Exceptional wine store. We live in Brooklyn and come by here to buy wine when we are in the area. Exceptional customer service- Katie recently helped me find a hard to source champagne from France from a smaller producer- she was professional and lovely. Highly recommend.

Great wines with awesome descriptions! I’ve never been to a wine store in the Hudson Valley with so many unique options. This place is great and I always recommend my friends to check it out. They have so many great deals on wine that I find it hard to justify going to any other store.

The selection here is incredible! Go buy the gravner and the Frank cornellisen MAGMA bottles while they still have them!

A really wonderful selection of wines and unique liquors. They are very helpful and kind. Also have great bottles to bring over to friends houses for dinner parties. So grateful to have them in our neighborhood!

I found this shop online during the pandemic and was completely satisfied with the level of service and selection.When I planned a trip upstate I knew this had to be a stop. We went to collect supplies for New Year’s Eve and a man with very cool glasses (and overall style) assisted with picking out the most fantastic wines!We actually back at the end of our trip to pick up a “supply” of the wines he selected and will order more once we run out.I really appreciate the fact that there is a well curated selection of natural/organic and biodynamic wines available that are in a great price range and absolutely delicious. They also carry spirits.I HIGHLY recommend this shop as a stop if you’re traveling or nearby. Excellent service and excellent selection.Cheers!

The best!!! This adorable wine shop has local wines, spirits, ciders and beyond. Just ask for a recommendation and you’ll get something new to try and impress your friends.

We love Kingston Wine! Incredible selection of wines, and the best part is that you largely won't recognize any of them. Their stock feels incredibly curated, and the staff is so knowledgeable. We often rely on their recommendations, and we're always pleased with the wine we end up taking home.

This place is a gem. Michael carries a variety of hard to find wines, with a focus on natural wines. Everyone who works here is very friendly and knowledgeable. If you join the email list, there are frequent deals. Highly recommended!

Not a sweet wine of any kind in the house. Disappointing way of thinking about how wine needs to be. Cute place but that was unbelievable

I live in LA and have admired this shop from afar for so long - I was so happy I had the chance to send my sister who lives in NY a package from these wonderful people. Above and beyond service when the first package I sent got lost by FedEx, couldn’t have asked for a better response, the whole team was so helpful in getting a replacement shipped out asap. Thank you to Matt, and I appreciate all your efforts!

My go to spot for wine in Kingston. I love being on their newsletter, which introduces me to delicious and interesting wine selections. The team is very knowledgeable and helpful. I’m so happy they were able to successfully navigate the COVID landscape with their online ordering and pick up process. A true gem of a local wine shop.

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. I've bounced around between several wine store in the area but now that I've found this one, I'm a customer for life.

Knowledgable staff, nice shop, and a top shelf selection at acceptable prices. Includes a well picked selection of local NY wines and spirits, and the staff knows the background and sourcing of these local wines. A good stop if you are visiting or passing through the area; I'm sure it is also a local favorite.

I loved it! Found wines with history and the service was really good! You can tell they have knowledge about wine, and that for me is the best. When you want to find new wines and you know what you want IS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A GOOD SUGGESTION!

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!

I've been a customer of the Kingston Wine Co. for over year, since shortly after they opened. Michael's 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.

I like the layout of this wine store and there’s definitely a good and interesting selection of wines. Two star review for the lack of acknowledgement as we walked in and lackluster attempt to offer any help. Ever feel like you’re not truly welcome at an establishment?

Staff was super knowledgeable, took the time to help me pick a couple bottles, and to explain wine lingo to me so I can help myself in the future. Overall great experience and delicious wine choices. Thank you

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!

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.

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.

Best wine shop. Picked up plenty of local small brand labels and a German aperitif I’ve never had before! Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great local wine and liquor shop. Very unique selection, reasonable prices and a CSA type program for monthly wine subscriptions. Highly recommend!
