    Weller allocation release #blue
    Frank F.

    Whenever I'm in Boston I plan to visit Gary at his store. Gary's Liquors opened it's doors in 1942, one of Boston's oldest and largest retailers of fine wine, spirits, and beer, and the crazy thing is they also have a Deli in the store. Great staff, very knowledgeable and they share some great finds. The inside isn't very big, but well organized and well lit. I love the rare allocation releases'. On this special release day we got to the store around 45 minutes before it opened. Gary walked down the line and gave everyone a free Buffalo Trace nip, that was so amazing. I was with my son and son-in-law, all 3 of us scored a rare Weller Full Proof. I can't find the Weller 107 anywhere in the state of Arizona, never mind this beauty. The line outside was well over a hundred deep, this is a testament to good business sense and customer satisfaction. They are located in a plaza with plenty of parking and easy access.

    The fake application be ause they all say they are not hiring over the phone

    Never inquire for a job DNT WORK HERE THE OWNER (GARY) is extremely rude called me obnoxious when inquiring for a job employees lie state that they are full in positions but have an add up on indeed.com to not inquire YOU WILL REGRET WORKI G WITH THESE PEOPLE the owner should be embarrassed on how his employees talk to people terrible customer service and they lie I am a known resident in west Roxbury and ill never step even a pinky toe in that dirty store

    Mustard sub with pastrami

    Pastrami was cold and there was more mustard than meat...literally! Also, the sub wasn't cut. Worst lunch sandwich I've gotten in my life.

    a bone of meat and rice

    Best deals in town. Wine selection is perfection. I drive over 30 mins just to get here. Don't miss the deals at Gary's!

    The only problem I have is that now I live on the other side of the city, and it's a long haul to get down to West Roxbury.

    Do not waste your time going to this joke of a liquor store. Hands down the worst customer service…read moreI've ever experienced. My boyfriend and I went to buy a few bottles of wine to celebrate an occasion. We're both from Maine so we have out of state licenses. I'm 23 & he's 24. She carded both of us, as expected. We were super polite and gave both our ID's to her. First she scanned mine, which wouldn't go through. Mind you, neither of our IDs are expired either. She handed it back to me and said she couldn't sell to us. I politely asked if she could try again or if I could show multiple second forms of ID. She said no and proceeded to mock me, saying "I don't care if you're 54, I'm not selling to you." Next, my boyfriend asked if she could try his, assuming her machine was broken. She continued to say no until finally trying his which also wouldn't go though. Again, we're both well above age and frustrated at this point. We then asked politely if she could try a different machine, as we didn't want to have to venture to an entirely different store and we are, OF AGE. She continued to say no in a rude and off-putting tone. I'm disgusted with the way we were treated and I will never be stepping foot back here. I suggest you don't waste your time.

    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.

    I shouldn't even give this place 1 star..

I immediately pulled out my ID but explained that my younger sister, a minor, was not of legal age but accompanied me because I AM HER LEGAL GUARDIAN. The manager immediately told me to leave, and stated that he would not be serving me and that it is "illegal to bring a minor into Total Wine" I fired back and asked "Even if I leave her in the vehicle?" He shouted to "GET OUT OF HIS STORE!!" and chased my sister and I out. I cooled down and immediately looked up Total Wines policy which states "To help in this effort, we don't allow any person under the age of 21 to enter our store unless accompanied by an adult guardian of legal drinking age*. All parties in a group may be required to present identification. If you appear to be age 30 or under, our team members will ask for identification to ensure we are doing everything we can to prevent sales to minors. It's our responsibility to our neighbors and the community." So I returned to the store, and calmly explained that I read over Total Wine's policy on their website & that I am her legal guardian, I am of legal drinking age and that I shouldn't have been wrongly chased out. He processed to walk up to my face, nose to nose and threatened "TO LEAVE HIS STORE BEFORE IT GETS UGLY". I left Total Wine in Dedham and proceeded to head over to Dedham Police Headquarters to report the incident. I do not appreciate being wrongfully escorted out, I do not appreciate being shouted at, and finally do NOT appreciate being threatened by the manager of this bullshit establishment. As a former retail store manager, I hope your company retrains managers to speak to every customer in a respectful manner instead of power tripping when they're proven wrong.
