I’ve been ordering wine from this company around the holidays for a few years. Each year I spend between $ 5,000 to $ 7,000 on wine for clients of mine. Last year, the owner assured me that all of the bottles I requested were available for delivery. I placed the order thinking all was well. I received a few thank you emails from clients thanking me for the bottle, but they mentioned the bottle they received, which is NOT the one I ordered. I specifically ordered a $ 40 bottle as my lowest cost bottle, and my highest was $ 125. One of the addresses came back invalid and the bottle was sent to my office as the return address. Instead of delivering the bottle myself, I decided to open it, and once again the bottle was NOT one of the bottles I ordered. I looked up the value of the bottle on and it was being sold for $ 10! I was absolutely furious and felt completely taken advantage of. I called the owner and he said«sorry we ran out of the bottle you ordered, but we substituted with another bottle that’s equally as good.» When I called to voice my displeasure, he admitted his wrongdoing, but I still to this day do not know how many $ 10 bottles were sent in place of $ 40 bottles. The owner or manager said he would send me the right bottles, which he never did. This place is corrupt, and needless to say, I will never order from them again. Unless you walk in the store and physically buy a bottle, I wouldn’t trust these guys. I used this year as their prices are very competitive and they offer free 2 day shipping nationwide. This year the clients thanked me for the RIGHT bottle. Sticking with from now on.

I happened to stop by this place this last weekend. Apparently I just missed its grand re-opening event the Friday before where the mayor showed up for it as well. If I am not mistaken, they have been around for a couple of years in this area. They do have an interesting selection of imported wine. I was warmly greeted by Benjamin C. upon entering the store. The space is not big but it is indeed very elegant. Benjamin then immediately offered me to try this red wine that he recently purchased. He said it is very smooth and I took his words for it. Normally I don’t like red but this particular red was really good. It wasn’t dry at all. He then offered some recommendations with similar texture and taste. I got a sparkling red that is imported from Italy. It was super delicious and I could keep on drinking it all day! At the time, they are also doing some promotions. I think you get either 10% or 20% off on the selections with yellow stickers. When you buy 3 of the regular ones, you get 5% off, if I am not mistaken. Benjamin was really kind even though it seems like he is fairly new here. But I am sure I will be back!

I was looking for wine stores in the vicinity and AOC came up on the top of my list. I went there and was certainly not disappointed as I am myself a wine aficionado. It’s a well-stocked store that’s warm and inviting. When it came down to it, it was Benjamin that helped us out in a big way, providing recommendations that work with my preferences. He also mentioned that we missed the grand re-opening by a couple days which happened on Fri 11÷14÷14. It’s a big deal, since the mayor was here for it! Oh well. One thing to note though is that you won’t find mainstream labels in this store, however don’t let that dissuade you from going there. There is a wine bottle for every budget and from all the regions/appellations you’ve come to know and love. They often have tastings of certain wines they’re featuring. Nice! They often have discounting on bottles that have yellow stickers on them and of course discounts on 3, 6, and 12 bottle purchases. Definitely an accessible and fun place to check out for your wine needs near New Roc City.

I’ve been passing this place for they past year or so but never got the opportunity to walk in. It’s totally different from what we had in mind. I thought it was going to be your typical run of the mill wine shop that stocks yellow tail, sutter home and beringer but it’s not at all!!! These guys stock some amazing wines that are not readily found in stores. We bought two bottles earlier In the low 20 dollar range after the gentleman at the store helped us with our selection. We cracked open the Malbec as soon as we got home and were blown away. Their checkout system is also quite sophisticated in the sense that they use iPads and have the ability to track your purchases. For the whiskey heads like myself… They have an incredible selection! Just to name a few… Ardbeg, laprohaig and some special edition jack Daniels… I wish your hours were more convenient, but then again… You guys are on a different level. I’ll be coming here much more often.

We just adorable AOC– it has been the only wine shop we frequent while living in New Rochelle, and to learn they have a sister shop in Old Greenwich where we will be moving… makes up beyond elated!
