I found a lovely Portuguese red blend for $9, that was 25% Syrah, but ended up going wonderfully with a -- yep -- delicate pork tenderloin. Some reviews I found indicated the staff were neither friendly nor helpful, I found them to be both welcoming and helpful! They have quite a collection, including a rare Scottish' whiskey that is from am island to the west of Scotland. I hope others give them a try.

One of the most depressing stores I've visited…read more I recall once stopping in here two years ago; I recall buying Calvados brandy and gave them points for having that. They seem to have an ample amount of hard liquor. I do remember being skeevied out about the store. I so dislike the nearby Wine Reserve with it's thin, unimpressive stock at severely inflated prices --with an exceedingly rude staff adding insult to injury-- that not in the mind to loop through Delmar to Slingerlands I thought I've give this a try as I wasn't in the mood to drive down Feura Bush, up Elm and Cherry, to take 104 and then 85 N to get to the only actually good liquor store in the Town of Bethlehem. The store has a huge amount of inventory --undrinkable inventory. It is about 99.8% plonk that I'd never drink -- even if served at a public function when you expect the wine to be mediocre. But, as you traverse the crowded aisles you are struck by the dank smell, the old stained carpet and the inescapable sense that you have really, really, really dropped your standards being in this store. They carry all the cheapest brands, the kind of wine that you drink solely to get drunk because you are indifferent to wine as a beverage. Walking around you are also struck by how dirty the place is, and an uneasy feeling about who you might encounter in the cramped, narrow aisles. I identified the worst possible French, the worst possible Italian, the worst possible California, the worst possible Northwest, the worst possible Argentine, the worst possible Australian and New Zealand wines. Of course the New York wines (let's face it, NYS does not produce great wine) were the bottom of the barrel (pardon the pun.) And then, I found one singular wine that was decent -- a Spanish albarino. It was about $2 more a bottle than the excellent liquor store in Slingerlands, but it didn't require driving an additional seven miles so I gave in and bought it. Of course, the salesman fit the store: while looking unpleasant I didn't imagine he was security. It seemed unlikely he'd rip himself from the television to which he was glued in order to give pursuit if someone attempted to bolt from the store with a $7 bottle of wine. Suffice it to say, no matter how much you want a drink, this is a place to avoid.

Absolutely ridiculous: HWM is a high-end niche business based on Warren Street's fancy clientele. A liquor store across from a gas station two towns away, selling Wild Turkey and Popov, was no threat to HWM. I was a regular when Michael and Marianne owned HWM, but I'll never spend another penny thete because of this petty behavior against a great Livingston family.
