City Wine Gallery

"I agree with most everyone below, that the selection is excellent, but the staff is wholly unhelpful, if not outright condescending. If you know what you're looking for, then great. If you want a little guidance, as many of us do in a boutique bottle shop, then Oak & Barrel is three blocks south."

"Amazing choice of wines from all over the world, every wine that was recommended was spot on and just really great picks. Store managers incredibly friendly and super fun. Definitely coming back and strongly recommend when you need advice for a gift or special occasion!"

"I absolutely loved my experience here. I found a nice gift for my Father and one for myself as well. The guy at the counter (unfortunately I can't remember his name) was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I will definitely come back!"

"whole shopping experience felt racist. let me start by explaining, i am black. i went in to buy a bottle of wine. The guy working asked the only other patron, a white woman, how he could help her. after he helped her he made pleasant small talk. i was still shopping. i couldn’t find the type of wine i was looking for, so i asked him for help, since he hadn’t offered. this type of wine is generally served chilled so i asked if he had any cold and he said “no but luckily it’s cold outside so if you walk fast….” in a not friendly tone. i ended up buying 3 bottles of wine. the worker put them in a flimsy paper bag. i lifted it and felt the twine handle already begin to strain. i asked (politely! apologetically!) if i could have a second bag, since i had to take these on the train. he said “these bags are made of to carry 3 bottles but you can have another if you want….” i said thanks and he said nothing until i left the store. the whole thing was so markedly different than how he treated the white woman thats it’s hard not to feel as if it was a racist encounter. save your money and spend it somewhere not icky."
