The new shop boosts an impressive array of Ale & Lager coolers with a chilled behind-the-scenes browsing space. Ample shelf and floor displays for the bottled spirits and wines. Knowledgeable staff eager to assist & recommend. But most astonishing is their Fine Wine Closet (aka Environment Controlled Chiller). Yes, the prices do reflect the use of the Chiller, but again, if you're a discerning shopper or collector you've got to add This Wise Old Dog to your list!

I'm a regular since their opening this past year. Every visit the selection, of wines, liquors, and craft beers has gotten better and betterer.

Inside, I hoped to find a new replenishment of Scotch Whiskey or a new Craft Ale. We browsed slightly, prices tempting, but we (she) stayed firm on our objective. Of course, it's almost on the back corner and rows of wine and every hard liquor and beer imaginable. We grabbed our beloved Kahlúa only (with a tear welling up). Another day, "Bruce the Crazy," we will be back to fully replenish.

What made this one stand out to me though is that it had exactly what I was looking for. I had been searching for a specific rum all over CT now that not even total wine had (and they have everything) so I was pleasantly surprised when i found it. Even more so by how friendly the guy behind the counter was, he said if there was anything I ever wanted all I had to do was ask and he could get it for me, and that is exactly the type of customer service you can expect at this place. The layout itself is really nice, very well kept and clean, if you need cash theres an atm, and theres a bag policy too so make sure not to bring in a big bag unless you want to leave it at the counter. There's also a website and app for added convenience, and they host events sometimes too. Truly a one stop shop for all your liquor needs, specialty or otherwise.

I was able to find some pretty affordable sake, and the cashier even suggested some new and popular wines that they have, which I thought was nice.

Don't fooled by the cooler cases and be sure to step into the beer cave to see the full selection! Super nice, super helpful, good prices, great selection--not much to say about the decor!
