Do you know Rye Brook Wine and Spirit Shop?

Your impressions/experiences are sought. TIA

I’ve ordered ~200 bottles from them since 2011. Only had one problem on a mis shipped order that was resolved to my satisfaction. Their pricing can be very good but s/h costs on the high side.

I recently purchased 2004 Grande Annee. No problems, arrived in excellent condition/packaging to SF.

Purchased from them only twice, but everything was fine and they seemed like a legit online retailer.

They have great pricing for non gray market goods. This is where I buy Skurnik’s wines, mostly German Rieslings. Their web price is different then their store price so I rarely go to store. (they do free deliver in Westchester county.)

Wine prices good, shipping prices not good.

All very helpful. Thanks everyone

Tiny store front (with much higher prices), and a seemingly enormous online selection with excellent prices. Makes me wonder if they possess in hand all of the wine listed on their website, or if the website shows what their distributors have (like some online outfits do)?

Either way, I’ve bought from them 2 or 3 times and was a happy customer.

solid reputable shop.
not sure of shipping costs because I pick up in store.
and fwiw, they will give you the online price of any wine if one happens to stumble in and shop.

No, but I do know the muffin man, who lives in Drury Lane.

They are a very good store.

FYI: the last few times I have been to the store to pick up an order the store prices were the same as the online prices.

I know the owners personally and they are good guys. No issues at all buying from them.

I think they did recently change their policy to have the store and internet prices be the same.

I shop there a lot as it’s an easy drive from my house. They have indeed abandoned the policy of charging different prices in-store v. online. Still, the store itself is not that impressive (compared with, say, Zachy’s) but the prices are rock bottom low. I tend to buy ~6 cases at a time and then drive to pick them up. 30-45 minute round trip, totally worth it.

Not too familiar with NYSLA regs but isn’t having different pricing online illegal?

Not sure, I’ve found it to be a common practice around here, though. The difference can be substantial. Which is why I try to always buy online and then pick up, the savings can be tremendous.

Highly recommended. I bought several cases this year and the transactions, communication, shipping and pricing were all fantastic.

Now you sound like Roberto. neener

LOL! Roberto knows the Muffin Lady!

I had a couple of excellent transactions there as well on some nicely-priced Glantenay Volnay 1ers, good folks to work with. Is $18 to ship three bottles ground (east coast) expensive? Maybe a little but not terribly i.e. I’ve occasionally paid more than that to ship one when I really wanted something.
