K & D Wines & Spirits

Good wine selection but the staff is not knowledgeable enough to be helpful. So if you know what you want, or even want wine delivered to the Hamptons (they will do it a reasonably competitive prices), its worth it. But if you need recommendations it is probably the worst place. Plus they are generally quite rude. I can tolerate poor manners if the person is extremely helpful and really knows wine, but none of these people know much at all. Actually I don’t get the sense they even drink much wine given their clothing choices. They dress like a $ 9 long island wine for example and have manners like an $ 8 finger lakes wine. All they basically say is «this is good» which is like your basic hack that goes to the museum and says «I like this painting»

The staff at k & d are really good I’ve been a customer for a long time and customer service is excellent

This is a great wine shop which my family and I visited upon their suggestion, which was a great one. The staff are very knowledgable about various wines and I ended up getting a deliciously light, sweet white wine which I prefer to some Rose’s, not typical of me! I got a bottle of La Spinetta Moscato which I quite honestly proclaim as my favorite among other various wines which I tried and I’m eager to find it in Philly, where I’m from. I’d love to have them ship it to me but PA liquor laws are very tight and that’s not a possibility but I am beginning to appreciate all sorts of various wines, perhaps I’m becoming a bit of a wine connoisseur/​snob and I’m so glad that this fine wine shop helps me find what I want!

Young cashier was very rude, not very knowledgeable either.
Wine selection is good, liquor selection is poor, but beyond their products their service is just not good.
Don’t recommend visiting this store when there are plenty other good ones around the neighborhood.

The cashier (girl, young female) was very rude when I was checking out. Sarcastic and very unpleasant experience. will be avoiding this place from now on. Was told that my friend and I needed to present ID, citing it was «the law» and had an attitude about it. no. it’s not the law. It’s your store policy. Don’t lie to me and be rude about it.
«While section 65(5) of the Alchohol Beverage Control Law („ABC Law“) makes it illegal to sell to under-​21s, there is no law requiring a vendor to obtain identification from any customer at all.»
If you want to card everyone, fine. Just don’t tell people «it’s the law», and don’t be rude about.

These people are extremely rude! My advice is simple — take your business elsewhere and spend your money where your business will be appreciated. I went to this store this evening with a friend and her daughter… The woman and man behind the counter told us that we all needed to present ID, even though I was the only one making a purchase. My friends daughter (15 years old) obviously did not have ID, and they told us that unless we could prove she was her daughter they could not sell to us. Really??? These people need to get down off their high horse…

Beautiful new store on 94^th street is worth the visit from all the way downtown! The store is staffed with knowledgeable, friendly people and they deliver to me in Union Square! Richie Klein is so helpful. I trust him to give me great selections based on my budget. He has introduced me to wines I never would have tried on my own. Excellent store, fantastic selection and well informed staff. Yup, I ride the train all the way up just to go there.
Great place

This is a fantastic wine shop that really seeks to serve and educate without being pushy or stuffy. The staff here are all lovely and always want to help you find just the right bottle of wine for the meal and budget I have in mind. I pop in regularly but I have also now starting taking advantage of their wonderful free delivery which has really helped me out when I have had people over and realise I need wine!
Their website is informative and I’ve learnt so much about American wines since moving here from Europe courtesy of their staff. They have a varied selection of wines for all budgets and never make me feel bad for wanting to buy something on the cheaper side! That said, they know what to suggest when you want to treat yourself to something nicer and have not let us down yet.
This is truly a gem in this neighbourhood and I would recommend it to anyone.

The staff here are incredibly rude. When you complain to a manager about the mistreatment, the manager gives you an attitude, too. It’s a place to go if you want your day ruined.

This place has a lot of people on the floor for a wine and liquor store. But, every single time I’m in here I never get a greeting from any one of them. I don’t even get a thank you when checking out. I don’t know if it’s some workplace rule that they should act superior to their customer, but every person does. It’s a very unwelcoming environment but I live nearby so sometimes it’s the only option and I’ll suck it up.
I suggest you take your business to Vinyl on 97^th and Lex. They appreciate your business. K&D does not.

Horrible!!! Ordered 5 bottles of Amarone and 7 bottles of Chardonnay on line. When the order shows up, they shipped Ripasso instead of Amarone. I wrote them an email and they did not call. When I called them, they told me that the price was a mistake on their web site and they would not honor it! So did you think I wasn’t going to notice that you shipped me a different wine? I’m sending back the entire order and will not use them again. Beware!

Sweetbitchwines in the house :-D

I have been in K & D several times alone and with my husband. We are never greeted. We are never helped. We are never even thanked when we make a purchase. Tonight was the very last time I’ll stop in at this store. The guy who rang me up couldn’t even hand me a pen to sign my credit card receipt. I’d rather spend my money on people who want it.
Oh, and the selection isn’t that great.

Great selection and helpful staff. Though I was very disappointed when they didn’t have a port that I had bought there before.

Very good selection of wines, but I give them two stars for the staff. If you know what you want and are willing to take the time to search through the store for it then it’s a good place. If you want to go to a wine store with a friendly and helpful staff this is not the place.

Things I like about K & D Wines:
— great selection (that includes lesser known old-​world wines and up-​and-​coming new-​world ones)
— fairly large selection of half-​bottles
— it’s spacious and organized
— convenient location
— they deliver
Things I’d like to see improve:
— knowledge & attitude/​helpfulness of staff
— they are only open until 8pm and are closed on Sundays

This decently big wine store offers a good selection but is a little pricey. I often go here because there is a decent variety of kosher wines.
The store itself is nice, clean, and organized. Wooden racks house the wines and there are lots of people working so it is easy to get advice. Unfortunately, last time I sent, I picked out a bottle that was under the wrong price and then I had to go back and grab another when it was not in my price range.

The sales staff is always pretty helpful, I don’t know what Corinne is talking about. They have one of the best Bordeaux and Burgundy selections I have seen in the city. Not to mention they have a real Languedoc section, plus a huge selection of half bottles. I live way over on 2^nd and they deliver for me for free. What more could you want?
P. S. I went in there the other night looking for La Bota Sherry, didn’t see any so I asked if they could get any for me. They had a bottle for me the next day!

My parents are loyal customers of K&D Wines, and now that we are past legal age myself and my siblings continue their patronage of this lovely store.
The staff is always friendly and eager to assist and dispense advice if you are having difficulty choosing a specific kind. Their extensive knowledge means that they can recommend different bottles based upon your budget, what you plan on serving it with, and where your and your guests’ personal tastes lie — and they don’t seem to stock any wine that I haven’t enjoyed (and believe me, my parents have gotten a ton of different wine from them during my lifetime). Even during the madness of the holidays, they continue to provide wonderful customer service despite the enormous amount of stress I imagine they are under with all of the customers and large orders they deal with daily. Can’t wait to see what they have in stock now when I go to pick up a bottle or two this weekend!

As I turned the key in the door tonight I remembered from an earlier phone call that there was a birthday package waiting for me just inside! Sure enough, at the bottom of the stairs I spotted a red box addressed to me. I lifted it up, surprised by its heft. No stranger to powerlifting, I hauled it up the stairs noting it’s irregular rhythm as I climbed. After shrugging off my shoes and coat I tore into the package. Immediately, I realized I had struck gold — liquid gold — for the package contained four bottles of wine!
If I hadn’t just come from BEauty at the B. East, happily satiated by the VeeV Açaí cocktails, I might’ve opened one on the spot! With this selection, it’d be hard to choose just where to begin: Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, a South African Pinotage, Châteauneuf-​du-​Pape and an Argentinean Malbec.
Eight days until my birthday and already the accoutrements for celebration are in place!
