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.

While the store itself was really cute, their help was not very...helpful. When asked the difference between two sauvignon blancs, the guy said "One is from New Zealand and one is from California." 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.

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.
