Great customer service, great shipping, and great packing of my item. would recomend to any one.

Does not adhere to their shipping terms or respond to emails. I had to do a charge back.

I came in here and asked for a recommendation for a couple bottles of very good wine around $30 a bottle and was sold two of the most disgusting foul bottles of GSM I've ever tasted in my life one of which had a rotten cork. I feel duped. read more

Ludwig's Fine Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Anselmo, California

As others have mentioned, avoid this shop like the plague. They will take your money and after 2 months of not shipping your order and stringing you along with lines like "we will ship it today" they will just ghost you. Take your business and hard earned money elsewhere! read more

Like others said they charge your credit card and don't ship for months. They never keep their to ship when promised

Service and selection have always been top-notch. We have our orders shipped to us, but were able to recently pop into the store. It's so cute and has an incredible selection. The people who work here are very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I grew up in SA and Ludwig's is a classic gem, thankfully still exists. My experience has been mostly online since I don't live in town anymore. They have great value deals & impressive quality across all board(Tequila/bourbon/wine/beer). Always buy 6 bottles and the shipping is free. Their service has always been amazing every time. I ordered some fine wines in the heat of the summer and opted to pick them up. Seven+ months later and Ludwig's staff had them ready when my lady happened to be in town. Other competitors that I respect a ton would charge a re stocking fee after 3-4 weeks.. Yes Please & Thank you Ludwig's! Value, amazing service & a great overall selection! read more

Just received my first purchase from Ludwig's today in the mail. Everything was intact and properly packed. They also have a responsive and helpful customer service. read more

Beware! Had to cancel my last four orders worth $$$$. Every time, I gave them at least two months to ship my order and they never did. I called them at least five times and they would say it would ship tomorrow or next day, Never Happened! So I gave up on them for good. read more

Ordered Balvenie 14 from this place at a great discounted price. Everything got delivered on time and in one piece :-). Great packaging job as well. read more

Service and shipping is perfect. Ordered and shipped as promised. Arrived in perfect condition, especially the Blanton's which is known to have a cracked seal on arrival if shipped. I also have ordered a high priced bottle before with great packaging. read more

Ludwig's Fine Wine & Spirits - Stagg Jr and Blanton's SFTB - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Anselmo, California

This review is for bourbon hunters like myself. It's a pass for me. Same prices if not a little more, than your local Chevron or Indian owned liquor shop. Good shop for wine lovers though! read more

An amazing selection of wine. Just don't take any advice from the staff. They don't seem to know what they're talking about.

Well, all I can say is that I am a tequila aficionado. I have been studying and researching agave spirits for many years. Needless to say I have visited every liquor store in Marin County, and Ludwig's is by far the best... I hesitate to post this review because it will draw attention to a gem that is hidden away in the town of San Anselmo. One of the great Strengths of this particular establishment, is that it has many very fine spirits that are very difficult to find. They do their research. The staff was very friendly, and accommodating. If you are looking for a fine bottle of wine and/or spirits, I highly recommend Ludwig's... Parking can be a challenge, but that's San Anselmo! read more

Ludwig's emailed me about a special buy on 1942 so I bought 3 bottles back in July of 2022. Today, December 1, 2022 I finally received them. What an awful experience, maybe the worst retail buying experience I've ever had. I called the merchant on more than a dozen separate occasions to get updates and was promised that my order was "being shipped out tomorrow" several times. What a pathetic excuse for a liquor store.... DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIER LOW ADVERTISED PRICES, THEY MAY ULTIMATELY DELIVER, BUT 5 MONTHS LATE AND ONLY AFTER DOZENS OF CALLS AND BROKEN PROMISES. #NOTWORTHIT read more

The best value you will find on high end bottles and excellent customer service. I have been ordering from Ludwig's for years and never had an issue. Everything is well packaged and arrives as if you grabbed it right off the shelf at your local store. I recently received my shipment of Tears Of Llorona Tequila and, oddly, one of the bottles arrived with a break in the seal, leading to a small leak. I emailed 2 pictures (responding to the generic "your order has shipped" confirmation email I received 2 days prior) and within a few hours was notified that the bottle would be replaced. I then received confirmation, before the end of the same day, that my replacement bottle had shipped. Exactly the type of customer service you hope for, but rarely see! read more

I was a loyal customer for years. the I placed an online order and after 4 weeks of not receiving it, I called them up . They didn't even ship it yet and said they would ship it today. They didn't even offer to do anything to keep me as a customer. Just said we will cancel the order and hung up. They have really become a terrible place to shop. Their prices are the same as everyone else now too. read more

Great communication over the phone and safe delivery. Awesome selection and they had the rarer whiskey I had been looking for. Thank you!

As per previous reviews, the online ordering process is horrible. I ordered a bottle of Hakushu 12 100th anniversary in late June 2023. It wasn't processed for shipment until July 28, 2023. However, the bottle was never picked up by FedEx. I called... 5 times. Each time, I was told that the bottle would be shipped. I was going to cancel my order last week, but was promised that it would be shipped and delivered by today. Nothing was delivered. I finally cancelled my order today. read more

Saw a great deal on glenlivet 18. Beside the fact that it's really difficult to get these bottles here in NY, the price has gone up sign it when you can find them. I bought 8 bottles and they shipped them out fedex. Everything was great. read more

What a wonderful establishment. Great prices and great selection of cigars and liquor of all sorts. Exceptional customer service as well. Would recommend to anyone who's thinking about stopping by. read more

Do not trust Ludwig's. Their website is regularly inaccurate and they don't resolve their mistakes. They take your money and say they are fixing their mistake and then ghost you. Placed an order 11DEC22 for over $1k and they failed to ship several bottles. Continued to be strung along saying we're getting more in and then no contact. It's now over 6 months later and they won't respond and refuse to issue a refund. read more

Ludwig's Fine Wine & Spirits - Example - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Anselmo, California

Not your local Bev Mo. This store is the place to go if you are looking for that particular bottle of wine that you can't find anywhere else. There are also fine liquors and a humidor room if that's your thing. Great selection and prices are fair. And the ambiance is a plus with the smell of pipe tobacco wafting in the air. read more

I placed order on June 26th for six bottles of blue label. After waiting for 3 weeks they told me that they are going to ship me on July 18th. Today is August 6th and nothing is shipped. Beware of placing order online. read more

Can't comment on the in-store experience but I'd avoid ordering from them online. I placed an order and got an email a day later saying the product is not in stock. Checked the site, and the "number available" text for the product actually increased instead of being an out-of-stock item. I placed a different order without the "out-of-stock" bottle the next day and it was cancelled the following day without an explanation. I contacted them and they said it was a mistake on their part and that they can send out a new invoice and the products that same day. Never got a follow-up from them. Based on that experience, I'd wouldn't trust their services regardless of some lower priced bottles. Stick to reputable vendors like Old Town and Rare Tequilas and you won't be disappointed. read more

I have not received my item that was ordered online December 6th. When I called earlier this week I was informed I would have the item by the 24th. That did not happen. But on the day I called it appeared as if a shipping label was created, but nothing else has occurred. At this time, I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication, follow-through, and general customer service. I have yet to receive the very expensive item I ordered. I highly recommend not ordering online if you have deadline, high expectations, or simply want to receive your item. STILL WAITING!! read more

THE worst experience EVER. Magid takes your money on orders, does NOT ship out your stuff unless you harass him, does NOT reply to email unless you email him 10 times. He has taken my money over a month ago, has NOT shipped anything out. I highly recommend to avoid buying from them online read more

Checked this place out the other day while walking through San Anselmo. VERY nice corner wine shop...some good selections. Varied, but not very deep (not surprising, given that it's a relatively small town). The smoke section - well, GREAT pricing for California, no doubt. But tiny. VERY tiny. We're talking closet here, folks. That said, for the size of the town, again, good variety, but not very deep. So if you're in San Anselmo, definitely not a bad (given it's the only) choice. And IF the smokes they carry happen to be the bones you smoke, then stock up, 'cause these are fine prices! read more

It's been 11 days since ordering and I've been told twice it will ship "tomorrow". Still hasn't shipped. Customer service doesn't care. They're still blaming COVID. read more

This store has an outstanding selection of fine wines and hard to fine liquors. Everything is priced well, no price gouging despite it being a small store. I would argue their prices are as good or better than a Bevmo or grocery store. Plus, buying from Ludwig's is shopping as local as you can get. They have an impressive collection of tequila and mezcal. It's our go-to place for that as well as great local wineries like Pey-Marin, TEXTBOOK, Spicerack & The Forager (the best wines from Marin County in my opinion). There's always great easy parking out front and they have excellent customer service. There's been a few times we went in to just browse but came out with something amazing at their recommendation. They're super friendly about asking questions here and always more than happy to help you find something. This place is the best liquor/wine store in the Bay Area and we're lucky to have it right here in San Anselmo. read more

I am impressed!! Great selection of whisky & tequila, very knowledgeable, and reasonable pricing. Sal is the man!!!

This store used to have great specials and I regularly received email notifications about special offers and bought a lot of liquor from them Majid,the owner,really delivered. But something has drastically changed in the last 12 months. They have redesigned their website and it really sucks. They don't have their weekly or monthly specials page and browsing thru the selection is a real pain. They need to hire a better web designer. read more

Best liquor store in Marin. Always has an amazing selection of beers, wine and liquor. The craft beer here is always rotating and it's a great place to find everything from sours, saisons, IPAs, to pilsner's. You name it, they've got it or something that will fit your tastes. The staff is super nice, remembers you and is knowledgeable. From a wine standpoint, they've got a nice selection beyond just Californian, including French, Spanish and Italian varietals. Also, I find it a great place to pick up everything you need for cocktails from bitters, vermouths, to unique and traditional liquors. I'm not a cigar guy, but they happen to have a huge humidor as well, so I imagine it's stocked with great stuff. Anyway, if youre in the area, this is THE spot for great liquor, beer and wine. read more

Ordered online from this store. Not only did they have the cheapest prices for what I wanted, but they did custom engraving too. My bottle was packaged flawlessly ad there wasn't so much as a dent in the box. It's going to make an amazing Christmas gift! While they did ship to my billing address rather than my shipping address, I was able to get it taken care of by UPS anyway to get straightened out. VERY happy with my purchase! read more

Many may believe that getting value for money when buying wine means a trip to the supermarket, or CVS. But if you walk past Ludwig's with the belief that you will find no bargains, you will be mistaken. Ludwig's is a wonderful emporium of, probably, the biggest selection of wine in this part of Marin County. There are great wines at all prices, from bottom shelf, low cost table wine, to highest end bottles of fantastic reds, whites and champagnes. And the selection is not limited to California wines. You will find very good representation from many of the major wine-making regions around the world. What is best? Whoever is behind the counter is willing and able to help you with suggestions that have never missed their mark, and whatever your budget. Do you really want another bottle of Kendall Jackson from Safeway, or do you want to discover a rare treat, something that you may have never heard of, at a similar price? No brainer, really. Your first visit to Ludwig's will not be your last. read more

Great selection of liquor and wine! I always search the net for the best pricing and Ludwigs has been the best every time I search for a liquor. I bought from them the Patron Grand Burdeos, several bottles, the Patron 7 year old and the 7 year old Fuenteseca tequila. I also ordered the Illegal Mezcal Anejo and Reposado. I love the Anejo Mezcal the best. It was light on the smoke, whereas, the Reposado Mezcal was scotch smoky and for me needed to be mixed with margarita mix. I got two bottles of Georges de Latour. The packages arrived on time and were packed very well each time. I will continue buying from Ludwigs and also recommend them to anyone. Thank you Ludwigs for such great service! read more

This is my favorite Liquor store in the area based mainly on the large selection of Italian Amaro's they carry. Most places carry 1 or 2 Amaro bottles however Ludwig's carries probably 7-10 different varieties. If you haven't tried Amaro I'd recommend picking up a bottle and having some after dinner as a Digestif! They have a great wine and gin selection as well however I'd love to see a Similar sized selection or rums since their options are slim in that department. The Beer selection is filled with not often found beers but that can make the prices a little higher than most places. read more

Wow, what a great little liquor store. When I walked in I expected the prices to be higher than they should be given as nice as the store's interior is, but was pleasantly surprised. While not a huge space, the selection is obviously carefully chosen so that you end up seeing many items that even BevMo doesn't carry, at or around their price point. They even have a nice selection of mezcals if you're like me and are a fan of the spirit. Nice guy working the counter, small business, great prices and selection. What's not to love? read more

I frequent the beer section, for things I can't find elsewhere locally. They take their selection of wine and beer seriously and are happy to serve you. All in all a great spot. read more

Old school cigar shops are getting SO hard to find. Ludwig's has an excellent humidor room with a huge selection of cigars at reasonable prices. They also have one of the best selections of wine and beer in Marin. We need to support cool stores like these or they will go away! read more
