Yesterday, I had the worst day, Ever! Plz don't ask. I decided it was an expensive tequila day. Like I can do a whole lot of damage with that anymore lol. I think I need to date myself tho lol. I'm a very cheap date now. Shh, don't tell anyone plz lol. 3 sips of my expensive tequila & it was suddenly today. Yay! I tried calling a few Liquor Stores, before speaking with Terrence at Merchant Wines & failed miserably. Terrence is a new hero to me now! Honestly, I've tried moving a pic to here. Nope. Part of my crap leftover mood, from past few weeks! Terrence didn't have any problems with me asking him questions about the tequila he had available or Knew about, nor about the Tequila I was looking for. He even Knew about the Mescal I was looking for! It's never available in States! Holy you know what here! WoW! He had none of the Mescal, but spoke with me at length about the Tequila he had. I told him my spending range & he told me what he had & Could Deliver To Me Too! WoW! What a difference A Phone Call makes!!! To a different Store! Add Terrence, et voila! Magic happens! I settled on expensive-expensive Tequila, written twice on purpose here lol. It is, but damnnn is it delish! It arrived within the hour. About 20 years ago I quit drinking. Couldn't stand taste or smells of alcohol! Alcohol is empty calories, just like fake foods. So, I just quit drinking. Wasn't hard, just smelling it on others. Yuck. Sorry. In other words, this was my 1st alcohol in 20 years. Yup. Now do you understand why 3 sips?! But, I did drink outta bottle like a pirate! Fun. Terrence went to trouble of explaining the distillation process of tequila, I was now panting for, to me. Guess he couldn't hear me panting lol. He was not only Professional, he was Kind & Patient! Funny too. I was cussing like a sailor yesterday! I took my fowl (lol foul, I know! Ok?!) language muzzle off! He just said, "Not a problem!" Each time, I apologized for my language muzzle being off completely! A gentleman too! Holy moly-diff word wants out badly now! Nope! I'm serious! He couldn't have been more perfect if he'd tried! Not kidding here! He "warned" me, about how the tequila was processed to be clear. He explained that it might have lost some of its earthy flavors in this process. While I may not have been drinking, doesn't mean I haven't been keeping abreast of Industry! Well, not just abreast lol. Nevermind me plz! Nope! I even called him back after 1st sip & told him it was soo good. Yumm I'd completely forgotten how absolutely lovely numb can feel. Especially for a few minutes! I love being Alive, but, please forgive my language here-You were warned! Life ain't for puzies! I guess unless you're a cat. Pbtt. Numb is ok, if done under my unblinking eyes lol. Well, for me anyway! Terrence man, You saved me yesterday! Thank You Sir! I am indebted to you now. Thank you for your kindness, your time, your efforts & the absolutely perfect tequila yesterday! Thank You Every Day Sir, for your Respectful Kindness towards me, when I was literally falling apart Sir! It's Your Treatment Of Me I Shall Never Ever Forget! Not to mention any future sips of Excellent Tequila I drink. Holy Yumm! Infinite Thanks Terrence! Jolie xx & gratitude read more

Big selection and best prices I've found in the area. The staff is helpful. Highly recommend.

My first stop in town for my wine needs. a great selection and a friendly and knowledgeable staff make this the place to go in town when you need your wine fix. read more

Good selection, very friendly, best prices I've seen in Kingston and excellent featured wines on sale (Italian red lovers, try Amicone). I don't do many Yelp reviews, but when I Googled to find the hours today I found that people are trolling this excellent store. Do NOT believe them. In many, many visits I have never seen a young-girl cashier with a nose ring, and every bottle is scanned (not input by hand), with a full, readable receipt. And the people who work there are completely courteous--including always carrying a heavy case of wine out to the car. I don't know what store those nasty reviews are talking about, but it's not this one. read more

I recently purchased a bottle of alcohol as a gift at this store. After going out to my car and realizing the price seemed off, I returned to the cashier to question the amount paid. The cashier who was a young girl with a nose ring, couldn't give me a reason why I was overcharged by 12 dollars. I can't recommend a place with dishonest people running the register. Be sure to take a copy of your receipt and make sure you aren't overcharged. read more

I love this place. Easy to get in and out of, great prices, easy to find your way around (I've spent 20 min in other wine/spirit shops looking for what I want). Friendly staff .... they always offer to carry out any heavy items like a case of wine for me no matter how busy they are. Don't know what happened with those other two naysayers. Maybe one bad person who I never ran into? Either way, definitely check them out :) read more

I absolutely love this place!!! Staff is super helpful and very knowledgeable. Best prices around.

Great service, workers are always attentive to customers. Pricing is amazing, when compared to other local wine and spirits store.

This place is awesome. Great selection for the small space, and excellent price specials on wine. Spirits tend to be a bit expensive, but not unusually so. And, they have one of the few parking lots of Albany Ave that's not an Olympic sport to pull out of! read more
