Sorso Wine Boutique

Cute boutique with a variety of wines. The prices are reasonable, and they take cards. My only issue is that when I visited the staff was not familiar with vegan wines. The person working there kept telling me, «our wines are made with grapes.»
They need to get a little bit more educated when it comes to questions like this. Of course, I was not talking about grapeless wines; I was talking about the process from the grape to the bottle.
Their bag are cute too.

Fantastic, hidden gem of a wine store. The selection of wines is super curated and when I was last in there, it just so happened that one of the sommeliers from TriBeCa Grill happened to also be in the store and overheard him saying that they had a really interesting selection with some very obscure wines. The owner is from Italy and knows her stuff so I trust her completely and have never been disappointed.

It’s lit like a third world country hospital /​not very inviting of the bat
they have a very limited wine selection oddly double spaced and it even repeats itself when you walk to the back wall /​or foosball table (why is there one in here anyway?)
the service is always awkward /​there always a bored looking girl watching netflix or talking on the phone and not once have i ever received a verbal welcome .
the no eye contact /​no ‘let me know if i can help you’ approach is off putting
there’s too many other wine shops within walking distance for this place to be this bad
also, the prices … these are pretty cheesy commercial wines that are way overly priced /​this is not small vineyard type stuff — you can find these at a liquor store (and even there they will probably be friendlier and more inviting (even with the bullet proof glass)
if you want wine and someone to actually assist in picking a bottle, check out breuklen wine cellars on nostrand or bed-​vyne on tompkins

I love this wine boutique, it is conveniently two blocks away can’t get any better than that (:

I’m so thankful to have this great shop across the street. Will never go anywhere else to buy wine again! Great selection and a range of prices for any occasion.

Walked in to be welcomed by a cute little dog! The woman working there gave me space to do my own thing, but when I had questions she answered them. Picked up a bottle, and she switched it out for a bottle from the refrigerator. Took it home and enjoyed it that day! I’ll definitely go back.

If you know me, you would know that i greatly appreciate a bottle of wine on just about any night. Sorso is a great provider of such bottles. A little puppy greets you at the door with a friendly hello from the woman behind the counter. While the prices are of course higher than the neighboring big brands liquor store (Rands), nothing beats a good bottle of wine with a nice home cooked meal. I have seen signs for tastings but I have not had the pleasure of being around when they are actually occurring. Hopefully soon though!

Sorso is a really great wine shop. Their selection is not huge but it is really smart. Danillia (sp?!) is really good at listening to what you want and helping you find it without pretense. When I was looking for a particular grappa, she even tracked it down and brought it in the store just because I asked. That is great customer service!
Super reasonable prices and so much nicer than some of the liquor shops otherwise available on Bedford Avenue.

A blessing on Bedford Avenue. Sorso is a great wine store along a strip that is improving but only contains liquor and corner stores. The selection is well curated and prices start around $ 10, so very wallet friendly. The two times I’ve gone in the woman behind the counter was very nice and made great suggestions. There’s even a shaggy pup that hangs around (he doesn’t have anything to say about wine but he’s very friendly.) I believe they hold tastings every now and then also. A great addition to the block.

I’m not sure why Unilocal doesn’t show this store in my search for «Wine, Bedstuy 11 216»
I even typed in Bedford Ave. It wasn’t until I zoomed in on the map to a 4 block radius it popped up. I knew it was there somewhere and just wanted to ring them for hours. What gives Unilocal?
This place is good and will have something for everyone. I think they even have some nice liquor towards the back if memory serves (i’ve only been in once)
Anyway its a decent wine store and there aren’t many in the nabe. So go.

Recently, I had been having trouble finding a wine shop nearby that has wines that really punch my palate in the face.
I found it at Sorso.
I went in on a recommendation from a wine seller friend, and was not disappointed. They have a well-​curated selection of some fantastic tasting wines. I went in to browse, left with two nice reds, one Italian, one French. The staff is friendly, the air conditioning works, and the wines are so good. I’ll definitely be going back.
