To all of our wonderful, loyal customers:

After serving you for almost a quarter century, it is time for me to move on. I have sold Grapes & Grains Wine and Spirits and I am looking forward to retirement.

I can't thank you enough for all of your business, loyalty, good humor, and patronage over the last 24 years. I hope we've served you well.

Grapes & Grains will continue to serve our local Capital District community with an infusion of energy from the new owners.

It's been an honor and privilege to serve you all these years. I'm sure I'll see you around the neighborhood from time to time. Thank you again!
