Collins Fine Foods is certainly one of the better shops in Van Wert. It's menu is varied. It's a…read moreliquor store... a darn great liquor store! Plenty of beer, including craft beer, wine, and liquors. But, it's more than that. It has a deli that makes sandwiches or sells you cut meats or cheeses, it will sell you fresh steaks, it has a varied selection of candy, jelly beans and fine chocolates. It has gourmet coffee for sale. There are gift baskets for purchase. It's pretty much a one stop shop for a great party or perhaps a romantic dinner! I came twice to this store already, and plan on coming much more often. The first time, I came to check it out. I kept hearing from so many people I work with that this place is great. They are right! I was pleased to finally find a liquor store that sold at least one of my favorite wines (Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio) and had other wines I would truly. I was happy to find out the store sold one of my favorite brands of chocolate (Sanders) and even had its sea salt version! It also has craft beers! Awesome! I talked to the owner, great guy. He told me about the steaks and how I can order certain cuts and he would have them shipped to the store. He even advised that if there was a certain wine I wanted that wasn't sold there, he would also have it shipped! Yes! I think he also mentioned (and it's on their menu) that they sold hot foods on certain days before 4:00 pm... including soups, bbq pork, and other meals. hmmm will have to see and check it out. I came a second time during the chocolate walk. They were handing out plenty of chocolate treats but also booze! They had Rumchata Limon, A Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer that tasted like coffee and a dark chocolate wine. If you know me, you can guess I went for the wine! Wonderful! Will have to buy some in the future! Someone I met during the chocolate walk said it was a bit too strong for her taste... not for me... perfect! Chocolaty goodness that with the liquor warmed me up during an especially frigid day during the chocolate walk! Great place! I have to come back once I have finished settling into my new house!

It's time to party! It's a liquor store after all... the only full one in town. Are there other…read moreplaces in town to buy wine and beer? Sure. You can even go to Walmart and find some of the stuff they have at Partee Shop too... but this place has the selection you cannot find anywhere else if you are looking for liquor. Already have bought plenty of beer here as well as bourbon, Grand Marnier and other liquors... sometimes to drink... usually to cook with. The prices are also reasonable compared to what I am used to in Miami. Store employees are also very friendly and helpful. What more is there to want in a local liquor store... selection, prices, friendly staff... is has it all.

I cant believe no one has reviewed this place yet…read more Aside from eating as much Kewpee's as I can when I come to visit Lima, I try to eat as much of The Wine Sellers pizza as I can. The Wine Sellers is a liquor store that happens to make the best pizza in all of Lima, OH! I love that I can go in, grab a 6 pack of beer, grab a pie and go! The only down side is that it IS just a liquor store, so there is no seating. Its strictly take out. Their crust and sauce tastes like they put wine in it. It has a sweet taste but it isnt overbearing. Its just simply amazing! The cheese is the right amount and is just delightful! Also they cut the pizza into tiny squares, and for some reason, for me, it always makes the pizza taste better when its cut into sqaures. My aunt used to live next door, and I would walk to the Wine Seller on an almost daily basis to fulfill all my candy, drink and pizza needs! Can't wait to get back to Lima and have a couple slices!

During the holidays, I needed to buy some alcohol for all the festivities! It had been personally a…read morehard year for myself and my family. We wanted to thus drink because it was traditional to do so, would be comforting, and we wanted to both celebrate surviving it, in the case of my mom literally. My favorite type of wine is Albariño, it is a white wine native to Portugal (where it is known as Alvarinho) and Northwestern Spanish region of Galicia. For those reading and interested, this is the taste profile according to The Spruce Eats: "Albariño is a dry white wine with aromas of citrus and peach. On the palate, the wine can exhibit characteristics of grapefruit, lemon peel, apricot, and sweet melon. Because the grapes tend to grow in coastal regions, they can also have a touch of salinity. Some wines may exhibit a slightly bitter finish, similar to citrus pith. Overall, albariño is light-bodied and low in tannins but high in acid. The high acidity makes this wine refreshingly mouth-watering and best served well-chilled." I used to have it quite often when I lived in Miami, but had become a difficult thing to find up here. I was in the past able to order a number of them through a local liquor store near my house, but that sometimes required large minimum orders and that can be a bit of a pain. So i started checking out or calling local liquor and wine stores in the area. I was about to throw my hands up and give up when I came into this Cap n' Cork. I made my way to the wine section and beheld albariño. So glad I finally found a place I can get some of this wine by the bottle. Excellent!

So, I'll start by saying that this location is not huge, but they have a great selection of…read moreliterally everything. I grew up in Fort Wayne, but I moved away before I could take advantage of this location. Just went in for the first time about a week ago--and I'm so happy I did! When I first walked in, I was greeted by soemoen working--always a nice touch especially when I was looking for something specific for my mom. The man was super helpful, and after finding what I needed, I decided to check out the rest of the space. They have a staggering selection of wines and beers compared to many other places I've visited in Fort Wayne. And the selection in the place had many options that were locally sourced from Indiana, which is great if you're looking for new options made in the area! They had almost 2 fridge sections of just Indiana/Fort Wayne beers, which I love trying when I'm home from California. After picking out a local beer (Taxman), I wandered closer to the check out counter to find a tasting area! The man behind the tasting area said they are open everyday for tasting, and he also asked what I liked--and I ended up trying a limited edition Don Julio that had been aged in Scotch Barrels. It was fabulous and I would have never ever know this existed without his help! Loved my experience here and I can't wait to go back to try out more local options!

Rudy's is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It's a homey place that looks almost…read morelike a fraternity house, with a big patio, Nirvana playing in the background (literally, All Apologies was playing from a speaker somewhere when I rolled up), and this chaotic energy that I can't place. I think some of that energy starts with the sign on the door that says that you need to be prepared to show that you're 21+ in order to enter. I entered, and no one asked me whether I was over 21. Alrighty then! I visited because I wanted a bottle of wine to take back to my hotel. I read that Rudy's has wine, and they do, but it's a small wall of wine with maybe a dozen different bottles. Two of the bottles are from Oliver Winery (too sweet for me, I already know), and maybe four other bottles also looked light and sweet. I ended up finding a decent-looking Pinot Noir that was a little more than I wanted to pay initially, but once I opened it, I could see where the extra couple of bucks went. It was a good bottle of red. But, if you're looking for a variety of wines, this is not the place to visit. And if you're looking for beers, the same applies. They do have some beers in a refrigerator, but they're sparse. Mostly, though, Rudy's is a cigar bar, and everything about it screams cigars once you step inside. I know very little about cigars beyond what my dad has imparted upon me; he has taken up smokin' stogies in the past couple of years. I think he would love this place, and if you're a cigar smoker, I think you might love it, too. It's just not my vibe, but I'm glad it exists for those who it vibes with.

Though it's called a shop, it seemed to me to be anything but. It's a cigar house, yep, a literal house with a porch, a front yard with seating and a view of a baseball field, a member lounge complete with a full kitchen, amazing back yard seating areas culminated with an incredible two-story deck. They carry a pretty great selection of cigars and accessories, local wines and chocolates, drinks, snacks, and Rudy's merch. I'd travel back to Fort Wayne just to hang out there. The owner is originally from Michigan. The staffer who graciously served as my guide shared with me that the shop folk take a cigar train trip twice a year. I'm definitely scheduling that on my calendar for 2025. #cigars #cigarshop #fortwayne #detroitcigarsmoker #cigartravel

There was only one person working and she was not as up to sped in the beer, but she was friendly and courteous, and offered any details she could.
