Olde Mill Wine & Spirits

We love this shop, the owner and wife are always eager to make suggestions on the pricey or affordable side depending on our budget and mood. We can find good wines, ciders, liquor, and advice and all without a snooty attitude.

Stopped in today for a bottle of red wine. Not only did the person serving me throw my card down on the counter along with the pen to sign my receipt but also recommended a bottle of wine that absolutely tasted horrible. :-(F for service.

We had just arrived in town for the weekend and were lucky enough to come across this shop. Exhausted from the drive and being stuck in Ulster County Fair traffic, we were greeted with a tasting of sauvignon blanc and a recommendation to dine at a lovely bistro nearby. We walked out of the shop with a much better attitude and a nice but inexpensive bottle of prosecco.

Wanting to spread the wine love around, we took our first foray into Old Mill Wine & Spirits located around the corner from Rhinebeck Wine & Liquor. Having two boutique wine/​spirit shops in a small town must be very competitive so one has to find ways to make a business distinctive from its rival.
Old Mill is a lovely shop with a wide selection of potent potables from all over the world. I love that they post maps showing where the wines, etc. come from and even provide recipes incorporating their wines. I have never seen that before. Some of the recipes looked great!
The cutie patootie working there was very nice and looked as if he could be snowboarding the half pipe with The Flying Tomato. :)
A few bottles caught my eye for next time. This was a recon mission and a successful one at that. Definitely will be returning to Old Mill to stock up soon.
