Chambers Street Wines

I’ve been going here to buy liquor for dinner parties, house warnings, and to expand my personal collection for 5 years. Let’s all agree that bottled booze is a commodity so the value in a place like this is curation and knowledge. Every time I go here I have no idea around what to buy and look for recommendations and every time the staff delivers. It’s worth the premium. I will also say that the selection is excellent, a good combination of staple names and rarer liquors that everyone can appreciate. It’s an institution in Tribeca that everyone should experience.

I recently purchased a number of vintage Barolo reds from the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s. The staff was more than helpful, the wines generally were good and the service was impeccable.
In particular, Ariana was not only helpful but so accommodating on my first experience with the company that I continued purchasing more wine from them. Kudos to her, she was simply outstanding.
Jaime Wolf has been so helpful and of course knowledgeable that I will continue to be their customer for years to come. I highly recommend this store! They are straight up honest.

An abundance of knowledgeable staff — you rarely have to wait or walk more than 10 steps to find a member of their team. These guys are true wine geeks but are totally accessible!
Loads of small and rarely seen producers of organic and biodynamic wines. They have multiple new offerings with great descriptions on their site.
The prices! Yeesh. Just so great. This is truly a grown-​up candy store. I know I sound like I work here. I don’t…I am just a huge fan.

This is THE store for natural wines in NYC. If you aren’t experienced with Natural wines you should stop by for a crash course. The staff is incredibly attentive and easy to look at /​winky face.

Great wines and bug store. Prices a little much but its tribeca it is very convenient as it is right next to my house and they also do a lot of wine tasting

I don’t drink wine so when I had to buy a bottle as a gift I was a bit lost. Not only was it a gift but the gift was part of some sort of game the host was playing. The wine had to begin with a specific letter and be in a certain price range. The young woman who greeted me was sooooo helpful! She showed me several bottles that met my criteria and even gift wrapped it for me.

This is the best wine store in ny, the staff is very enthusiastic and educated in natural wine and not pretentious at all. The tastings are a great opportunity to try portfolios of importers and overall get into the scene of natural wine in new york.

I like this place! I always get jealous when I see people walking home with their little green bags, knowing they have a delicious treat inside. Word of caution, though: it’s always busy.

Chambers St. Wines is a magnificent wine shop and more. They also can very hard to find spirits and amaros. The shop has a very interesting selection of Jura wines and wine from Southern Italy which are my personal favorites. Very honest and knowledgeable staff. The wines are priced well and it is my go to place for small producers and the more esoteric wines. Courteous, considerate and more than happy to help in any way.

Yes — finally! A small intimate wine store that sells decent European wine under $ 15. A must have for a girl that works at a non-​profit, lives in Manhattan, and drinks more wine per week than she should. And yet, a very rare finding in this city full of wine stores. Now if only they were a mile closer… on second thought, probably better they’re not.

Very helpful (and young) staff that provides what I will give a rave recommendation. I was looking for a robust, spicy, full bodied Red to pair nicely with a new brie I picked up for the evening. OH BOY was I pointed in the right direction! Lifting up, and scanning (with my Vivino wine app) what later on proved to be an exquisite bottle of Montepulciano D’Abruzzo; I made contact with the handsome label. No stranger to this wine (my family comes from an area close to the Abruzzo region-​REPRESENT), I was skeptical to buy, because this blend has not always been so good to me. After Santa’s little wine helper gave me other recommendations, I went with his first choice; as I wasn’t in the mood for fruity Bordeaux (which he also so kindly recommended). He knew his stuff, was polite, helpful and attentive.
Although I did spot some expensive ($ 400) bottles of wine on display, there were also very affordable and high quality selections available as well. I encountered some labels that I was having trouble finding in my usual liquor store, in addition to the brand new and attractive Italian Reds that I had never seen before. Will absolutely be back soon!

If you are looking for biodynamic, organic, Louis/​Dressner, rhone, or helpful suggestions on producers from around the globe making interesting wines, then this is the best store I’ve found in the city for those things. Prices are also reasonable for NYC. They also have an interestingly curated selection of hard liquors. I’m not sure I understand the snooty comment in some reviews. The people who work here are wine nerds, not cruise ship directors. Maybe they are a little shy and reserved, but when engaged they become extremely knowledgable and helpful. You just might learn a thing or two in the process of purchasing your wine.

People here are let’s just say use to the snooty crowd. If you don’t look (literally) like you could afford to be in tribeca they treat you like you have the plague. I found on the phone they were nice enough but in person they were bias and not genuine. More than one of the shopkeepers have made me feel unwanted over the. 4 .5 yrs I have lived in tribeca which is annoying. Of course if your their type then your treated with respect like all the regular yodels do who rarely experience bias due to race or prejudged money and or class.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Needed to get gifts and I was happy with their recommendations. Their store also has a wide selection
.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that will navigate your palette to find the best liqurrs your wallet can afford that you won’t often find in other liquor stores. They specialize in finding unique liquors in NY and I often find myself there looking for new batches of whiskey brands that other liquor stores do not carry.

I don’t always shop for wine, but when I do, I go to chambers street wines. They always seem to have the wines that I’m looking for than I can’t find anywhere else. This place has more of a bookstore vibe than a wine shop, which i like. the customers that come here know their wine, so I got a great recommendation from one when they ran out of the wine I was looking for. The staff is great, friendly and knowledgable. They have a variety of wine with a variety of prices.

It’s a small and cute liquor store. I was in the area, on my way to a restaurant with an awesome BYOB policy with a few friends. So we stopped by Chambers Street Wines, hoping to find a nice magnum bottle of wine for about $ 30. But it turns out that their magnum bottles start off at $ 50 but oddly enough, their regular sized bottle of wines start at $ 7-​$ 10. I think this price discrepancy is a bit odd.
But other than that, the staff was very welcoming and all seemed knowledgeable.
Again, it’s a small space so be careful not to knock anything down!

Really a fantastic store with unique and hard to find wines… Staff is truly helpful, and free delivery to Brooklyn for a $ 200 purchase. Tastings all the time too!

So far, this shop suits my needs better than any of the local competition. It is almost always in my path so, it will be difficult for the other to crack the code and capture my wallet share.
They have informal tastings. They offer advice on wine and spirits. The inventory is extensive. In the spirit section, they have some unique and high quality products.
They are friendly and/​or informative.
Ironically, I write a shorter review of the ones I like best.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff, coupled with a tight but excellent selection of wines and liquors. I’ve only been a few times, but every time a member of the staff finds me and advises me on what to buy. Their liquor selection is small, but selected with great care. This was evident when I recently asked for Tequila, the guy helping me said «Well we have about 4, all of them are amazing» I got only 1 but it was indeed amazing. I’m not a big wine drinker, but my wife is slowly turning me on to it, so I think I’ll become a regular here. It’s a welcome alternative to some of the either snooty or ignorant places I’ve experienced in the area.
