Holiday Liquors offers the best possible advantages of an owner operated local business: friendly, honest service, quality wines and liquor, great prices, and best of all, frank and wonderful recommendations from the proprietor himself--and that I find is so often a necessary service for most of us non-connoisseurs. He is passionate about helping his customers save money, and frequently steers you away from over-priced famous brands in favor of better tasting, lesser known offerings. He almost always takes a dollar or two off every bottle for his regular customers.
The only drawback here (and the reason I rate it a 4 rather than 5) is that the small size of the store limits the quantity of merchandise, and occasionally one cannot find a specific product. However, the proprietor cheerfully makes special orders without any hesitation--I really liked a French Bordeaux wine I tried in a restaurant, asked about it, and he immediately ordered me a case, gave me a discounted price, and started selling this wine as part of his regular offerings.
This is a great little liquor store, and my wife and I have gone back there for more than a decade. Strongly recommended. read more
