Crown Wine & Liquor

This is a great store with a very good selection, nice people that work there, and good prices.

They always have the goods! & they deliver! What more can you ask for?

Lots of choices, good prices, no attitude. Cheaper than a lot of other stores and friendly.

This place was perfectly located when I needed a cheap bottle of wine close by to the place we were eating at last night which was BYOB.
It’s a solid local wine store. Nice selection wines at all price points and an easy layout clearly labeled to find what you are looking for. One of the staff came by to ask us what were looking for and offered a few suggestions. We looked around in the California wines and found one of our favs, Red Truck. It’s a terrific red wine that we discovered a few years back when visiting some wineries in Sonoma. With a blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot it offers a smooth and tasty finish that goes with any meal, or just for chugging in front of the TV! Only $ 10.
This place is a solid no-​frills wine and liquor shop with a convenient location along all the restaurants along 2^nd Ave. Open late too. If you need a bottle in a pinch for a BYOB this place is a good choice.

A decent liquor store with a convenient location. The prices on some of their items are way too high about 5 bucks higher than Yorkshire. They do have an odd assortment of novelty items. It affords an opportunity to try something new. New thing are a hit or miss but that’s the fun.

This is a great shop. They have wine at every price point. I have found bottles here that I can’t find anyplace else. The owner is really nice and he knows his stuff. Once he knows what you like, he can make recommendations to you. He has never sold me a bottle that I have not enjoyed! I consider myself well versed in wine and I trust the owner 100% to suggest new bottles for me. He does not try to sell you expensive bottles, he is kind and friendly. He told me he just opened a shop on the west side in the 50’s…good to know!

Wine stores on the Upper East Side just love to look pretty, lots of slick lighting and clever decorating. I think that for the most part they are hoping we’ll be so wowwed by the décor, we won’t realize we just paid $ 20 for the equivalent of Sutter Home. Well, not this place. There are no no frills, just a well above average selection of wine and spirits and good, reasonable pricing. The guys behind the register are friendly and helpful. The one time I asked for something they (surprisingly) didn’t have in stock, they called around and had in the store for me to pick up less than 4 hours later on the same day.

I didn’t get the organization of the place. I guess a generic reds versus whites, both sections I found lacking. I’d be looking at the presumably «Cabernet» section for example, and after a step it suddenly bled into another category. Leaves you thinking, «that’s it?!»
I ask for a bone dry German Riesling preferably from the Rheingau and he says «I have just the one» and brings me one from Alsace. I look at him and say «that’s France» and he tries to argue the whole border-​debate bull shit and I point to the label and say, «France.»
Conclusion: it’s aiiiiiite *constipated face*

Excellent Neighborhood Place!
I hosted a party a while back and called up the owner of this shop, told him exactly what was on our dinner menu and he did a magnificent job pairing up wine with each course for us. He was able to stick to the price range that we needed to stay around, and sent everything over immediately.
There is a nice variety.

Strong Suggestions: SEPP white wine with the screw cap (you can have a glass and put it back in the fridge) or ask about one of his sparkling muscato dessert wines. So Good!
