Cork & Bottle Wine and Spirits 501 New Karner Road, Albany, NY 12205

"It had been a couple of years since I last visited this store, but since I was passing it today I decided to drop in to check out the bourbon selection. The store reeked of incense or other air freshener (the kind that people typically use to cover up "smoking" odors). It was almost unbearable. The clerk came out of the back room and pushed by me, never greeting me or asking if I needed help. Prices were high, and even though they have a couple of HTF bottles, they are also gouging the price up to gray market prices on these. I left without making a purchase. The clerk never said a word as I exited by him and made a beeline for the backroom as I was leaving. Obviously my visit was interrupting something much more important to him. Won't be going back!"

"Always a nice service and very helpful with finding the certain drink! I love the point program and the Dogs are my favorite part about it here! Keep up the genuine service!!"

"This is my go to store. The owners are absolutely amazing, and all of the staff in the store are so sweet and kind. They have some of the best prices around and a wide variety for all different budgets; they offer samples and tastings all the time too!!!"

"Loved the old owners. They were so nice and their prices were the best around. New owners upped prices by a lot. Buffalo trace went from $33.99 to $45.99. Blantons went from $64.99 to $114.99. Update: will give them another chance. Stopped in last night to check on prices and they had dropped back down. Buffalo trace 1.75 was $51.99. Great price. Changing rating from 2-4 stars."

"Stopped by before closing and the owners were SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FRIENDLY! My wife was able to find the exact wine she was looking for. I was looking to try something new and the owner suggested a bourbon based off hearing what I liked. We will certainly be back :)"
