I cannot believe how fantastic the customer service is at this liquor store, and I wish other…read morestores (of all types) would get on board! It feels nostalgic, even: They're friendly & polite, ask if I need help finding anything (especially if I look lost or confused), have been extremely knowledgeable any time I've asked for a recommendation, and just yesterday surprised me when they even offered to gift wrap any of the liquor if I needed it. They put the bottle in a silver bag and tied it off with ribbons after offering me my choice from the colors available. Remarkable. Another level of service that is rare to find anymore. I stopped by this store for the first time about 8 months ago, and now I try to only shop here. I'd highly recommend them.

Nice quiet mom and pop package store. Decent selection of beer and wine. Seemingly had a nice…read morespirit selection and will return to take a closer look. The charm of the store is the location and the overall local vibe. There was a nice wine tasting on property when I went in to grab some weekend adult beverages and the lady was super friendly and informative (almost got me to purchase a bottle). Had I not had planned beverages I would have sprung for a bottle of red. Can't go wrong with a nice bottle of dry red. All in all a very pleasant purchase. Between the vibe, selection, and interaction with what I believe to be ownership at check out, I would recommend a visit for all your adult beverage needs!! Cheers to the weekend!!

We found a reliable amount of cold beer and cider, and an impressive amount of chilled wine (and…read moreroom temp beer and wine of course), plus some local beer and wine offerings to extend the range of our small-town vacation. Since our little one was patient with us, the kind clerk gave her a lollipop when we left. Carmine's isn't large as Total Wine or CBM but isn't exactly a shoe box either, and seemed well-stocked for its size. Perfect!

Not only is there no wheelchair ramp for rolling a half-barrel down on a hand truck, but no one on staff appears physically capable (nor willing) to assist.

Just don't go here, I came to this store with my boyfriend who was purchasing alcohol. We USE to go…read morehere all the time, he is newly 21 so I usually get away with not bringing in my ID since I'm 3 years older than him and this is a store we frequently go to. Well last time we went we both got carded no biggie, I walked all the way outside to get my id for this miserable lady and when I came back in and showed her my id she had the nerve to snatch it from me, then when I tried to retrieve it back she wouldn't give it to me!!!! Then proceeded to say I'm kicked out. FINE BY ME !!!! Clearly customer service isn't a thing anymore or even just being a decent human being, because I have carded people at my own job and never in my life would I snatch something out of another grown ass persons hand. do yourself a favor and drive to East Lyme if you need to go to the package store.

This is pretty much your average big wine and liquor shop. Like the other shops in the Grand Wine &…read moreSpirits chain, the vast majority of what you find here is wine that you can buy pretty much anywhere. However, like the other branch I've been to, there are some gems to be found. There is a small area of higher end selections and they do have sales on this. I was able to get a bottle of 2008 Dom Perignon and a bottle of Caymus on sale, as well as a bottle of Opus One (not on sale, but still delicious). If you want every day wine, you can find it here. If you want higher end wine, the selection is rather limited but there are bottles to be found here as well.

Liquor is liquor, so I have no problem with the alcohol sold here. I am fairly new to the area and…read moresince this liquor store is closest by far, I have gone to it a few times. The reason for my one-star rating is due to the lack of customer service and the odd acting employees as you shop and checkout. While standing in line it seems as though I am in a horror movie. The four or so employees give bad looks and it seems like it is because they are not used to and do not like strangers. Cheer up, people; we are not cattle. Someday you may have a competitive store pop up and force you to act nice.
