They had recommendations for exactly what we were looking for, and in multiple price ranges. They also beautifully gift-wrapped the bottles if asked! We glanced around a bit while they were being wrapped and the gentleman manning the store was able to answer all of our questions, and with honesty. There's more than wine -- we had our eyes on some local craft beer and some botanical gins. Next time :) Oh, and the wine was an absolute hit with our gift recipients!

I sampled the -196 Beam Vodka Seltzer by Suntory. It's a wonderful tasting product w fresh fruit not artificial. originated in Japan and is here now. Only 2 grams of sugar and has 6% alcohol volume. You need to try it if you haven't yet. Wonderful product to take the beach or pool area. Their selection of beer is very impressive. They have the regulars, along with a lot of micros. Plenty of variety for any of your likes. The store itself is rather large with a good selection of beer, wine and spirits. Prices are competitive. They have Frank who does tastings in the store who can help you find something or answer questions. Plenty of parking available.

I was pleasantly surprised on the wine selection in this "big box" package store. Nice balance of…read moremain stream wine brand vs small lesser known brands represented by Skurnik and T Edwards, etc in CT. Pricing right on point. Clean and organized more so than Sav-rite in north haven. If you had to decide between the two stores, take the ride to Cheshire and frequent this place. They go the extra mile and present the customer with something more appreciative than what most other big box liquor stores can replicate. Would like to see more natural wines in the selection but that's just my preference and not one of the masses more one of Cheshire. I'll be back.

WOW OH WOW. psychotic is the best adjective for my experience here…read more first, some background. in Feb 2021 i was hunting for Bandol with some age on it and found a decent bottle here. I placed an order over the phone and picked it up. fine experience, and i thought the selection was nice; made a note to return when in the area. obviously the other big background we all know is that Covid is still a big deal so i try very hard to give everyone more than 6' of personal room, and expect the same, especially from staff. i wear mask always when in shops and downtown areas. this past 1st weekend of April, i found another bottle on their site i wanted and decided to stop in. it was midday on Friday, four men are inside, none seem to be shopping, but none greet me. i recognize one as the man who was there last time and he's the shortest one so we'll call him Shorty. not seeing the bottle i sought, i caught attention of one of the men and asked: 'are you shopping or do you work here?' he didn't really reply so much as throw up his hands and look confused, but then Shorty yelled from the front, 'i can help you, sir' and rushed back. He immediately got within 6' of me. i began backing up, and he kept up with me until i said, 'could i please have 6' of space'. this seemed to irritate him, but he went to look for the bottle. i wanted to check out their Loire chenin, and once the aisle was clear i went in. after a few moments of browsing i go to leave and see that one of the men is standing at the end of aisle to my right. just standing there. ok... i turn left. another man is standing at that end of the aisle too. again, just standing there. there is no room to get out. then, i notice that the other two employees are in the aisles above and below my aisle. so in a (est.) 40' x 25' space, EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE is within approx. 6' and i have no where to go. i'm a little frustrated, but i stay calm and say, 'guys, i need some more space please. i can't leave the aisle right now. could i get some more space please?' the wardens at the end of the aisle move, but Shorty screams, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' (the sir is dripping with disdain in his tone.) i turn and say, 'Why are you yelling at me? I understand business; I just wanted space." he repeats: ''WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' 'do you always scream at customers? do you think i want to shop here now?' he's a broken record, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' he is incredibly hostile, irrationally so. meanwhile, none of the other employees seem to think this inappropriate. i will admit, i lost my cool here and crossed a line. i told him to go fuck himself. to this another employee says, 'well now we're not going to sell you anything'. my reply, 'fuck all of you too; i do not want to shop here!' i am sorry that i swore at you all, but the outright disrespect and hostility i encountered pushed me over the edge. BUYER BEWARE. STAY AWAY.

If you're looking for a quick stop on your way home from work, this place is fine (convenient…read moreparking, no lines). Not the place, however, for a special or pricey purchase. I was lured by the store website's listing of a highly recommended wine (at $50+), only to find the store only carried the wine from a different (two years earlier, much lower rated) vintage. The clerk confirmed that the wine was only available from this vintage. I made the purchase anyway, then did my research and had buyer's remorse about being the victim of a bait-and-switch. Returning two days later for a refund, the clerk and only employee on duty said he couldn't authorize the refund and contact the owner by phone, after which he reported that I had to return to the store and talk to the owner. Returning the next day, the owner kept me hanging while he checked the website for the discrepancy, then said it wasn't his responsibility (because someone else manages the website) and finally concluded that I had knowingly accepted that wine and wasn't entitled to a refund. Apparently, all sales are final. If you have an issue with a purchase, don't expect the establishment to make it right. P.S. If you want a receipt, you need to ask for it.
