After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye.

I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

It is a spacious venue, and there is always something going on. They occasionally do get rented out for events, though, so I'd recommend checking ahead of time, especially if you're not a regular. The staff here is great; everyone is really friendly, and the bartenders are quick and accommodating. The food here is decent, though it can be a little slow in coming out.

The owner and associates are very happy to chat about anything whiskey related I picked up a bottle of Glenrothes Lustau Sherry aged (24 year) non-chill filtered Speyside single malt. At $299.99 it was a screaming deal for a 24 year age statement whiskey! Bottled at 56.7% ABV this sherry aged single malt is the real deal! The item itself is quite limited and each bottle is numbered to let you know how many were made that year. He only had one left and it had been long discontinued so I was very glad I got my hands on it. It seemed like the best value for the price among the rarer options he had available. I really, really appreciate the fact that he did not mark it up a penny (BevMo had it for $299.99 many years back) even though he totally could have.

I have been mostly frequenting a different liquor store on Williams for the last few years because…read moreI like the people and their beer and bourbon selections are impressive. A chance visit to a different store on San Tomas caused me to realize my favorite store has been playing me for a tater where bourbon prices are concerned, so I started shopping around for a new favorite. After one visit to Dry Creek Liquor last weekend they are now my new #1! Walking in to the store I was a little deflated. It is not very big and I quickly realized their bourbon was all on two sets of back-to-back shelves. I immediately spied a lot of more common stuff and thought, "well it was worth a try." Then I began to study the selection closer. Oh, they have three bottles of Old Carter for $199, that's suggested retail price, wow. The other two places I have seen this label recently are charging the secondary market sucker price of $299. Going around to the back side of the shelves I found many desirable bourbons and ryes, all at straight up retail price, no crazy tater markups. Things were looking up. The man at the counter was busy ringing up patrons, but when he finished he stepped over and asked, "bourbon, huh?" I nodded. He retrieved a bottle of Hancock's Presidential Reserve. I said, "It's good, but I already have one." Then he said the magic words, "Smoke Wagon then?" I didn't see it, it's almost impossible to get because one of the big influencers rated it #1 of 2020, so I just accepted that I would never see one unless it was marked way up. So I asked, "price?" He pointed them out, "$65 for the uncut and $55 for the other one." Okay, what? That's actually $5 a bottle BELOW suggested retail. I took the last uncut. Score. I felt bad taking the last bottle of something so good at below retail, so I also grabbed a 12-pack of the mixed flavor White Claw Hard Seltzers. I've been meaning to try them. 100 calories, bubbly and a little fruity, seemed like a fit for me. Turns out they weren't. Calories equal flavor, so that was missing. Worth a shot. Dry Creek Liquor has earned my respect and my business after just one visit for having the integrity not to jack up prices on desirable bottles, and for the fellow who offered me his last good bottle of something when he didn't even know me. I'll be back again this weekend to add another to my collection. As I finish this review I'm wondering if I should post it. Am I giving away a potential secret spot? After mentioning the Old Carter will some FOMOs (fear of missing outers) pounce before I get back for one? On the other hand, good business ethics deserve to be rewarded by the masses so here goes, I think? Click....
