Ester Wine and Spirits

A pleasant experience purchasing wine while walking through the stockade district. They offer a wide selection with a varied price point to fit any budget. Some interesting varietals from underrated grape growing regions. Employees were very personable and knowledgeable. Will be back again!

This is one of my favorite wine stores! The owner is super chill and his employees are helpful. They also stock great wines you don’t see at every other wine store. Prices are extremely fair and keeps me coming back. I’d highly recommend people to come shop here

The selection of wine and spirits is unparalleled in Kingston. I knew I really liked this place when I met the owner, Robert. He and his staff are fantastic. Kingston is lucky to have a shop like this!

Great selection of wine and spirits, it's our go to place. Really good bang for your buck here, nice selection of high-quality wines for 10 to 20 bucks a bottle, and always some great and sometimes interesting spirits. Plus they have a wine class and regular tastings

Amazing unusual sophisticated selection of wines and spirits. Knowledgeable friendly owner and staff. Great events and free monthly classes. Just a way find in Kingston NY.

Great place! The staff are always extremely helpful and are extremely knowledgeable. The selection is second to none, with something for every price range. Highly recommend them!

They really know there stuff here! High quality products at respectable prices. If you are not sure what you want....ask them! Staff is great about helping you find what you want.

5 stars for being open when JK's isn't. Great selection of wine and whiskey, slightly higher prices but well worth it.

THE wine shop in Kingston. Everything else is either Cavit behind armored glass or radical wines from another planet.

Stopped in here on a recent trip up to Kingston. Very cute little store right in Uptown. Not a big selection of wines, but very nice options for the currently popular whiskeys, bourbons and tequilas. Place is a little pricey, but they have some great stuff. Not sure if they'd order something if they didn't have it in the store...I didn't ask. Place is a probably too cool and hipster for me on a regular basis, but hey-it's a nice wine/liquor store in a great location. I'd be back.

Incredible selection of minimal intervention wines from all over the world as well as excellent spirits. The owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with picking out the perfect bottle for you! Don't go to Kingston without stopping by Ester!

Walked in w BF knowing exactly what we wanted as it was in the window and were therefore excited to find something we had discovered a couple of months ago. The fellow who opened the door for us and subsequently left was friendly, but the woman at the checkout was soooo unfriendly, disinterested, and rude for no reason we could fathom as we were excited about our purchase. So bad, debated not making purchase. Perhaps we shouldn't have asked for a bag... Won't be back as much more helpful and friendly options in area...

Tonight we went to the Spanish white wine tasting. What a wonderful presentation. The owner and his wife had maps with the wine regions and foods to compliment the wines. It was fun learning about the wines and meeting new people in the area. I like going to businesses where I feel like I'm not just anther face. The owners are kind and knowledgeable. I am always greeted by friendly staff and look forward to going back to trying more wines. Thank you!

Great wine selection and friendly service. This place is everything you'd expect. The space is welcoming and the selection is amazing. They also host wine classes and tasting that bring people together who enjoy wine and the history around it.

This is a nice local wine spot that has free tastings every Fridays and Saturdays! We came in and tried some sparkling cider (yum) and red wine. We ended up getting the iced cider (nice 'n sweet) and some whiskey to go!

VERY Helpful in choosing wines or anything else. Attractive shop. Good selection I assume..... I do not know that much... I am not an expert on wine and liquor. They seem to have lots of local brands which is terrific.

Robert is an expert and his selection of wines and spirits is impeccable. Great friendly space for discovering wines.

Lovely little shop with a knowledgeable owner. He pointed us to some interesting wines that are a bit outside the mainstream.

A great shop. Robert runs a neat shop that you'd expect to find in cobble hill or park slope. Interesting selections, fair prices, and a perfect addition to the burgeoning uptown scene.

beautifully curated. this is my go-to place for any wine/spirits. they have all the best craft, hard to find, liquors. it is absolutely like a candy store for grown ups.
