User Reviews for Winfield-Flynn Ltd Wines & Spirits

Wow, an old fashioned retailer in NYC ! They are open to 10PM and later on the weekends They deliver for free and they have wine tastings on the weekends. They have a very large selection of wines both name brands and their personal handpicked selections. The staff is young and vibrant. One saleslady suggested a lovely wine for under $15.00 and she was right on the money. Yes, they have some very expensive items, but I think the majority is very popular priced and the sales clerks seem to know their stuff. They had a wondeful rose for about $13 that was yummy. It is a very busy store, so I assume the wines don't get stale and dusty on the shelf. And they hand out free doggie biscuits. A good reason toget a puppy!
Pros: Service,convenience, selection
Cons: too many items to choose from

I live right near this place and I try to avoid having to buy anything here at all costs. These folks are always mired in their $2,000+ orders from wealthy clients in California and people who are dumb enough to be paying a significant premium to put up with their pompous attitudes. I went in there once asking for something I had read about in The Wine Advocate and they acted as though I were an idiot to be inquiring about such a thing and that it didn't exist.... I don't by any means consider myself a wine expert, but I know the difference between a chablis and a chianti and I also know that I don't need to be paying to put up with people who don't give two cents about retail customers that aren't willing to fork out $200 for a bottle of wine for an everyday dinner... I'm sure they know their stuff - but there are plenty of places in NYC (McAdam Buy-Rite for one) that also know their stuff, have lower prices, and NO attitude about their trade.

I love Winfield. Small space but great selection. Really old school looking. The staff is just so kind and helpful. I love their liquor choices and the manager Patrick knows his stuff. I ask for him everytime. They are open late & usually Patrick has open bottles for tastings. They delivery locally for free and for a small fee if your a distance. Everytime im in the area I buy something for fun. I know whatever is suggested will be great.
Pros: Service & kindness
