Not sure if they'd order something if they didn't have it in the store...I didn't ask. Place is a probably too cool and hipster for me on a regular basis, but hey-it's a nice wine/liquor store in a great location. I'd be back.

Yesterday, I had the worst day, Ever! Plz don't ask. I decided it was an expensive tequila day…read more 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

And this works fine if you're getting off at i87 in Kingston and connect it to Rt28 to head to Woodstock like we've been doing. Wine H. brings a wine focused experience to the Catskills. But don't get it twisted because you do get the Jacks, the Hennessys, Tito's, etc. You will not go wrong. The key draw here (from what I noticed up front) are spirits made in NY state. This space passed my 'cozy' test because on a Friday after Thanksgiving as snowflakes fell in the Catskills. What makes Wine H. even more inviting is its relaxed ambience and approachable service. Our guy was willing and able to help as I looked for a dry Rosé to bring with me since we're staying not far from here for Thanksgiving weekend. This wine spot is a rare gem with an easy-going atmosphere and an impressive selection. Don't knock it til you try it. You won't go wrong.

Instead I noticed a reasonably priced Bordeaux Superieur Le Breton..a French wine for $14.99. Also a trusty bottle of Josh, just in case. The Bordeaux turns out to be really superieur so we put the Josh aside for a rainy day.
