Liquor Stores in Rhinebeck, NY

“We love the wine tastings at the Bottle Shop at Astor Square! With local wines from Milea Winery and discoveries from Australia, we always find something good there. Emma is super knowledgable and helpful. ? A Rhinebeck gem! ~Becky Tyre, Retail Details”

“Quite a variety of quality wines from diverse wine regions. Though I've experienced quite a few over my years, Can't wait to explore more here. Tried a decent Governors Bay (NZ) Sauvignon Blanc and we enjoyed it. Can never go wrong with NZ wines. Old style shop ambience was pleasant too.”

“If you are shopping for wine, THIS is the best shop in the area. The owner is a very knowledgeable wine connoisseur, whose expertise can help you select the perfect bottle. When the owner is not present, an elegant young man runs the store with an extensive amount of knowledge of wines, well versed on the regions & types of grapes, who can spurt off a quick summary of each wine, and help you choose something perfectly specific to what you like. I have gone into this shop, and wirh very little info from me about what I'm lokking for, both individuals helped me to select wines that became my favorites. Both assist shoppers with a friendly, easy going tone, while being so thoroughly educated , that it makes picking up a bottle, a nice, no pressure, easy experience. They have excellent excellent wines that are low price point, along with mid price point, as well as some of the finest most high end wines. Currently I'm enjoying an affordable bottle of cotes du Rhone that I never would have chosen without the help of the gentlemen working at the store. In addition to wines, the store has all the spirits you may need , minus the gross , hangover inducing, and college party worthy liquors that would ruin the classy aesthetic of this wonderful shop.Basically, the offerings of this store fit w the vibe that the interior and the owner have created, a CURATED selection of what you want to be drinking this evening, or bringing to your next dinner w friends.I noticed there where a couple bad reviews, one was prices high- no not true, they have some amazing wines for around $10-$14. They also have the regular liquors at their regular prices. No they don't sell low end barefoot $6 bottles of wine. But ew gross that Would ruin the integrity of the shop.Second they mentioned bad customer service and this couldn't be more wrong. As many positive reviews state, customer service is exactly why the local clientele keep coming back. These reviews of poor customer service e were prob just salty or offended after they came in asking for big box brand cheesy wines like "sutter home" or gross liquors like Jim beam.maybe these people felt out of place when the owner couldn't help them find "yellowtail".When I step in this store, I'm not stepping into some generic big box liquour store and wanting to grab and go because the store & experience of wine/alcoholic shopping feels "ick"... rather, I'm stepping into a classic asthetic of historical wooden shelving, beautiful bottles, and I feel like I could be in France, or Italy, last but not least, the owner and his gentleman staff member respect and love wine, and you want to support a privately owned business like that when you are buying wine.r”
