the prices are great. Lots of biodynamic and organic choices, as well as hard-to-find Spanish wines.
Reasonably priced and close to my house. #win
They seem to be very well stocked in the spirits — I have never had a problem finding the booze I needed in the size I wanted. I have never purchased wine here, but the selection takes up the bulk of the store area, so I imagine they are ok on that front.
I would like to see common mixers and mixins sold here, like fruit, soda etc…
Nice selection of both wine and spirits. I liked the local vendor tastings, though I wasn't a fan of one of the Crossroads salesmen pushing a bourbon on me after I'd already tasted and politely though undeniably communicated my dislike for it. Still, many good finds at decent prices here (you have to hunt, though. This place is definitely stocked more for the local clientele who can afford to live in this area and be regulars at this shop).
Somethings are prices quite high, even for the area. But this is to be expected when shopping in Chelsea. And they do give you your money's worth in terms of service, general store presentation, and even down to bagging your purchases (proper sleeve protectors vs the cardboard box inserts). But they have a clean store, which is laid out well, with a good variety for all budget types.
Definitely check out the selection behind the counter. There are some gems waiting there!
I'm guessing they reopened under new management.
Clean, clearly sectioned and labeled. Shelves are organized from lower priced items at the bottom with more expensive items at top.
The guy was knowledgeable about his whiskey/scotch which i appreciated. Their selection is pretty solid and the prices look pretty similar for Manhattan.
Overall, i would come back and buy a bottle here
I came here on a Sat night looking for a wine. I originally picked a bottle of french wine by the look of the label without knowing too much about it because I am no expert on french wine. But in order to make sure my decision was right I had to ask one of the staff on what does he think about the bottle of wine. To my surprise the staff sounded very knowledgeable of the bottle that I picked.
So, instead, I asked him to recommend me other wines as well to have more options. He then recommended me two other options. I picked one of the recommendations that he provided me. The description that sold me was: light; transparent, can see to the bottom of the glass by looking from above of the glass; and you will taste some spiciness at the end. And he told me if I got disappointed from the taste, then I should come back and see him again…
When I drank the wine, it matched to his description and the wine was very tasty and of great quality. Unfortunately, I forgot the name and the year of the bottle of wine that I bought! : ( But, I don't have to come back to complain to the staff because the recommendation was superb!
Overall, I was very pleased of the recommendation that the staff provided me and I will definitely come back to this place in the future for more recommendations! : )
