    There are several wine and liquor stores in Lake Placid (based on how people seem to socialize…read morethere, there certainly seems to be enough business to sustain several liquor stores....). Of them all, Terry Robards has emerged as my favorite. They have a pretty decent selection of wines for their size, including some interesting and non-typical selections. The people there know the stock well, and when I went on a Sunday and had a question about a purchase and the salesperson DIDN'T know anything about the bottle I was interested in, she called the owner (impressive). They are very friendly - significantly friendlier than the folks at the other stores, based on my experience. And they are very dog-friendly, which I really like. And they give a 10% discount on wines, and 7% on spirits (why they don't just lower the prices, I can't say - I assume there's some reason they do it this way). In any case, Terry Robards has emerged as my favorite liquor store in Lake Placid (and it doesn't hurt that it is in the same small plaza as the Mini Euro Mart, which I love - if you're going to have people over for drinks, you can get everything you need in one stop).

    Great little wineshop with friendly & helpful people working there. Prices are a little high but…read moreit's still cheaper to buy a bottle to drink in your hotel room vs drinking a $14 glass of wine from the hotel bar! The owner's dog was there - very well behaved & has his own doghouse outside!

    You know we looked at this place from across the street & were like, nah, tasting room, whats a…read moresnob like me gonna get there. Well, im so glad some stranger on the street said "u no u want to go in"...he was right. The men running the place, so fricking nice, talked like old friends. The guys had beer & i think a gin flight,but who cares, there was WINE!!!! My flight of 3, all tasty, but I came home with a delicious Vidal Blanc, right up my alley, but there was a red that I also loved, not sure which, maybe the buoy rocker..in any case, I will say that we will definitely come here our next time visiting. The "boat" bar is beautiful. We even got shirts! Trifecta!!! Loved it, and must on your list in Lake Palcid.

    We stopped by this bar/ tasting room on winter Tuesday evening. There we several customers already…read moreinside. The bar area is set up like a boat. They have a variety of tap beers, wine and cocktails. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My friend just ordered a glass of beer that he loved. I opted out to drink since I wanted to eat first and my food was back in the hotel room. I saw customers with different flight drinks with cocktails and wine. I definitely wanted to check out the hot chocolate booze drink and will do so when I return to the area. This is a spot I would like to return and take my time and enjoy some drinks.
