4 reviews for Wine Library
ectuohy27 (4), , does not count - explanation | | December 7, 2009 A wine store (shockingly, considering the name) with a beer sideline. Way overpriced, but considering that Millburn is across the street, this shouldn’t be surprising | dbzzz1 (2), New Jersey does not count - explanation | | July 19, 2009 This place is a beautiful large building located right on the Millburn/Springfield border. Wine Library has a fantastic wine selection but a somewhat mediocre beer selection. Every time I visit the wine library I am repeatedly asked by employees if I need help. It is a very friendly atmosphere with an incredibly knowledgeable staff. I have found that the salespeople are generally more knowledgeable about wine than beer, but if you get the right person, you can have a decent conversation. I have found that many of their craft beers are a bit pricey but not to such a great extent if you are looking for a quality brew. The great thing about this place is that all beers are kept cold. They have a small seasonals section that consists of a small rack of about 8 or so beers.
Bottom Line: convenient location, helpful staff, decent selection, a bit overpriced | SpearChugger (7), , New Jersey does not count - explanation | | January 23, 2009 Wine Library is a big beautiful store in Springfield. The store is located on Morris Ave, which makes it a pain in the ass to get in and out of. Thats the good news, the bad news that it’s not called the Beer Library. The selection was pretty average, the prices weren’t great, and there was very little customer service in the beer section. The owner of the store did however help me pick out a bottle of wine that he said was "highly rated" by him. I wasn’t impressed by the store’s beer selection nor was I impressed by the wine recomendation. I failed to see what all the fuss was about! | | HoppityHop (49), New Jersey | | March 6, 2007 [ Updated September 13, 2007 ] Stumbled upon this place today, and had never even heard about it. Never saw any ads in Ale Street News, Mid Atlantic, etc. Anyway, it’s right off Rt. 24 and very easy to get to. This upscale wine emporium is beautifully kept and takes up two floors! Unfortunately, only 1/3rd of the first floor is dedicated to a moderately sized, beer selection.....however, everything (yes, everything) is kept cold. Great Divide, Stone, Southern Tier, Oskar Blues, Lancaster, Cricket Hill, Victory, Saranac, Smuttynose, Weyerbacher, plenty of imports and many more, all very well represented........and at very reasonable prices. Worth the trip. (Update: It looks like they’re clearing out their beer section.......lots of empty spots in the fridge, and a big rack of "clearance" items that were priced literally pennies less than what they were before marked for clearance........I guess the uppity-ups in the neighborhood don’t like beer in the least.) |
