    Wines And More! is a wine & spirits store that opened in Milford, Connecticut in 2005. Since 2012,…read morethe owner has been Jeff Wilson. After working in the corporate world for over 20 years, Wilson decided to leave and pursue his passion for wine and spirits. He took over the store and put his own mark on it. Wilson has an affinity for Spanish, French and California wines as well as fine sipping rums and tequilas. The shop features a selection of well over 5,000 wines (including many rare ones), artisanal spirits, craft beer and ready-to-drink cocktails. Wines And More! has its own clubs for whiskey, wine, and craft beer fans and frequently hosts in-store tastings as well as off-site wine dinners. A second (now unrelated) location opened on Eastern Steel Road in 2007. I've been doing business with Wines And More! for several years now. They're not too far away from where I work, so I frequently will stop by before heading home for the day. I recently stopped by to pick up some craft beer cans. I'm a member of the store's Craft Beer Club and frequently get e-mailed whenever they have some new arrivals. One thing that I like is that you don't need to commit to a full six-pack or four-pack. The store features a cooler full of single cans where customers can assemble their own mixed four-pack. I took home a nice collection of cans from some of my favorite breweries like Other Half Brewing, Evil Twin Brewing, and Twelve Percent Beer Project. A representative from Massachusetts-based Jack's Abby Craft Lagers was on hand to offer samples of some of their newer offerings for tasting. I decided to try their Blood Orange Wheat Radler. I also ran into an old classmate of mine who was running a wine tasting. After sampling a few ones, I decided to take home a bottle of Spanish Tempranillo for my wife and I to enjoy with dinner. It was delicious! I'll continue to shop at Wines And More! for years to come!

    I truly hate giving this place a bad review, but I gave them every opportunity to rectify an issue…read moreand they straight up refused to do so. I've been going here for quite some time as they tend to have several items that other local places don't. One item is Zing Zang margarita mix in the 1.75ml size. Earlier in the year I stopped in to pick some up and didn't see any. A stock clerk said he had just stocked some and mentioned to check the date as some of the bottles were out of code (passed their expiration date). I picked up the one bottle within it's expiration date and was on my way assuming the clerk was going to get rid of the rest. The next time I needed this product was early May. I stopped in, grabbed a bottle and because of my last experience, I checked the expiration date. The date listed on the bottle was "BEST BY 01/18/22". I know that this lime-based product has an unusually-long shelf life, so this means the product had to have been sitting on the shelf for an extremely long time. When I checked out, I mentioned to the clerk at the register that there were several bottles of 1.75ml Zing Zang margarita mix that were about 4 MONTHS PASSED THEIR EXPIRATION DATE. He thanked me for letting him know as said he'd take care of it. I thought nothing more of it and was on my way. Three weeks later I stopped in again to get ready for Memorial Day and stopped by the margarita mix section. Unfortunately, I saw there were at least 4 bottles of the very same Zing Zang with the same expiration date. This time, I brought one of the bottles up to the register to show the clerk in hopes that would inspire the store to do something about their out-of-date inventory. I was met by an unsmiling and seemingly extremely unhappy older woman. I handed her the bottle and explained that it was over 4 months past it's expiration date, and that I just wanted to bring it to their attention. She said NOTHING to me. Just set it down next to the register, rang up my order and asked if I wanted a receipt. No "Thanks for letting us know" or even a simple "Thanks" for shopping here. Not my first interaction with this person, so her total lack of cordiality was nothing new. Last week I stopped in and just had to check their mixer aisle. Sure enough, three bottles of the very same Zing Zang sitting there - NOW OVER 5 MONTHS PASSED IT'S EXPIRATION DATE. I'm going to assume that the other bottles were sold to customers who assumed this establishment is keeping a responsible eye on the expiration dates of their inventory. Hopefully those customers didn't get sick. Hey, I tried! While the store is kept clean, well decorated, stocked with unusual items and most of the staff are nice, this is a deal breaker for me. If it weren't for this inexcusable oversight, I would have given a much higher rating. But after three opportunities to correct a potential health risk, I won't be back.
