"Hey we're all out of wine. Can you go to the store and pick up something that would go well with The Ramones?"
Sounds like an odd request, but if you were at the Winey Neighbor you're in luck.
The Winey Neighbor is actually a pleasant friend to have in the neighborhood, despite what their clever moniker implies.
With an extensive selection of white, red and sparkling wines, you'll be glad you stepped in here. The setup is very nice and clean. With bottles ranging in price from basic to high class stuff.
Each bottle selection has a card below it. On the cards they list some important info. Starting with it's basic information. A detailed idea of it tastes like. What meats, cheese, fish or vegetables would pair well with it. And oddly enough what music you should listen to it. I didn't know my wine cared so much. Now you know too.
If you can't read and need help, the staff here are very friendly and eager to help out.
I rolled into the Winey Neighbor on Saturday to pick up a couple of bottles for a Friendsgiving (wine is always a safe bet when you can't cook, right?). The majority of the bottles were in the $10-$15 range which is really nice. Besides the price, they had a great selection and a nice variety. I love that each wine is given food and music pairings. It's a fun touch.
The man behind the counter was very friendly and down to help with any questions that I had. A great, easy wine-buying experience! I'll be back!
Nice little local wine store. Probably one of the best in the vicinity, and there are like one million of them on Washington Ave alone, not accounting for nearby Vanderbilt Ave.
They have little placards next to the wine that tells you what food the wine pairs well with, which is super helpful. The placards also tell you what music the wine pairs well with. That's a bit of a stretch, although it's a cute gimmick.
The people who own this place and the people who work here are very helpful and kind. This is my top wine store on the border between Prospect Heights and Crown Heights.
What happens when your party of 4 ends up finishing roughly 5 bottles of wine and another house guest arrives? You go out and buy more wine. Duh. At this point we were discovering the magic of Lambrusco and my pal realized that I had never used the foursquare percentage discount for this store before. They ARE super friendly here though and the selection is totally more impressive than Fermented Grapes on Vanderbilt. I recommend it. I also recommend any of the cheap Lambruscos in the refrigerator.
Love love love this place. It's quaint and full of all types of delicious wines. They have an extensive collection of reds, whites and spakling wines. The price point is also a winner. I havent spent over $15 for any bottle.
The main reason why I like this place is because of the lovely woman that works here…I believe she may be the owner. She's always helpful when I come in and will make suggestions. She's very personable and just makes you want to come back to this particular wine store.
Need wine and want some friendly service… come here!
Cute and quaint neighborhood wine shop. The owners are friendly and the prices are perfect for the area–they even have a table for cheapos like me! My favorite part is the music pairings on the wine description cards, so you can really set the mood. They also give out a frequent purchase card.
Simply adorable! The white is wonderfully priced and the woman who was working (possibly the owner?) had some fabulous recommendations my bf, roommate and I all enjoyed! Each wine has a card with pairing suggestions-food AND music (loved it!) Overall, I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out! I am thrilled it's a stones throw away from my place
I am no wine aficionado, but this place can pique any newbies interest! Run by a highly creative and artistic married duo, The Winey Neighbor (cute name for the store), is an amazing and quaint wine boutique. We have visited a handful of times and each time, I see that they have expanded their wine selection. I would say there are over 100+ brands at any given time, and each wine is specifically paired with an index card sized tidbit that helpfully suggest food & music pairings that match the wine. You can approach the owners with any questions or advice that you'd want to seek out, as they are ultra friendly and knowledgeable of their wine stock. The look is typical Brooklyn chic, rustic, and charming, and the prices are more than reasonable. The Winey Neighbor is a a treasure worth discovering time and again.
