Great environment and hospitality from the staff, some of the finest wine in NY. Loved the creative artistic paintings and pieces . Definitely a must check out spot.

What a great little find! A very sophisticated yet comfortable place, with friendly and efficient service. The wine menu is impressive, and the food delicious and nicely presented. I had the cheese platter and a glass of wine. In a nice touch the warm crusty bread comes with warmed honey. Yum. I’ll come back here.

Lovely wine bar. Welcoming environment. Great menu and fantastic selection of wines. Russ, the owner was behind the bar, ensuring we were tended to in the most delightful way. Good music at the right volume for conversation.

10 stars if I could. This is a Brooklyn/Manhattan quality wine bar in the Hudson valley. Far above and beyond anything else in Poughkeepsie, especially for the price. I'm a CMS somm who recently moved up from the city for housing price reasons, and I've mostly just lived with the drop off in restaurant/bar quality... But not here! Very knowledgeable staff, interesting yet succinct list, fun seasonal plates, cozy space. You'll never know you're in the 'burbs.

We had a great birthday dinner for my husband at 1915 wine cellar! The wine selection was excellent and Grant was super knowledgeable and friendly. The food was also great. I will definitely be coming back for dinner or just to try some more wine!
