    SO this review is specifically regarding what is now "Pleasant Wine & Liquor". We liked the…read moreprevious establishment - The Art of Wine - and family and staff who ran it for decades. The new ownership, however, seems to think that closing as much as 20 minutes early is acceptable business practice. Tonight was the second time we've arrived to find them closed early, and we even got the person closing early on the phone, their reason was 'it was slow tonight'. Why that person didn't have the good sense to re-open and make a sale is beyond me, when the person is literally standing outside the shop. I imagine that the other person who showed up before their listed closing time just to find a locked door might feel similarly. This is a really great way for the new owners to lose a lot of business in a small walking village. It's also a real shame that they've taken what was a longstanding local business with an overall very good reputation, and already managed to put a big dent in it like this. We are disinclined to continue giving them our business based on our recent experience. I would encourage the new owner(s) to revisit their policy, with their staff, regarding staying open until closing time. They cannot possibly think they're going to save enough money closing early to be worth losing all the business they'll lose if they keep this up.

    Purposely drove here instead of going to a big box store to support a local business. I bought a…read morehandle of Tito's and as I walked out I was trying to clean my hands with hand sanitizer. The bottle dropped out of my hands and broke. This was completely my fault, I'll admit. I went back inside with the broken bottle, explained what happened and asked if there was any way they could extend me a small discount on another bottle. The guy, Who I think is the owner, looked at me, put his hands up and said sorry no can do. I get times are tough but it goes both ways. I shop here instead of saving money at a wholesaler. I am a regular customer here on purpose, to support them. I know he didn't recognize me with my mask but it shouldn't make a difference. A 10% discount would have cost him $3. It's the principle of it all and now I will be going elsewhere from now on.

    Prospero is located at the end of a dead end street in Pleasantville. I've never gone at a very…read morebusy time and there's always a place to park outside the entrance. I've only purchased pails of juice from them to make wine and have done this for 3 years now. I'm glad I found them because I was tired of the chaos scene at my usual place in Clifton. Prospero let's you pre-order your juice and schedule a pickup time. Very convenient and no stress about wondering what grapes or juice they'll have in stock. They take cash or check. Any credit card use will incur a fee. One person who answers the phone definitely has a bit of a tone, but the girls at the register/pickup area have always been friendly. The guys who being out my juice and load into the vehicle have also always been nice. They do sell more than juice and grapes as the guy in front of my just bought two big bags of walnuts. You can also do tastings or purchase their other lines of products. The minimally 9 reviews that exist on Yelp at the time of this review are carefully representative of the volume of customers that have. Despite a relatively low rating, maybe give them a chance.

    Second year buying grapes for making homemade wine. Fist time I purchase 10 crates and had a few…read moreclusters of moldy fussy grapes and clusters of dry raisin. I took it as normal loss. Following year I purchased 8 crates due to price increase. To my dismay I must have had almost one crate worth of dry grape clusters useless for wine making. I've tried multiple times to contact prospero, let my name and contact info multiple time with no return call. If you say I should have over looked my crates before I purchased you may be right but there system prevents you from doing so until you unload them yourself. The have an order picker who fills the your cart and loads it into your vehicle. Obviously putting the better crates on top. Also as an FYI they don't refrigerate there grapes, they sit on the loading dock until sold. Go to Corrado's in Clifton instead!
