My buddy brought me a bottle of Yamasaki 12 yr old single malt which I drank sparingly @ the time the bottle retailed for $50/bottle. When the bottle was running low I went in w/the intent of buying another bottle. By then the price had jumped to $85.00. Now I can't even find this anymore except online w/exorbitant prices. This use to be available but the 25 yr old Yamasaki was named the No 1 single malt in the world selling for 1,000,000 yen (at the time roughly $9,600). Ever since the demand for Yamasaki products has been off the charts (supply & demand)

This is a dog-inclusive bar, and for this reason I've never been. I am both allergic too and afraid…read moreof most dogs, and startle to literally every bark. Every time. So I have never gone in despite waking past at least once a week. Yesterday, someone invited me for a beer at Poor Phil's, which was closed at the time, so they changed the location to The Beer Shop, not realizing my dog issue. I was feeling brave, so I went in! Thankfully, no allergic reaction. There was only one small dog there while I was there, about 30 minutes, and the dog only walked by once, while leashed. A few tables with kids playing board games. A few folks at the bar. I really dug the vibe, and if it was pet-free, I'd totally come here more often! The bartender was super duper friendly, really cool. I got a cider on tap, and there were non-alcohol options as well, even saw a canned Diet Coke- my favorite!! I realize I'm not their ideal customer, with my dog challenges. If you have a dog, this looks to be the perfect spot for you! I wish I could visit again, but I think I'll pass as dogs barking indoors make me startle, cry, and flee. But I had a good experience yesterday.

I love Anfora for its wine classes, the knowledge of the owners and staff, and the opportunity to…read moresit outside in the sun and sip a lovely glass of wine and enjoy appetizers (or sit inside on a cold night.) My friends and I have attended a few of their regional wine classes and really enjoyed the knowledge shared and the company of others interested in Italian wines. And sitting at an outside table with friends is my favorite thing to do on a sunny afternoon. My partner recently purchased a substitute for chartreuse from Portland there, which he is enjoying immensely, and we found a bottle of white port last time we were in which was a lovely change. Highly recommend for customer service, atmosphere and selection.

If you're a sweet wine drinker, like myself this might not be the wine shop for you. I was still able to enjoy the experience to Sip, Savor and Share the rich taste of some fine wines. They have an outside patio to sit out in the front on those beautiful summer days. Where you can sit under the umbrella, relax and sip on a crispy glass of wine. There is a monthly wine class for those who want to know more about Italian wines. It's nice to have a wine shop in the neighborhood that serves unique and different selections of wines. The service for me was nice. I was able to get knowledge and history on each wine. The experience felt like an imaginary trip to France or Italy.

Holidays with the family are a bit like choose your own adventure novels…read more Take Path A - the sober route - and you don't have alcohol to help soften grandchild requests, barbs, etc.; the upside is you know you can make a clean getaway. Take Path B - the booze train - and anesthetize yourself against the aforementioned comments, but risk being too sloshed to leave at the end of the night. Even if you choose all the right options, there's no telling if a family get-together will end pleasantly or in a hide the knives scenario. This year erred toward a hide the knives kind of night, by the time I left I was in need of a drink (or three). After a failed booze run to TJ's, I headed for home racking my brain for a liquor store that might be open on Christmas. Fortunately, like a beacon, the lights of USA Beverage called out to me. The store isn't huge, but it has a decent selection of beer. You'll find a nice array of domestics in bottles, cans, sixers and cases. If you're on the hunt for craft beer or imports, you'll probably be disappointed; the selection was mostly mainstream brands like Sierra Nevada, Goose Island and Guinness. I was hoping to pick up some Strongbow, but didn't see it or any hard ciders. The one thing I didn't like was that there weren't prices next to many of the items. This place is convenient, but when I'm not on the hunt for emergency booze, I'd probably head over to Famous. They have a much more robust selection.

When i tried calling this place, the first time no one answered. The second time, it sounded like someone answered but no one said anything, and then the phone hung up.

I apologized initially, but he continued with his condescending attitude. Rude as hell for no reason.

When I first started to come here they didn't really have that much competition except for Binny's but even at the time Binny's was out the way and usually the more expensive option. (Now I work two blocks from them :| ) I have notice certain unpopular bottles with dust on it but on the other hand I've tried a lot of stuff that was new to me because of this place. Price wise I never really felt they were overpriced... I think Jewel's, target, kind of places might have a deeper discount during the holiday, but on the flip side they don't have the variety of options you get when coming here.
