1017 Wines & Spirits

1017 Wines & Spirits is a cut above an ordinary wine and liquor store. It has a very pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The owner is usually working the register and was extremely helpful helping us find liquor to for the perfect spiked hot chocolate recipe.
Wine is certainly the specialty here. More than half of the store is wine, and as a wine lover I can’t wait to discover some new kinds. They have wine tastings every so often which are free to attend. My roommates and I went to one last week where we sampled 4 different Greek wines which were all great. They have the wines there for you to purchase if you find one you really love.
This place doesn’t skimp on liquor, either. They have your most well-​known brands of Rum, Vodka, Whiskey, etc in various flavors. They also have Godiva Liqueur, which I had never seen before but it’s amazing if you want to make dessert drinks! I would say the selection of liquor isn’t as large as some other liquor stores (for instance we were looking for whipped cream flavored vodka but ended up getting cinnamon instead– our drinks still turned out great though). But they totally make up for it in the atmosphere, convenience, service, and incredible wine selection.
I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area, whether you want to make drinks for a party or want a nice bottle of wine for dinner. They also have a loyalty card which gives you 50% off after 10 visits, which I’m sure I will fill up very soon.

This is my favorite new wine shop in Clinton Hill. The store is named after the address which is obviously 1017 Fulton Street.
You can identify it by the awning in front that says POUR. I was greeted by the owner Earl who was very pleasant and helpful.
I recommend anyone in the downtown Brooklyn area to stop by here.
