Great local wine shop! Store is quite big and they stock some of the mass brands I could do without, but boy, do they stock some unknown goodies and premium brands! They have pretty large selections of the major grapes and regions…can always find something new and fairly unique to try. Solid selection of spirits, as well.
The help is usually spot on…I try to ask for Joe, as he always makes excellent recommendations. But I do find that the managers can be a bit curmudgeony when it comes to the coupons they email out and the cashiers sometimes act like they're doing you a favor when ringing you up. (This is why they lose a star in my rating.)
But all in all, excellent selections with pretty decent prices, make this my go to shop for my vino needs.
Amazing customer service!! I happened across this store on my way to get lunch, and popped in because I needed a gift for a friend. I was looking for a certain kind of bourbon, and was helped by Mr. Wright himself! He was super nice and luckily, a shipment of what I was looking for had just come in the day before! And when I checked out, Mr. Wright offered to giftwrap my bourbon for me! What a sweetheart!
Selection was awesome and prices are reasonable. But seriously, the customer service is great and Mr. Wright definitely won me over!
This is my go to place for all my beverage needs, with the exception of beer obviously. Everybody here is super nice and there is always someone on the floor to help you. I do not know much about wine, but I know what tastes good and what doesn't. They always recommend a great bottle that does not leave my wallet light. If you are into the expensive stuff, they have a bunch of that too. Excellent selection of all liquor. They have a great selection of Ports, which I am really into. If you need Airline Bottles this is the place to go. I never knew there were so many and they have a ton. Only place I will go, for price, service and selection.
Helpful staff
Huge selection
Wide range of price points
Free tastings daily
&& located near my dinner-party-loving-friends, so ding ding ding, an all around winner for me.
Me: Hey, looking for a nice french wine that pairs well with steak but on the lighter side between $15-$20
Staff: I have just the wine for you. (end scene)
Quick stop but like a kid in a candy store, you could have fun perusing for a bit.
I can't help it! This is my favorite liquor store! Everyone that works here is so helpful and friendly. They have a huge amount of stock and selection is the best. One year I came in looking for a special wine. They had it. For holiday gift giving they make the gifts look pretty. Nice presentation matters. Plus they don't charge extra for wrapping. Since my family is into arts and crafts, I like it when they dispose of the wooden wine boxes. They sure come in handy for storage and keeping kids busy decorating them. They're just an all around great business to have in my community!!
After visiting nearly ten liquor stores in lower Manhattan with my boyfriend to find a bottle of Sweet Revenge, we realized that it was mission impossible to find such a particular whiskey. We found Mister Wright after browsing through the internet. I called the store and the guy on the phone knew exactly what I was talking about. He also let me know that they're sold out of the sample sizes but have a few full sizes in store. I immediately hopped on the train to get to the upper east side.
This is a big store and was pretty crowded when I arrived around 6. Someone approached me and I asked him about the whiskey. He was friendly and helped me find it after we realized it wasn't in the whiskey section. The price was a little higher than I expected but seeing as it's the one place in New York City that sells it, I can't really complain.
Mr. Wrights has got it covered in terms of selection. Every single kind of alcohol you can imagine, although I'm still kind of bitter that they did away from the vodka infused whipped cream…but I digress.
Wine Castle across the street is a bit cheaper, but I just love cruising around Mr. Wright, checking out their new stuff and even doing a little wine tasting. The staff is really friendly and helpful and they know their stuff!
This place …..
The very first time I came here I was so overwhelmed and swore I would never come back. I thought I had a good liquor store near my old murray hill apt and this place is 4x the size with 20x the options. Luckily I got over it quick and now I absolutely LOVE this place. Whatever you need or want is here. There are so many options at all different price points – seriously you can some tasty wines for $8!! But they also have quality options, as well. There is always a handful of staff working and they have always been very friendly and willing to help. Usually I just walk around and I don't think I've ever walked out of here without less than 3 bottles of wine/liquor. There are always deals, too!
