Stew Leonard’s Wine & Spirits

Carle Place store is definitely more expensive than the Farmingdale store. Yesterday, I bought a case of wine for $ 10.99 per bottle expecting to get 10% off when you buy by the case. They said the wine was already on sale so no dice. Recently I bought the same wine at the Stew Leonard’s Farmingdale wine store and received the 10% off the case.
I’ll stick with my local wine and liquor store. They give the 10% discount and I’m saving money on gas.

I find Stew Leonard’s a little pricey in comparison to my local liquor store however I love the variety on wine and liquors they carry!
They frequently offer tastings so if you sign up for their newsletter you can keep informed.
The store is in a shopping center so parking is easy. The store is big, neat and organized by types of liquor or wine regions. They always have employees walking around to offer their assistance or give recommendations.
I always look out for special items on sale or gift sets.
I’m in heaven when I walk into Stew Leonard’s. I might need help! LOL

FYI: My receipt states the address as 215A Glen Cove Rd, Carle Place, NY 11 514
So…I have recently moved back to New York and have frequented this place many times with family. Have to say that I love it!
Absolutely a huge selection of wines and liquors. A lover of both, so I can and probably have spent hours going round and round this place.
We came for wine for Thanksgiving and for an event we hosted in early December. Again for office Christmas presents. Back for our Christmas dinner and one more time for New Years.
There was a Portugal wine we took a shine to for New Years. Went back mid-​January to pick up another bottle. The sign was there, but not the wine or a space for it either. So, I asked the staff if it was relocated to another area. They were sold out, but they were also kind enough to look up the information for me.
Helpful hint: Most of the wines are in the $ 8-​$ 10 range. The Portugal red wine we picked up was $ 10, but it was also a 90 point bottle. Best prices are during the Christmas season.

The store is clean & organized. Wines are being tasted daily and they have a wonderful selection. Store hours are Monday-​Thursday 9am-​8pm /​Friday — Saturday 9am-​9pm /​Sunday 12pm-​6pm. They have specialty tastings on the weekends were their distributor reps come in and pour their wines at a discounted price. Yes, they aren’t a bargain store, but they are very competitive on national brands out there. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Very stocked on spirits as well ranging from inexpensive to highly collectible. The parking lot for that shopping can get congested at points, but you can always find a spot. I highly suggest this wine shop.

First visit here ever the other day.
Place looks great ! We have never been in a liquor store that had so much room.
I loved the notated sections like «Wine Under $ 20.00», etc. Very helpful as me and my wife are wine clods ! Also liked the fun «novelty» & gift items as well spread about the store. (I wish I was here before Christmas because we saw lots of stocking stuffers for my co-​workers back at the office).
One thing though — was that a bit of an «issue» was that none of the staff was very helpful. A lady behind the register was too busy unraveling holiday garland to say «Hi» or «Are you ready to check out» or… anything. Another associate went about his business while we look kinda lost in the wine area. A scruffy young lad rang us up and said «Thank you» so that was about as greeted as we got.
I am merely speaking out here to the MANAGER /​OWNER /​DISTRICT MANAGER here (if there is one. Is Stew Leonards a nation wide chain or just a Long Island family owned company– I have no idea). If we were «Secret Shoppers» the review back to Corporate Office probably would have been «fail» even though nobody actually did anything wrong.

Stew Leonard’s Wines had a great selection and wide variety of wines and spirits. They also have a wide price range. You can get some pretty inexpensive wines as well as the stuff you have to store in a wine cellar. Occasionally they have tastings. The staff is very helpful here. I like to come here and buy multiple bottles of wine. Make sure to bring your wine bottle bag. Oh, they give a discount when you buy a car of wine.

I have been coming here for the past couple of years. Since I work close by it’s great to drop in during lunch and pickup some spirits. They have a wide selection of wines and good prices. Also if you sign up for their e-​mail list they will send you specials and events for wine tasting and specialty liquors. These specials usually come weekly and I find myself now visiting weekly also. It’s nice to be able to try different wines at discounted prices to see if you like them and if you don’t, then you know you didn’t pay full price.
Every time I shop at Stew Leonard’s there is so much to choose from and if I am looking for something specific on their ad, the staff always knows what I am talking about and where it is in the store. I am always amazed how they know where everything is.
I just picked up a red chocolate espresso wine. Of course I had no idea where it was so I asked, the employee knew where it was and when I checked out at the counter the cashier commented she had the same at home and how good it is. The staff not only knows where everything is, they know their spirits.
I haven’t been to any of their wine tastings yet but I will be sure to go soon. Stew Leonard’s is successful because they have 2 rules:
Rule #1 The customer is always right.
Rule #2 If the customer is wrong refer to rule #1

While waiting for dinner at Minados, the beau and I decided to check this place out. Super huge with a TON of selection. Staff is very affable! We asked If they had any sake and the older distinguished gentlemen brought us to a colder room where they kept it as well as the more expensive wines.
Prices are comparable to places in Manhattan. You can even purchase a bottle of Louis XIII for a mere 2600! Great place, will return if I’m ever around the area again.

Splendid store. Wished they had some Eastern European wines, though.

Stew Leonard’s Wines is just great! They have large selection of wines & the prices are great! As for their liquor selection, it’s decent. It’s not as big as their wine selection. Their gin selection is not as big as other liquor.
The staff here were pretty polite & friendly.
If you are nearby & need to pick up a bottle of wine or liquor, this place is definitely worth stopping by!

Steeewwwwww Leonard’s. I feel the store’s name needs to be pronounced as a sports announcer would — no particular reason. Just the way I hear it in my head, but they are on top of the game.
This location is, apparently, very conveniently located for myself since I find myself here often. I like to browse around and look at their extensive collection to see what I can add to mine, albeit less extensive collection.
The majority of the floor space is dedicated to wines. I also like that that they sell half and smaller bottles of wine. They also have liquors & spirits which are to your left when you enter the store.
Not everything is a deal so know your prices going in, but often enough you can find a bargain. The staff is unobtrusive, but accessible if you have a question or need help finding a particular item. I’ve never had a long wait to pay, and if need be, you can zip in and out usually pretty quick, but most times you will be browsing through their large selection.

This place is simply… HUGE. You walk in the store and you take in the view. Hundreds of thousands of bottles of liquor and wine. (Ok, maybe that is a bit exaggerated. but you get my point). For the inexperienced shopper or drinker, you’ll get lost and dizzy in here, I guarantee that will happen! The amazing selections and variety here is off the charts!
You have your basic wines: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Port, Dessert, Moscato. And then there’s wines sectioned off by the country of origin: Argentina, Chile, France, Spain, italy, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia, local NY wineries, etc. And then some wines I didn’t know were even available: Organic, Kosher, etc. Plenty of vodka, brandy, scotch, cognac, gin, and other liquor available as well.
From what I’ve seen, prices are very good throughout the store, and whenever you need help or you have questions, there’s always knowledgeable and friendly staff around to help. And complimentary sample tasting every now and then is cool too! Loll
There’s plenty of parking in the lot they share with Minado and other stores in the strip mall. Hours of operation are as follows (From their site):
Mon-​Thurs: 9am to 8pm
Fri & Sat: 9am to 9pm
Sun: 12pm to 6pm
If you’re looking for an awesome wine store, with great prices and amazing selection, look no further! I live in Queens, but I don’t mind making the drive out here to Carle Place, just to shop here. When the zombie apocalypse hits, this is gonna be one of my hideouts. ;-)

This is a big store with all the liquor and wines you can imagine. There are a few workers there, but they do a great job in organizing, stocking, and assisting customers. Prices are reasonable and there is ample parking in their shared parking lot.

WOW!!! This place freakin rocks my socks off (corny line I know) ! It’s basically a discount wine warehouse and its huge with plenty of selection. So much selection I almost felt overwhelmed, they even have a bathroom!
Of course I decided to come 10 mins prior to closing but the staff still let us in and patiently waited for us to make our selection. I chose 2 whites and my friend chose 3 reds. 2 bottles of wine for only $ 15!!! Say what?! I wanted to instantly turn around and search for 2 or 3 more bottles but since the staff was patiently waiting and it was officially 9:10 I decided To just stay put and made a vow to return!
I love this place, you should definitely take the ride up to Long Island or Yonkers and visit. Worth the trip

You don’t go to a store 5 mins before they are closing and make the staff stay late. Its rude. How would you like it if people showed up at your job and made you wait? People have children to pick up and places to be and their time is just as important. People on Long Island have the hugest sense of entitlement possible. So unbelievably RUDE… Place is wonderful, the people that work there are saints for putting up with that nonsense.

Went in for a «pretty» bottle of anything for a picture. I haven’t drank it yet but the staff was very knowledgable and was able to see what I was going for… Not for taste but for my picture. Well needless to say the picture did come out very cool!

Nice selection of bourbon and whiskey. The prices are reasonable, but not everything is a bargain.

I come here often — wide selection of wines and spirits — staff is friendly and knowledgable — you can get wines at a very wide range of price points — I wish they carried more of certain things (Blanton’s bourbon, different sweet vermouths, more sauternes, etc.) — but overall I enjoy coming here and will continue to do so.

They have an extensive Italian selection. Good selection of spirits as well. Prices are good, not warehouse low. Wine tasting I believe is the most pleasant there. All around good store and pleasant staff. They have many wines that others don’t have, but I’ve found they weren’t that great. Would give better score if their featured wines had better quality/​taste.

Why does Nassau Country get all the good stores.
Stew Leonard’s Wines is amazing!
I’ve been to bigger wine stores but what they have at Stew Leonard’s Wines is organized, good quality wine selection as well as liquor? Makes Stew Leonard my new favorite brother from another mother.
I walked in today and noticed wine specials that weren’t panther piss wines for the cheapo customers but thoughtful bottles from major wine regions.
They also have a favorite section of knowledgeable employees who actually tasted and rated their favorite wines? Another plus in my book.
With my browsing today, I bought a nice Bordeaux wine as well as simple California sale wine. Lets see when I get home, I can’t wait to try them!
Stew, we finally meet. It’s gonna be a good bromance. The holidays are coming and I’m gonna need you so gimme those sale prices!

I love this place. The staff is knowledgable and there are tastings on the weekend. Prices are great and it’s good to get a taste if you are in the mood for something new. My pup loves to sit in the cart while I shop and gets lots of attention from the staff. Hundreds of people tasting wine on Saturday Oct 18. Nice party!

Went there today because they sent me an e mail advertising a tasting. When I got there the three people working the tasting were to busy chatting with each other to help customers. Left feeling mistreated.

Many selections of liquor and wine and for a very reasonable price. I wish I could stack up on this, but I don’t have a ride to bring all these goodies back.
