Been going there for a couple years now and absolutely love this store and the employees. Khemarith and his employees always take the time to answer any questions and he is also very informative on their store barrel picks which I have tried several of and they have all been fantastic! The raffle system is a great way to generate interest in the barrel pick program. He also was able to order a special liqueur that is only available on the West Coast (Damiana liqueur). I had asked Khemarith if he could get it.... They called me the next week to let me know they had the bottle that I had inquired about! Excellent customer service. I look forward to continue shopping there and hope to attend one of the tastings / seminars sometime.

I went to the register and provided my NYC ID for the glaring mustached guy. He looked at it and before smugly explaining that he couldn't accept it because it was out of state, he grabbed the bottle and put it on the far counter behind him. What, as if I was going to grab it and run?! I have to agree with the prior reviews - I thought that a UNITED States government issued ID was valid in the UNITED STATES. Changing their policy to accept valid forms of ID would not only make sense, but it would make them more money. At this point, I will happily take my money elsewhere.

Macy's liquors. It's been there during the good times, and the bad. When I'm in need, I can count on Macy's to open their door to me. Reality is, these days. It's hard to feel like you can count on anyone. I don't easily call somebody my "friend." Except for Macy's. They are loyal and true. Thank you, and I look forward to coming again, my friend. read more

They have a few tequilas, whiskeys, vodkas, gins, wine, beers etc. So you can probably get what you need. We have ordered delivery (I want to say its a $20 minimum) from here and the driver's are always nice and great communicators. Street parking, again its small so if you want a jack and coke, you got it, if you're looking for a 15 year islay, well... you wont find it, but want to be friends?

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."

Suddenly, when I asked to speak to someone who could better understand me, Edward came on the line and said -- suddenly-- that the manager had decided not to take the order. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told he was "tied up". Bottom line -- used to be friendly and helpful. Not anymore. Too bad.
