Wineries near Albany

“I'm not much of a wine drinker. I went to Albany Wine and Spirits. I asked the woman working the counter if she could guide me to a decent white wine. I wanted to buy a present for my nephew and his wife who just purchased their first home. The woman looked me in the eye and said she could not help me because she knows nothing about wine. i left immediately and went to Colvin Wine and Liquor where the gentleman guided me to numerous options. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them“

“Just moved here from TX and this Meadry quickly became my favorite hangout spot and bar in Troy. The team that bartends throughout the week are just astounding and a+++ personalities. So kind and welcoming to us and newly transplanted Exans, trying to learn the ways of y’all Trojans. The variety and selection of mead is the best I have seen all in one spot that’s not a ren faire. The fact it’s in a downtown city still baffles me I’m a great way. They also have an equally impressive selection of ciders and you can purchase anything by the bottle or growlers. A must stop and drink if you’re in the city and area. Excited to go check out their farm outside the city too. 12 out of 10 stars.“
