My first big purchase came when I needed to buy some wine for a company Christmas party; and I've been a loyal customer ever since.

Truly one of the best independent wine retailers in the area.

For some reason they do not like when a customer ask questions and recommendations for various wines & spirits. Seems I am not the only one that gets the eye roll (see other experiences below). Does not makes sense to do when a customer comes into the store to spend a lot of money on gifts for co-workers and the Jackson's staff is arrogant with communications . And it always is the same staff members who have condescending behavior . Maybe the staff should be humble when customers ask questions and suggestions for wine and spirits. Don't they want to sell products? I can just go down the street to BEV MO where the prices are cheaper and staff is helpful. Also, Safeway prices are lower and there is always friendly helpful staff in the wine & spirits aisle. The wine & spirits are the same at both Safeway and Bev Mo so I don't see the point of purchasing from Jackson when it is turns into a horrible experience.

I was impressed with their selections of champagne with anything from veuve to more affordable sparking wines like La Marca. Great if you're running in for a quick gift or a last minute bottle for dinner. Same with their tequilas. They had my favorite additive free tequila-Lalo. When I decide to host I like a variety of options and cleaner drinks and they had everything I needed. And of course my daughter had to get some candy. They had a huge variety of that too. It's in a great location and easily accessible. The customer service was phenomenal. It felt family oriented and we even chatted with other customers as they were also preparing for the World Cup. 10/10. I will be back!

Each time I have asked about a low alcohol wine the staff does not seem familiar with the question or a wine. Example of low alcohol wines would be Meiomi bright Pinot Noir, Arlow Cabernet Sauvignon, Bread and butter sliced chardonnay, Decoy featherweight , butter light chardonnay ect. They need to get familiar with low alcohol wines and start carrying inventory of the product.

With Ledger's closing :( recently, I will be making the trip across town more often. Cask has a wonderfully curated selection of both spirits and hard-to-find specialty items (e.g. Amaros).

All in all, a great place to just go and browse (though you'll be hard-pressed now to buy SOMETHING while you're there)!

I did love their variety and selection of Bottles and mixers. My new stop and I don't have to cross the Bridge to find my Bar essentials.

It's a well lit, wine store that also has cheese, crackers and other beverages to grab and go. Towards the back you can order a glass of wine or half glasses. We both tried different wines and enjoyed them. My friend had an organ wine, Esoterico. I had a red from Kid Sister. Our winetender/sommelier was helpful in answering our profile questions. I do wish we could taste a few before choosing a glass, but I do like that they have options for half glass pours. I would definitely come back here and grab another glass or a bottle to go!

Since the change in ownership, I feel like the quality of alcohol has decreased. Don't get me wrong, they will stock 1 brand of really good liquor and have practically every item from that brand, but they're starting to run out of the unique and niche liquors that made me fall in love with this place. Still a good institution to visit, but I will prob look elsewhere for the unique and niche wines, ports, ciders, and other libation elsewhere. I do appreciate the renovation and how bright the store looks now, but very sad that the old owner retired and sold the place to someone else.

Would be proud to have it on my street, that's for sure. On this night I was going to a freind's house for venison and he pulled out two Mourvèdre heavy wines that were both great with the dinner. Not very expensive either. I even questioned if they were going to be the best wine I could get for this dinner and they did not try to upsell me to a pricier bottle that would not have been as good with the food. Integrity like that keeps people coming back and makes better long term value for everyone. Wish I found it everywhere, but regardless, very happy to have found it here, and I will return.
