CBM's not my usual spot, but it's always a fun stop. Beverages from near and far can all be found here, by the case, by the nip, by all manner of bottles. The back wall of this big box-sized package store is a refrigerated case, and aisle 1, as of January 2021, is being turned into a second wall of refrigeration. Woot! I haven't been disappointed by the wine recommendations occasionally tucked between price labels, including a recommendation for Sunset Meadow Vineyards. Chris helped me find a couple light but flavorful brews, and pointed them out in the cold case too. Alas, no more New Britain Bev Mart but at least this store, Middletown, and Wallingford are still around, and I think they've got it all.

He said, "if I carry it, I'll take it." As a first time customer I thought this was a bit unnecessary. He obliged and took my bottles and I bought a 12 pack of cold beer on a hot day. I then searched for the rules on bottle deposit returns in CT and learned that, indeed, a retailer is only obligated to accept brands that they sell.

There was so much to look through, & the place was packed and really well stocked. 1 thing I really liked was seeing all the friendly vendors throughout the store giving out free samples of different spirits. It made walking around & browsing a little more fun, especially w/ so many different brands to check out. The prices were ok, but I'd say they lean more toward the higher side. You can def find some good deals, though, especially if you catch one of their sales. The cashier wasn't the friendliest or patient, which was prob the only negative part of my visit. Other than that, I had no complaints. The store was huge, packed w/ products, well stocked,& had plenty to look at. Def a place where you can walk in for 1 thing & somehow spend way more time browsing than you planned.
