The new management of Hudson Wine Merchants is not community-minded like its founders. Example:…read moreThey made their staff whine before the SLA to oppose a liquor license for a new shop which would have been located miles and miles outside of Hudson--claiming that it would cause too much competition for them. 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.

Also love that the employees are so willing to help when I'm looking for something specific. It definitely gives you a cellar vibe when you walk in, but the wall to wall liquors and countless bottles of wine really get your thirst levels up. Absolutely a community staple!

Do you absolutely need to get drunk immediately?…read more You're in luck! The Wine Cellar has an enormous amount of ready-to-drink alcohol, in a shockingly wide variety of containers. They've got bags of mojito, buckets of margarita, jars of adult chocolate milk, trays of kamikaze test-tube shooters, alcoholic whipped cream and you can even get merlot in one of those Muscle Milk boxes. This last one is a combination of two of my favorite things: getting drunk and juice boxes. Can't be bad.* And if you'd like to drink like an adult, they also stock a ton of great booze. I'm betting that they've got what you're looking for, and if you have no idea what you're looking for, the staff will happily make recommendations. The prices seem fantastic to me, but then again, I'm used to NYC, which is stupidly expensive. All I know is that I can get one of my favorite bourbons here (Hudson's Four-Grain) for $37, when I can't find it in Brooklyn for less than $50. __________ *Actually, it probably can be. In my experience, the best wines don't come in boxes of any kind. Write that down.

This is seemingly one of the few large liquor stores in the Hunter/Catskill area. For this reason…read morethe owners here mark up the wine and liquor to a degree that it was painful buying from this shop. Having said that, the store has a decent selection, including a few good local finds. 1+ star for the guy at the counter being incredibly friendly and knowing that the prices are high. Had some good food recommendations for the area as well. Parking in front.

If you're sensitive to cigarettes, do not go in.

For a small store in a small town I was blown away by the vast selection of spirits and liqueurs on…read moretheir shelves. In addition to all the expected domestic and imported brands, there were many top shelf spirits and unique European liqueurs that I thought might only be available at one of those big box beverage emporiums. They also have an impressive selection of spirits from local and regional distilleries. And on top of all that--I thought their prices were as good as, or in some cases lower, than what I usually pay at the local liquor store where I live. I'll be shopping here again when I'm in the area. (BTW--I only shopped for whiskey, gin, and an Italian aperitif so I didn't check out their wine inventory. I'll amend my review if I shop for wine next time.)

She didn't know any better, they knew it , and they took advantage of it. Anyone in Columbia County who does business with them is doing the rest of the local honest businesses who sell beer a disservice. The last thing we need is a local business like this. We are all better off without it.

Wonderful store! They have every craft beer you could ever want. Friendly service. Top notch.read more

What a gem this little liquor store is! It's right on the way to Sleepy Hollow Lake and I highly…read morerecommend you stop in. What I loved most was that they had a little bit of everything but not a LOT of everything - it felt like the perfect amount of options - not so much as to be overwhelming but enough to make you feel like you had a choice. The first time we stopped in, we bought some chilled vinho verde (perfect for a hot lake day) and some local bourbon. The second time I came back just to get some chilled vinho verde. I got the one they were chilling for themselves - it was quite selfless and I, as I sip on my chilled wine and write this review, am very thankful! Highly recommend stopping in.
