I purchased a nice South African wine there about a week ago. I forgot to check to see if they have ice wines (my favorite). I’m really psyched about having wines delivered to my door from a vendor in Bed-Stuy.

Well, i must say i just bought two bottles of wine (red & white) from this new addition to Bed Stuy and i would rather patronize Olivino than some of this rude liquor wanna be aka wine stores in the area. I found the new business very nice…good selection and they even deliver…check that out! I wish Olivino in Bed Stuy nothing but great positive energy and the best.

Went to Olivino last night to pick a little red and white. I was very pleased with the selection. They’re still setting up shop but it looks like it will be cute and ready for Sat’s wine tasting. I hope they’re ready for the crowd.

I stopped in Olivino yesterday and found the owner and her staff quite pleasant. They’re having a wine and cheese tasting on Saturday from 6-9pm.

Re Olivino: wow. that is unfortunate. i realize owning your own business is stressful. good rapport with the clientele are essential in maintaining that business. it’s not hip to be rude…

This is great news and I’m thrilled to be giving my money to a local wine shop not lugging it home Manhattan where Snooty McSnooterton owns a liquor/wine store near my office. I can only hope The Greene Grape will follow suit. They’re really great in there plus they deliver. Delivery of tasty fermented grape beverages is always a plus.

Rowan:
I must say, I did experienced one of her moods. My family and I were walking up Fulton St. when the owner, her dog and I believe one of her employees were closing up shop. We politely spoke and told her thanks for bringing her business to Clinton Hill she sort of brushed us off and walked ahead while her employee smiled and chat briefly with us. The wines are awesome though so that sort of makes up for her being rude and you don’t have to deal with her all the time.
