"This store has an excellent selection, but it's just overpriced. Workers are unfriendly 90% of the time, and yk, friendly that 10% which really turns me off."

"Friendly shop, three people were helping me at the same time!"

"I bought makgeoli here, but my friends and I noticed it had a weird taste, different from what we knew, and the color was yellower than it should be, so we looked at the expiration date. It was literally scratched out like someone did it on purpose to hide the date. When I went back to store with the bottles to claim, they refunded me in cash without saying anything. I used to go here often, now I am so disappointed and not going here again."

"My wife and I stopped at this store, last Friday, to pick up a bottle to celebrate with family, at dinner. We bought 2 bottles of Nicolas Feuillatte brut champagne, and a 2017 Faust Napa Cab. It was the last one on the shelf, and was sitting vertically. We opened the Faust that night, in great anticipation, only to find it vinegary. I have bought and consumed many Fausts. It is a terrific product and I enjoy it very much. This one is on the merchant. Probably/Most definitely…the method of display. My call? Not to buy any wine from this store. Be warned. Sorry to report"

"Classic bait and switch pricing. On Wine Searcher the item I was seeking was priced between $39 and $55 across 12 stores in the New York metro area. Online this bottle's price at S&A was $41. When I called to confirm availability they said it was in stock. When I asked if I could have a few set aside for pickup, the storekeeper said he had to "look up the price," and after a couple minutes said "we can do it for $59 per bottle." I am reporting this store to Wine Searcher and would urge anyone looking up their offerings online to beware of their shady practices. Response to store owner’s response: “Barrel Proof” was clearly noted on your website listing and you have since changed the listing after our call and my review. The 100 Proof Rye is $23-30 at two dozen stores across the metro area. You did not make a mistake, you simply raised the price."
