I still have an open spot on my whiskey shelf. After striking out at a new place yesterday and…read moremissing out on a Stagg Jr. at a regular place the day before, and finding myself in PA on other business, with some time to spare before going home, I hit the Yelps for a bottle shop. Palo Alto Fine Wine & Spirits on Middlefield popped up, well reviewed. I like that part of town, so I off I went. Arriving at the location the curb appeal was PA all day. Walking through the front door it was apparent that they are at the top of their game. Strolling toward a floor-to-ceiling wall of whiskey I had high hopes. Oh, to put that in perspective, their ceilings are probably 24-ish feet high. So would we need a ladder, a clever picking device or some Cirque du Soleil types, to retrieve a top-shelf selection on this particular day? Nope. It was a lot of whiskey, some if it was fine, I even like a lot of it, but for what it was it was mostly unremarkable. Scanning the rest of the store, wine seems to be their thing. I didn't shop for any, but I have a hunch there are many good ones to be had. Lately I have had a policy of buying something from every shop I set foot in. We need to take care of one another right now, all the time really, but I wasn't just going to cram a bottle of something into my last spot. So I went to Plan-B. Any good beer? Oh yes indeed. While their selection looked sparse, seriously their chillers were mostly empty shelves, there was some great stuff available. I wouldn't call myself a beer expert. I'm kind of all over the place and up for anything, but I do like stouts and sours. I ended up with two of each. They were all local-ish selections. Two from Alvarado Street in Salinas, one from Sac and another from San Carlos. Buy local when you can. Your neighbors need you more than Bezos right now. As I write this review I am sipping on Motor Oil No. 9 from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, CA. It's my first time trying it, I wasn't sure if it would work out or not, but the idea of a stout with something fruity added was intriguing. So how would I describe it? It's like somebody dumped some of their Pineapple Jarritos into a pint of Guinness, then put some heavy cream in there. In other words, awesome. Don't knock it 'till you try it. If I find it again I'll buy it. Palo Alto Fine Wine & Spirits has a lot to offer.

I wanted to write another review for the new ownership that's been in place for the past few months…read moreto a year. I really, really liked the previous owner and was sad to see him leave so I was hesitant to come and give the STORE another shot however, I'm so glad I did. The new owner is awesome! He's super friendly. He always has a smile on his face. You could tell he's worked hard to make improvements to the actual store and bring in some new merchandise as well. I mainly go for lottery tickets and then an occasional refreshment or snack so I'm not spending tons of money, but he still is so friendly and Always strikes up a conversation and always has a smile on his face. That's really appreciated these days. We all need that, because I have another liquor store That's closer to my home that sometimes I'll go to in a pinch for a lottery ticket, but they're so rude that I'm not going there anymore. I'll go out of my way to actually go to El Monte now even if it's an extra 15 minute drive. I know small businesses are having it tough these days, hopefully things go OK financially and he will be there for a long time to come.

I was highly impressed with their eclectic varieties of cider, as well as these fruit cider beers and a number of different organic liquors, as well as wine and mixers!! Originally, I could not find the beer my friend was able to see on their website that was somehow in the store, but it was not in the refrigerator instead it was on the endcap. He didn't need them cold so it was perfect!! One of the employees found it with ease!! The store was very big and very well organized! I was quickly able to walk down the full aisle of cider beers as well as another part that was import beers and specialty. I guess Amber beers or maybe seasonal beers! There seem to be something for everybody here!! Plus, there was a really close parking spot at the angle of the door, so it was easy for me to get in and out! I will definitely be back for these fruit beers!!
