📣 A Big Update from The Wine Store
After 10 years of running The Wine Store as a full-time retail shop, I’ve made the tough (but ultimately exciting) decision to close the store in its current form. The last day of regular retail hours will be Sunday, August 10th.
Running a full-time brick-and-mortar shop in Marlboro has been a labor of love, but with limited foot traffic and high overhead, it’s time to evolve. The Wine Store isn’t going away — it’s shifting into something smarter, more focused, and just as passionate about good wine.
Here’s what’s next:
🍷 Online Orders Continue (With Even More Perks!)
For those of you who already shop with us online — nothing is changing. In fact, expect more: more emails, more offers, and more curated selections from producers we’re excited about. We’ll still offer in-store pickup and keep our local wine community well-stocked and well-informed.
🕰️ Limited Shop Hours + By Appointment
We’ll maintain limited hours for pickups and casual browsing, plus offer private wine appointments if you’re looking for something specific (or just want to talk wine).
📚 Wine Classes Starting in September
We’ll begin hosting small, hands-on wine classes right here in the shop — focused on tasting, terroir, and giving you the tools to understand what’s in your glass (and why it matters).

To the Marlboro community and the greater Hudson Valley:
Thank you.
Thank you for every bottle, every conversation, every toast. Your support over the last decade has made this little shop something really special.
This isn’t the end of The Wine Store — it’s a new beginning. Same passion, same commitment to good wine, and a lot more flexibility.
If you have questions, want to stock up before August 10th, or just want to say hi, come by we’d love to see you.
With deep gratitude and plenty of wine still to come,
Joe
The Wine Store
