I placed an Uber Eats order through Blanchards and accidentally ended up with an automatic wine…read moresubstitution I wouldn't have chosen. That part was not a big deal, and I fully understand that the substitution settings may have been my mistake. Since the Uber Eats driver had not yet arrived at the store, I called Blanchards simply to ask whether it might still be possible to swap the replacement for something else. The man who answered the phone was unbelievably sassy, rude, and condescending from the outset. Before I could even explain what I was asking, he interrupted me with, "Stop. What's your name first? What's your name?" I gave him my name and calmly explained that I was just wondering whether the replacement could still be changed. His response was, "Sweetheart, let me give you a little lesson in how this works." I politely told him that I understood how Uber Eats works and was only asking whether, since the driver had not arrived yet, there was any possibility of changing the replacement. He then called me "sweetheart" again and told me the item had already been rung up. Had he simply said, "I'm sorry, once the order is processed we can't change it," that would have been completely fine. I would have thanked him and moved on. The wine substitution itself was never the issue. What I found unacceptable was being spoken to like an idiot and repeatedly called "sweetheart" by a sassy male employee when I had been perfectly polite throughout the conversation. There was absolutely no reason for the attitude or the condescension. I've rarely felt compelled to write a review over a phone interaction, but this was genuinely appalling customer service. A simple "sorry, we can't change it" would have taken ten seconds and accomplished exactly the same thing without the condescending little "lesson in how this works."

I went the other day to pick up a couple bottles of bourbon and a pound of coffee from Starbucks. Sure enough there was an employee standing by my car waiting to reprimand me. Why doesn't this phase me? Because it's West Roxbury. Easily the grumpiest people north of Rhode Island. I use wine-searcher.com to compare prices on wine and bourbon. Macy's consistently shows up towards the top of the list with the best prices. They had the best prices in the state for Elijah Craig ($8 cheaper than Blanchards) and Angel's Envy ($5 cheaper than Blanchards). They have their inventory on their website so you know what you're going to pay before setting foot in the store. Many traditional package stores have yet to discover cyberspace. The store itself is small but the selection is really everything you need unless you're a hipster and only drink wines from third world countries. They have a case with some first growth Bordeaux and vintage champagne; and even a bottle of everyone's holy grail, Screaming Eagle. The bourbon selection was impressive. The only bottle missing was Blanton's, but that's sold out at a lot of places. I'll never be loyal to a liquor store since they all have their pros and cons. My advice is to do your homework before you go in so you know if you're getting ripped off or not. Macy's has some great prices, so I'll be sure to return. Just try not to piss off the parking lot nazis.

I won't be shopping here anymore…read more This morning there was a goon patrolling the parking lot, rudely telling people they weren't allowed to park there unless they were shopping at Macy's. My husband told this cretin that we shop there on a regular basis, to which the chucklehead responded, "well, you aren't shopping here right now so it doesn't matter". My husband said, "fine, I won't be shopping here anymore" and the goon said, "not my problem". Inside, the manager was just as rude, informing us that we can shop where ever we choose. FINE! I'm happy to go to Blanchards, where the employees aren't assholes. Blanchards has a better selection of craft beers; both the West Roxbury and JP locations. There's nothing nice about Macy's except their sign. I understand the desire to keep the newly paved parking lot available for Macy's customers. That request could have been conveyed in a less confrontational manner, to better end. There are better liquor stores elsewhere, with parking. Simple decision.

So I don't post reviews typically. But seeing some of the negative reviews just doesn't make sense…read more I'm a bourbon guy and now I guess can be considered someone who collects and enjoys. I don't flip bottles because I think bourbon should be enjoyed. When I first found out that Kappy's and Jimmy (Sprints Director) were creating a new club (1940 Barrel Society) I was intrigued. Wasn't quite sure what to expect as I hadn't been in a club like that before. After talking with Jimmy over the past few months, I've seen major progress in revamping the whisk(e)y selection. It's not just a single aisle, but and entire back wall of the store! It's also not just the same stuff you can find elsewhere. There are definitely some gems at the store. I feel like I've gotten to know Jimmy pretty well, enough for him to know what I would probably like. And you know something? He's right a lot of the time. Some of the 1940 Barrel Society's barrels have been fantastic. Can't speak for all of them as I haven't tried them all. They also aren't going for just the mass market brands either. I enjoy expanding both my collection and knowledge of different types and subtypes of whisk(e)y. The society also allows me to collect cards when I purchase some of the bottles that I can redeem for the opportunity to buy, what some may call, prized or allocated bottles. Can't say I've won just yet, but here's hoping. I'm realistic enough to know that I'm not going to win every time nor should I. Overall I'm pretty excited to see what the future has for both the selection and the 1940 Barrel Society.

Vino Italiano is an Italian only wine shop that specializes in high end wine. Located at the top of…read moreMoody Street, on Main St, it's easy to miss. Good: selection is great, it's organized very well, and if you collect high end wine, you can do well here. They also have high end dinners (with the food coming from their restaurant, La Campania, located just down the street) where they bring in a wine maker and pair the wines with food. It's fabulous! Average: while the store is very open about being Italian wine focused, that's tough to swallow as it's super, super narrow in focus. I love Italian wine but I rarely go out of my way to buy just Italian wine and that has held me from shopping here more. The prices are local store retail type prices. Not tons of value. Bad: the staff is often pretty inattentive.

It is warm and inviting. Not sure what the tables in the center of the store are for, but they were stocked with books on wine and there were wine glasses, so I'm assuming it was for your own education or during tastings. The staff seemed a little pre-occupied with bustling about the store. It is a new store, so I'm going to forgive them this time for not being friendly and asking us if we needed any help or even introducing themselves. In fairness, one person did offer a suggestion which was nice, but the other walked past us fairly briskly without so much as a "hi". Hopefully, next time I stop back in to tell them about the wine I purchased they'll be willing to chat it up. Pricing was reasonable to high end, I saw bottles from $13.99-$56.

I live near San Francisco, and the Boston I remember from years ago had tiny selections of bulk-production wine. Not this place. The center of the store is completely filled with wine racks, with well-chosen assortments. There are strong collections of Italian, Chilean, Argentinian, New Zealand, French and California wines, and many of my favorites are here. Hundreds of wines, pinot grigios, sauvignon blancs and chardonnays, many nice sparkling wines, many varied reds. Going over to the liquor section, there are excellent tequilas, whiskeys and whiskys, dark rums, gins, and a large and varied vodka section. I only glanced at the beer and cigar sections, but what I saw also seemed surprisingly nice. The best part is, after asking for a premium and wonderful tequila I have never found on the right coast, the proprietor asked me to write it down so he could order some. If you don't find your favorite thing here, just ask, as the family that owns the store really wants to make their customers happy.
