Alex helped me pick out the perfect Malbec! I was in the city, heading back home after a whole half of a day's worth of kid's birthday parties, all over town. I had another evening adult party to attend and wanted to make sure that I didn't arrive empty-handled. Luckily, we parked on the same block as Rosetta Wines. The entrance is hidden beneath the scaffolding but definitely stuck out, with the bright salmon coloured Vespa in the window. By the name, you know they mostly carry wines but they do have some spirits behind the counter. I was looking for something specific, a Spanish or Argentinian vino. Alex helped. He was very knowledgeable and asked all of the right questions. In the end, I opted for a modestly priced medium bodied malbec. The party guests were very happy either the selection and I scored a win. read more

Insane prices - charging 50-100% up charge vs. what can be bought at big box stores (eg, Veuve bottle for $110; $30 for 8 seltzers, etc). DO NOT go here. read more

I don't buy alcohol often, but when I do, I love to come to Rosetta Wines. The woman who works here is SO knowledgeable it's impressive. I asked yesterday for recommendations on which rosé to get and she knew where each wine was from, what all of the flavor notes were for each, and because of that it made it super easy to decide which wine to get. She's been spot on every time. I've asked in the past what to pair a blood orange-flavored gin with, and she gave me a fantastic cocktail idea. On top of being very helpful, her and the other associates are also really nice, so I like coming here to support them. There is a neighborhood discount if you live in the area which is nice. Minus one star for 1. the store layout and 2. the liquor selection. If the store has quite a few people browsing, it can get hard to move around because the aisles are really narrow. It's primarily a wine shop so it's understandable their focus is not the liquor selection. read more

I am a fan. I thought staff was helpful, but not overbearing which can happen in a store like this. Selection was solid especially california reds and whites. They didn't have what I wanted but they were able to direct me to a bottle that was similiar and I loved it. I would def go back especially since it is right near my office. Bonus you get 10% off when you mention yelp... I'll take it! read more

I haven't been here for a while, but I walked by and said why not. I asked the sales clerk for assistance with South African wines, he didn't seem to know what Pinotage was or Chenin Blanc. I continued browsing other sections, then I asked him for Falanghina and he looked clueless and said they didn't carry it, the sales woman stepped in and walked me through the italian section, she recommended two wines and I left the store with 3 delicious wines instead of empty handed. Do yourself a favor and go straight to her, she knows what she's doing. read more

One of the priciest wine stores I have gone into. Extremely expensive just comparing to other wine shops within a couple blocks. $75 for a bottle of Veuve Clicquot? You can get bottles of a Veuve starting at $42. If you have the time just take the 4-5 from Wall Street to Union Square and go to Trader Joe's Wine Shop. Much better choices and prices. (And Veuve is $41.99 as a price comparison). Tip: Use Vivino app to check wine prices. You can easily scan a wine label and it'll pop up with the average price and reviews. read more

I am a very loyal customer of your store, and the woman associate (who claimed she was the manager) was extremely rude. I have a pretty heavy arm and so when I closed the door of the wine fridge, it opened back up. Your associate made a fuss about it, telling me it's the second time that's happened. I wouldn't just leave the door open, so it was obviously an accident, and it was very unnecessary to keep saying "SECOND TIME!"repeatedly. Extremely disappointed. read more

I live near Rosetta and it is frequently a convenient stop based on their hours and location. However, the wines can be considerably pricier than other wine merchants in the city (with one chardonnay I compared was $90 at Rosetta and $60 at other merchants in the city; for Red Newt (a NY wine) it was $24 compared to $15-16 at other retailers). You're paying mostly for location and convenience, so do not expect to find a real bargain. I've also recently become an insufferable "wine person," so I ask to try specific varietals or certain regions. When I asked about a Gewurztraminer, preferably from Alsace, I was asked what "an Alsace" was. Needless to say the conversation didn't go too much farther. There are refrigerated wines offered as well (whites, champagnes, etc.). However, when I bought two whites from the rack that the clerk thoughtfully asked to replace from the fridge, my pinot blanc was replaced with a riesling (which I did not discover until I was home). I'm not sure if there is a significant price differential, but I'd wanted to try that pinot blanc. Maybe one day. All in all, this is price, convenience, and alcohol. read more

Good selection of wines. There were a lot to choose from and it was pretty well organized. I enjoyed drinking malbec wines in the past, and not being able to recognize any of the wines, I decided to ask the store owner which one he would recommend. He ended up pointing at all of the malbec and said this is good for each one. I was pretty disappointed at the information that he provided. He basically told me what I already knew. I would not come back for getting any wine, but maybe getting other types of their other goods. read more

This is one of the coolest wine and spirits stores in Manhattan. I wanted a special wine for my birthday. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped choose a magnum of bubbles. My friends loved it. I will definitely be back for more. read more

By far, the wine store I go to most often in the neighborhood, because the customer service is so good. Everyone is always friendly and helpful without being overbearing or intrusive while I'm browsing. The manager Ali is the absolute best -- her recommendations have become favorites that I buy over and over again. Her selections for me are always spot-on, and she always stays within my requested price range -- she is a true rarity! read more

Best store with the best inventory coming in each week... and most reliable staff, customer service and the convenience and hours make this #1 for FiDi especially. Not to mention the safety of the store... this is the only shop I feel comfortable walking into and still having an "in person" browsing experience. Everything is organized perfectly and labeled by region and type, etc. If anyone complains about ANYTHING here, they aren't worthy of the service and amazing wine and liquor products anyways ‍ read more

My husband works on Wall Street and we have shopped here together from time to time but its too expensive and the owner is just a conceited hot air balloon. Expensive and just kids as staff who know nothing about wine or liquor. read more

Sadly, this will be the last time I step into this establishment. Paying nearly $90 for a bottle of Veuve Clicquot when a while back before COVID-19 it was under $60. I understand that Rosetta Wines is expensive because of the location and nothing else but the real issue that caught me off guard beside the increase in price was when I asked the clerk when did it go up in price. The clerk stood there and argued over 5x that it's been that price forever and that a cheaper priced bottle is in the Midtown/Uptown area. Not to start an argument I said that the statement was not accurate and the clerk still stood there and stated it was always that price. For a clerk to feel they have to defend a lie is acceptable especially during these times OR maybe this is the new norm. Rosetta Wines, I may only be one customer that you lost but the integrity would be my bigger concern especially when you have a clientele that lives next door and the convenience is not worth the disrespect. read more

This place is actual robbery for what they offer and they also falsely market available wines on Drizly and then call you to tell you they will send a similar replacement and it's not even remotely on par with what you are paying for. Rip off and terrible customer service. read more

Close by my job, so i shop wines there. They have a good selection and i always find my fav sort of Barbaresco. The staff is friendly, especially the Lady by register, i forgot her name, very helpful and knowledgeable. One of my fav alcohol stores in NYC read more

So expensive... A 1L bottle of Toto's is $35! $39 and change after tax for a lower mid-range vodka... ‍ You can literally go anywhere else in the city and get it for $10 cheaper. read more

Had an A-OK experience here. It was a frigid night and a coworker and I wanted to grab a few bottles of wine to go with dinner. We stopped in here, and they had a solid selection and decent prices. The first staff member asked us if we needed help and was really nice. when we went to check out, though, it was a bit weird. We waited a really long time before we were acknowledged, and then were not addressed at all as we were rung out. The man cashing us out seemed really annoyed to have to do so, because he was in the middle of doing inventory or something. He didn't greet us, thank us, say anything at all to us. I'm all for efficiency so I wasn't offended by it really, it just seemed strange to get such an austere experience in such a cozy little shop. read more

The Rosetta Stone helped mankind decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics. The staff at Rosetta Wines won't help you decipher a French wine label. These are unhelpful people. And the prices are very high even for the Financial District. I guess they survive because of convenience and the Wall Streeters who don't care about price. Don't go here. Instead go to Downtown Cellars at Liberty/Nassau, La Petite Cave at Maiden/Gold or California Wine Merchants on Bridge between Whitehall/Broadway. The people at these stores are much nicer, much more helpful and knowledgeable, and you don't feel like you're being taken to the cleaners. Cheers! read more

They don't honor their Yelp discounts. Came in today to buy a specific champagne for a friend's birthday. Price was about $100, higher here than many other liquor stores. Same bottle was roughly $75 at Astor Wines and Spirits. Thought with the Yelp discount, it would make purchasing the wine here easier, since it's nice to patronize local merchants. I checked in at Yelp and showed the man at the register the Yelp coupon. He said sorry, they can't honor the coupon for the specific bottle...which is marked up way HIGHER than their competitor's. More caveat emptor: policy is no returns, to credit, no exchanges. Not a consumer friendly store. read more

This is a decent neighborhood winery. I used to come here a lot for my wines but I recently had a really unpleasant interaction with one of the workers (perhaps the owner?). I felt that he was trying to start an argument over alcohol by lecturing me in a very condescending tone, like I was some kind of inept child. Look, I'm sure he does have more objective experience and knowledge of liquors than I do, but one rule of customer service is to not treat and lecture your customers like you think they're idiots. Even if you think the customer doesn't know as much as you when it comes to a certain topic, don't scoff at them and insult their intelligence. I was really put off by this experience and it may a long time before I come back for wines. Sorry, Rosetta. :( read more

We went into this establishment for the wine tasting and to purchase wine from Belle Glos vineyard. Although the sign states the tasting is from 6-9, when we arrived at 7 we were informed that the next tasting is tomorrow. I recommended that they remove the large sign out front. I doubt it happened. We took our business elsewhere. read more

I don't know how to pick out wine, so I always ask for recommendations. Staff is super friendly. I was greeted right away and offered a tasting. Quick on their feet and seems to know where everything is exactly placed. Yelp offers a check-in special of 10% off. Even sweeter was that they gave me 15% if I wrote a review. Yep, I would go back. read more

Conveniently located and friendly staff, but the prices are some of the highest in the area and aren't made up for by the ambience or the selection. read more

I've been here many times during the day when I'm rushed. Last night I had time to browse and chat with the poeple at Rosetta. They know their stuff and they are ultra-friendly. I got to taste some spirits which has a tendency to make me come back. Tasted Colorado Bourbon and then a Ginger liquor. The ginger liquor was made in Brooklyn by Barrow. Goes beautifully with bourbon! The selection of bourbons and whiskeys are fantastic. I try to come here as often as I can and I always leave satisified. One of the best in FIDI. read more

What a life saver!! Right around the corner and stays open relatively late considering this neighborhood doesn't have many stores that stay open past 7 or 8. It's small but I guess once you find a couple wines you like does it really matter if all you're trying to do is relax with your cats, Netflix, and popcorn? Yeah no. The staff is really sweet... everyone I met was really nice and helpful. I just wish it were bigger and open until 10 but other than that this is my second home. read more

This wine store is nice but its super expensive compared to all others, they have 1 section of refrigerated wine and they did not even carry Pinot Grigio that was cooled and under $20! They over charge for their wine but everything else is pretty cool, all wine and liquor stores are the same so I can't really give a review on anything other than how the price was not comparable to its competition. Tip: Check in here on Yelp and receive a $1 off coupon, I see why they do it now though, they mark everything up!! read more

Loved it and they have a large selection of wines. Knowledgeable staff to help find the perfect vino matching your preferences and discounts for neighborhood ppl. read more

Love this store!Not only do they have an amazing selection of wines and other liquor,they have the coolest staff!!!The boys inside are knowledgable,fun,and provide excellent service.If you live in the neighborhood,they deliver!But this place isn't only for Fidi locals but a definite go-to!! Thanks Rosetta Wines for making me a loyal fan!!!!! read more

I love this place. Everyone needs a good liquor store, and this place is really there for the FiDi people. It's open late, it's well-staffed, it's clean, organized and always has music playing. On weekends, it's almost like you're walking into a little pre-game session, because there are always people hanging out, tasting wine at one of the counters, just having a good time. I really like the people who work there too - it's a diverse bunch, and they're really on point in terms of customer service. I get complimented on what I'm wearing almost every time I go in there and while I'm sure it's part of the store's sales plan, I don't even care. It's awesome. Who doesn't love feeling like they're a valued, attractive customer??!! Oh, and to top it all off, I recently found out that locals get a discount!!! I'm in love. Why the hell didn't anyone tell me that earlier though?? The only reason I dock a star from this awesome liquor store is because they don't sell any of the uhm..lower end alcohols. Like...the ones that come in plastic bottles. Not that I'm exclusively looking for that, but hey, I'd like to have the option. read more

I've always liked this place because it is close by and they are super helpful when you are trying to find a wine that suits your taste. I love it because they don't just suggest expensive wines they actually suggest the one that they think you will like. Now I love this place even more because they are super dog friendly, they even gave Chewy a treat when I brought her in today...look how happy she is! read more

What can you say about Rosetta? think of something good..no wait, great, and here is Rosetta! Their selection of wines and spirits is very large, with the staff being super friendly and always happy to help and recommend a bottle. They have a tasting almost every day which is fun, they deliver for your last minute wine needs, and it's always a fun experience! Highly recommended! read more

Incredible selection of wines. Rosetta has something for everyone. If you're up to trying something new, they offer wine tastings from 6-8 pm. They are a bit on the pricey side, but hey -- if you live in FiDi you're paying for their convenient location and awesome hours. Open 7 days week. Their staff is very friendly and, although they won't honor the Yelp or neighborhood discount, for those of you in the neighborhood -- Rosetta is a hundred times better than Wall St Wine Merchants. read more

They cancelled my order without notice. I found out a week later because I didn't see any update on my order. emailed support. Looks like they don't care and never reply. read more

It has a good selection wines - some standards available everywhere and also some unusual, harder to find wines like Hentley Park Shiraz. Its a convenient location and an attractive, clean store. The staff are helpful, if not always well-informed. The big problem is the prices, which are about 40% higher than typical "Manhattan prices." So when I see a wine I like for $40 here and I know that its $28 up the road, it seems like greed. read more

Great hours, opened at 8:30 AM! I have been in here multiple times, they do not always have in stock what I wanted, however, I have never been disappointed with their referrals and got what I needed and in the process discovered some great new ways to get that warm fuzzy feeling. Prices are comparable to other stores in Manhattan, certainly not overpriced, it is down-town and very close to NYSE and my office. Everything is higher priced down here. I will be back I am certain many times! read more

Rosetta has become a mainstay in our FIDI neighborhood. The selection of wines is large, and the friendly and helpful staff along with the periodic wine tasting make it a dog-friendly neighborhood hub. read more
