Black Bear Wine & Spirits

Small liquor store. Small variety of all liquor items. Prices reasonable.

Alright, folks, let me tell you about my latest visit to Black Bear Wine and Spirits in Greenwood Lake, NY. After a few, let's just say, 'learning experiences' with the law, I've become pretty particular about where I pick up my drinks.

This place? It's got what you need. Selection's solid – comparable to other stores around Warwick. Whether you're into wines, spirits, or something else, they've probably got it. The Santa Margarita Pinot Noir is a bit on the pricey side at $29, but hey, they've got other options that won't break the bank.

Now, the staff here – top-notch. I was in a rush to meet some buddies, and it was near closing time. The lady there didn't rush me or anything. Even offered a bag for my bottles without charging extra. That's rare these days, trust me.

Store's layout is straightforward, clean, well-lit. But let me give you a heads-up about the parking lot – it's a bit tight. My ride's not huge, so it was fine, but just be mindful if you're driving something bigger.

Here's the deal – if you're driving down 17A, this spot is worth stopping at. But, and I can't stress this enough, watch your speed around Greenwood Lake. Cops here are on the ball, especially at night. They're always on the lookout for speeders and folks who've had one too many. I've learned my lesson the hard way, so take it from me – slow down and stay sober behind the wheel. This store's great, but it's not worth the risk of running into the law.

In summary, Black Bear Wine and Spirits is a solid choice. Just remember to play it safe on the roads, folks.
