Picked up a 2012 Sassicaia here- this will b our christmas bottle this yr. The price seemed reasonable. Yvonne was very friendly. They also have Tignanello and Ornelaia although both still young.

Stumbled across NK as we just landed at HNL and was pressed for time before our kbbq dinner. Quickly found meter parking off of Smith. Wasn't shocked to find the front door locked and waited a few minutes to be let in. Wendy warmly greeted us and recommended the 2012 Lyndenhurst and the 2012 Husic. Both opened up well after a few minutes in the decanter. Was pleasantly surprised at how affordable she has her bottles priced. Won't be going out of my way if I want to enjoy a decent bottle of wine while on vacation in HNL.

GOOD, SOLID PLACE FOR WINE. Good selection and if you're not a wine connoisseur the woman there is an expert and can guide you to something you might like. I explained to her what I wanted and I enjoyed the bottle she picked out for me. This place closes pretty early ... I think around 5:30pm (earlier on Saturday .. and closed on Sunday) so you'll need to get there early if you're intending to buy some wine for dinner to take to a BYOB restaurant in Chinatown.

So grateful this shop exists and serves the downtown Honolulu community! Especially for the business types, this place has been critical to when clients drop in, events come up, milestones to recognize, etc. and you need to find a nice gift with little to no time... has saved me on several occasions, and they generously offer a discount to those who work downtown. Thank you, NK Wine!

If you can't find your favorite wine here they will find it for you somewhere else now that's customer service.

Small wine shop in downtown with reasonably priced wine selections. Came here to check out their Riesling selection. It was limited but there were a few available. There were a lot more red wines if anything.

I've driven down on King Street past NK Wines almost every single day of 2015. Finally one day this past summer, I wandered into the store front wanting to check out what they have - I was floored by their selection. There was just SO much! After taking it all in, I immediately gravitated towards my favorite wine and Wendy was quick to acknowledge my selection and mention the sister wines from the same makers and vineyard. I was so impressed and chatted up with her about the business and about their alcohol selection. I am so totally taking my boyfriend here when it comes back. It's just wine heaven! The best part is how Wendy is knowledgable and is so friendly to make recommendations and ask what I like to drink or why I like a particular wine. Other wine shops either: 1. Make me feel stupid for even being in there, or 2. Ignore me while I feel the silent judgment as I paw through the various labels. If you haven't been here or are a new wine drinker, definitely come down and chat with Wendy! She'll be sure to help you find something for your taste! :)

Showed up to this place because I went to the Wine & Art across the street. Needed some last-minute liquid artistic aids, and this was the closest spot (didn't plan ahead, but got super lucky!). The lady who helped us was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The selection was AWESOME (wine, whiskey/whisky, assorted other hard alcohol). I gave it 4 stars because the location is a bit out of my usual area of travel, but I will be back anytime I'm in the area and need a drink :)

Great selection and friendly customer service! I was looking for an everyday red and the staff was very helpful. For summer its 15% off! Great location for those who work in Chinatown or downtown.

Wonderful selection of wines and spirits! Wendy has a personality that I'm just drawn to. Not to mention she has Japanese Whisky that seem to be more and more difficult to find as the year goes by. On a few times that I've stopped in I was fortunate to get a taste of something. Of course that leads to me wanting to buy a bottle of it. That's a good thing in this industry right.... hahahaha You'll be pleasantly surprised of the inventory she carries and you'll forget about having to find parking. I've always said that if you have something that's good, people will come no matter what. This place is one of those. Sometimes you don't need all the pretty furniture and large amount of space to draw in the serious buyers. Someone mentioned to me that I should keep this place a secret, but it's too good not to share. If you're one of her frequent customers that buy the good stuff you'll get invited to those more exclusive tastings. Really who doesn't like to feel a little bit "special" or "vip" right???.... Wendy has great recommendations and if you're like me, you drink nearly everything. This place has wine, chardonnay, sake, whisky & whiskey (yes there's a difference because I love my whisky), scotch, bourbon and more. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we do. :-)
