I truly hope this was not a response to my skin color because I can not think of any other reason why I was treated so poorly as I was very polite both before after. The employee Matt who works there should not be working directly with customers if he is going to be rude to them to the point that they don't even want to finish their transaction. There was another employee at the register who was also very rude and was walking away from me while I was calmly explaining the situation to him . I don't support this business if this is how they treat people

This, my friend, is customer service. And caring This is going above and beyond. I am just an old man living in Van Schoonhoven Square and don't drink that much (but I do my best), but the owner/employee cared enough to go out of his way to do it. Hat's off! This is an old-fashioned customer service business. Patronize them and support them. It is what we all should do.

What a jackhole this guy is…read more One would think that if you ran a wine and liquor store, you would have a reasonable degree of knowledge pertaining to wines and liquors. One would think, but that is clearly not always the case, and this place is an exceptional example. One would also think that if you run a small community wine shop, that you wouldn't be a dick to your customers. That, too, is clearly not always the case, and once again this wine shop is an example of it. There's one guy who works here -- younger, with dark hair -- who is friendly and genuinely helpful. The other guy, who I assume is the owner/manager, is the complete opposite. When I asked him if he had any honey wine (aka mead), he had no idea what it was and reacted as though I was insane to have the audacity to ask him about it. I've had other experiences here that were pretty much along the same lines: ask him a question, get treated like you're an asshole for expecting him to waste his time helping you. I can't imagine that's going to help build customer loyalty, broseph. I have no problem going elsewhere.

Maybe I came on a bad day, but there were boxes everywhere and it looked disheveled. If they had a organization system I didn't quite catch it. I found ciders here and there in the store, not grouped together. Since I am not a beer connoisseur, I couldn't say if their selection was good or even organized. I have been to other beverage centers in the area so I know what is "normal" and what is "a hurricane just went through here." I saw a lot of cool ciders and picked some up, as well as a case of sparkling water. There was a half-full (or half-empty?) cup of beer on one shelf, which I assume was leftover from a tasting event they ran two days ago. I saw one employee several times walking around and stocking. He never said a word to me when I came in, never asked if I needed help, or didn't thank me for stopping by. His only word was "yup" when I preemptively set out my ID. Maybe I came on a bad day, or maybe it is normal for this place. I dunno, but there are better options that I enjoy more so I doubt I will be back.

While surfing the internet for some lesser-known (not to be confused with low quality) bottles of…read morejunmai daiginjo sake for a special occasion, I found a couple that sounded like winners. Price-checking several well-known websites and digging a little deeper, I landed at We Speak Wine. Their website was easy to navigate through. Although they are mostly a wine cellar, I was able to find the two sakes that I wanted. I really liked that I don't recognize a single brand of sake that they carried (except for Otokoyama). I'm no sake connoisseur but I was interested in both their high-end stuff as well as the affordable stuff. Highest priced sake was $180 and cheapest was $15. No Sho Chiku Bai or Hakkaisan (Thank Buddha). As for wines, the huge variety and selection are mind-boggling. If you know what you want, or if you want to play "bottle roulette," this is the place. Shipping was $15.54 for 2 bottles but they delivered right on time as promised and their packing was great. No packing peanuts, no soggy box, no chards of glass to attack my unsuspecting hand. They took out the bottles from the boxes, neatly folded the boxes, wrapped the bottles in tissue paper then put them in bottle cartons. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/QjNzU0Ys6698OKHzLVDeNw?select=BM9L_UG5w76Z4-BDKbFmFA Prices for my bottles of sake were about $10-20 cheaper than other websites. At first I gave this place 5 stars but I'm a little bewildered that the same bottle that I ordered online 2 weeks ago is now $22 more and the other bottle is now $16 more. I guess I got a good deal at the right time. Even at these higher prices, they'll still make you feel better by listing a higher price and using font-edit strikethrough. Nonetheless, I appreciate the accompanying refrigerator magnet, the business card with a human name on it, and a human hand-written "Thank you!" on my order summary that was folded neatly into a logo envelope. I also appreciate that this is a small or relatively new business (my order number is only 3 digits big) in Troy, near Albany in upstate New York. By the way, the address is the same as a local liquor store, Hoosick Street Wine Cellar Discount, so look for that if you're in the area. I found it funny that I live in a state that is closer to Japan and produces fine wines and yet I ordered sake from a wine cellar on the opposite side of the country, especially when K&L Wine Merchant is not that far away. Anyway, there is a bunch of interesting bottles that I am eyeing at We Speak Wine and when the occasion calls for it, I will order from them again.
