The owner/manager is a great guy, a real gentleman, also works at Bottle Shop on Orange St. He is the only person I know who can discuss craft beers and wines with experience &knowledge, because he actually tries them and likes them, and makes spot-on recommendations. Unlike other shops around here where managers and employees dont even drink, they just read up on products and relay info without knowing what they are talking about.

They do a great job stocking their liquor, too. Their displays always make me want to buy something, but be sure to ask for advice, too. It'd be a shame to miss out and not score the perfect bottle. Prices can be good - especially with their case discount - but sometimes it feels like the good prices take some digging around.

If' I'd been there for wine, I'd probably have a lot more to say, but I wanted a very popular size of a very popular liquor, and they had it. It was $45; I don't know what Connecticut liquor taxes or even prices in New Haven are like generally, so I can't judge the price. I was the only customer at the time. It was cramped. Decor was mostly bottles of wine. I used Yelp to find it and all of the reviews are super old and together they were a mixed bag, so I wanted to say I had a satisfactory experience.

Yeah, cool, dude. I can read the label too, but what's the difference in taste? "I haven't tried them, but this one is popular." Repeat same scenario for an earthy red recommendation. Super disappointing and I probably would have been better off going to a big store and spending less money. I prefer shopping smaller, local stores, but this is one shop I won't be returning to.
