This is a true gem of a wine store with character, panache and creativity in every nook and cranny. I love walking in to the store with Theolonius Monk playing in the background, one of the proprietors favorites. Owner Michael Drapkin is passionate about wine, wine growers and techniques and often invites you to try new discoveries right in the store. He seems to magically know if you want to be left alone to browse or would like some assistance . While there is a strong representation of French wines culled from his living and working in French vineyards Michael revels in grapes from anywhere with a strong penchant for sustainably raised and local. A small but beautifully curated selection of spirits is always a pleasure to review and purchase. Make sure to get on the mailing list or even better join the monthly wine club and get 2 bottles each month curated by Michael with beautiful descriptions and yummy food pairing suggestions.

This is THE place to get wine and liquor downtown. Michael and his wife are friendly, knowledgeable and not at all "snooty!" They make great, reasonable recommendations and will turn you on to wines you might not choose on your own. They are also happy to place a special order, like I did recently with some rum I needed for a cocktail. He had to order half a case to get me my one bottle...and did so without hesitation! They host several wine tastings so, check those out. They also have a wine club that I hope to join soon. Sounds fun!

Ive been a customer of the Kingston Wine Co. for over year, since shortly after they opened. Michaels knowledge and passion for wine make this store unique because a visit to the store is like having a personal Sommelier. This is not hyperbole -- that is the experience you will find when you go to the store. The monthly wine-share is a great value, and a lovely way to be introduced to wines you might not have otherwise experienced.

Superb, well-curated shop. Owners are extremely knowledgeable and have impeccable taste with no pretentiousness. Nice selection of $15 and under bottles featured on a table in the center of the action. Essentially a great neighborhood wine shop, ala Brooklyn, plopped down in the Rondout.

Michael is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He has the memory of an elephant. Once he knows your taste profile he will suggest consistently great wines. Ive bounced around between several wine store in the area but now that Ive found this one, Im a customer for life.

Great vibe, great wine. Bright welcoming wine shop in the Rondout area of Kingston. Friendly knowledgeable staff area always on hand but never pushy. The space is bright and easy to navigate. Year round events, so check out their website!
