Poor Richard's wine store had a wonderful selection of wines. The people who ran the store were very knowledgeable on what wines to taste and to buy. They also had cheeses and crackers that I could purchase for my friends that evening. Highly recommend the store. read more

You could throw a dart at any wine in the shop and it will great. The owner takes the time to get to know your taste and always make a great recommendation that's in your price point. Anne can wax poetic about any wine(or any subject if you like. Get off the big box train and take your wine experience to the next level read more

Cultivated, interesting array of European wines. If you're a wine lover, you will appreciate the selection. A real gem for the suburbs.

Pour Richards is the genius's desk of package stores. So much brilliance indecipherably scattered about, and the only person who can make sense of it all is likely assisting other customers. Because they, like you, need an inventory legend. And yes, there are signs for wine varietals and region, but they thrice did not have a desired bottle or style where it "should have been." Perhaps it's because they're truly a craft beer, wine and spirit store sandwiched in to an easy-to-pass retail front somewhere off the loop in Franklin, and therefore, are THE hot commodity for a discerning palate. A constant stream of customers means restocks fall behind, and not everything can be set in its rightful spot. But I was a customer in a hurry, and the sole employee (appropriately) tended to the two other folks in the shop before being able to point me to a Sancerre, a reasonable prosecco and answer a question about two differing price tags on a case of Mayflower. Easy to browse if booze is your bag, but your best suited to call in an order and pick it up later - 'twas a bit stressful to simply meander. read more

We stumbled onto Pour Richards Wine and Spirits while we were on are way to Cube Smart next door. They have an unusual selections of wines in known to me. We bought 3 bottles of wine home and they all were great. A bonus find was gluten-free beer for my daughter. They also sponsor local events to raise money for local charities. We will return. read more

How fortunate I was to spend an uneventful evening in Franklin. While waiting for the early ferry to Martha's Vineyard last Saturday evening, I Yelped liquor stores. While heading there I thought the directions were wrong. However, in a nondescript building, there appeared Pour Richards. The second I entered, I knew this was the ultimate find. The inventory is incredible' however, at 8:45 pm to meet the passionate and professional owner Ann was mind blowing. Maybe as a good an experience in a liquor store as one can have. Actually taste testing a product? Being educated while I buy? Thank you. My wife and son loved your whiskey recommendation. read more

RUN, do not walk, here! hopefully you'll get there in time for whatever tastings they're pouring that day, and you'll try something of which you'll want to buy cases. because the wine is tasty, and prices are that good. it's not a huge selection, but the bottles they do have are literally jaw-dropping. I found a domestic bottle that a) I cannot find anywhere, and b) would go for twice the price elsewhere. the couple owner-operators clearly have a passion for wine they're not afraid to share. I can only hope they continue to make a profit so that I can visit over and over again! it's prob a good thing I live across the country because otherwise we'd have no more money, but a lot more wine. ps don't forget to check out the bargain boat. read more

Thank you for opening your business. You are helpful, knowledgable, generous to the community and in my opinion, ROCK! I love that everything is outside of the box. No cookie cutter options here. I love the events you have too! read more

If you were to design and execute the perfect local liquor shop, I believe you would end up with Pour Richards. They have a large selection of quality products with a caring and knowledgeable staff that will guide you, give you samples, or simply leave you be to explore. This is not a mega mart intent on selling you as much as possible. Instead, Pour Richards is intent on helping you discover what you will enjoy! Great experience! read more

Franklin is lucky to have this gem of a shop! The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable and gives great recommendations-I have never been steered wrong by their picks. I didn't know much about wine, but they have turned me on to my favorite rose, which the owner calls "porch wine". Most of the store is reasonably priced- but they also have those exceptional items for when you are in the mood for something special. read more

There are plenty of liquor stores in and around Franklin, but Pour Richard's is so different from the others that you can't put it in the same category. Let me tell you why. First of all, there's Ann, who is one of the owners. She's been in the beer/wine/liquor business for many years, not as a retailer, but as a distributor. A distributor gets to see lots of stores, and knows what works and what doesn't. She also works with the producers, giving her inside knowledge of wines, beers and liquors. Because of this background, she can answer questions about what she stocks from her broad and deep knowledge. Knowing all those things also means that she can stock her store with things that many other retailers don't know about, like micro-distillers who are new and small, but produce excellent whiskeys. And of course, the same goes for beers and wine. You'll have choices you don't have at other stores, and an extremely knowledgeable sales person to help you make the choice that is right for you. Plus, it's not too busy and you have the time, you can get a great education from Ann about everything from the history Scotch to why a particular winery make unique wines. The other thing you have at Pour Richard's is a store that it is part of the community. They sponsor fund raisers for many organizations within Franklin. They get to know their customers, and most of all, they like what they're doing. The store itself has room for people to move around and talk during the daily (yes, daily!) wine tastings. There's a boat of wine (literally) that contains bottles from incomplete cartons. Ann gets them cheaper that way, and you get a good wine at a better price because of it. The place is not the easiest to find at first, but once you've been there once, you realize that it's really easy and fast to get to. It's actually no further from West Main Street than half the stores in Franklin Village, but with much less traffic and parking that is much closer to the door. Highly recommended. read more

This new business in Franklin is the place to shop for wine and beer if you are looking for good advice, an out of the ordinary selection, and very fair prices. I stopped in for the first time out of curiosity and left with two bottles of wine that were recommenced by the owners. Both were wonderful. I did a little checking on line for price and was pleasantly surprised. I would have been happy to pay a few dollars more for local availability and support a local business, but in fact, I paid less than so called "on line discounters". They do tastings during the week. I am definitely a fan of this place. It's a "hard to find" place that carries "hard to find wine", but once you find it, you're onto something special. read more

Went in for Father's Day weekend (My dad is a beer drinker) and was looking for something new to bring to him. John the owner showed me the deals they did, as well as how you can build your own six pack and then we ended up picking a combo of wheat beer and an ipa which my dad loved. It was something new and paired great with the BBQ! Thank you to John for the assistance! Would definitely shop here again! read more

I just checked this place out after reading the other review. Its a really interesting wine store in franklin. As far as I can tell the best place to get interesting wine in the area. I met the coowner in the store and she seems really friendly and knowledgable. They have a lot of hard to find wine with prices that seem reasonable to me. read more

Friendly knowledgeable service. Learned about Tuscan wines today at special event. Really like the personal help in choosing just the right wine at the right price to bring to a dinner party. read more

I discovered Pour Richards by chance with three friends and could not have had a better experience. We were just going to stop in on the way to dinner to grab a few bottles for parties and gifts but ended up doing an impromptu tasting and staying for about an hour. Ann was so knowledgable, I learned a lot of fun facts and found some fabulous new wines. I enjoy a good wine, but I'm in no way an expert and this store is a great place to expand my tastes! I'm excited to check out the beer selection as well the next time I'm down there. read more

This the best wine store in the area. It has a great selection of wine in all price categories. Anne and John are both extremely knowledgeable in the wines/liquor they sell and can steer you in the right direction. What's great about the store is the wine sampling bar, they are always offering wines to sample and a great way to try something new. It will get you out of your comfort zone. I walked in one day and Anne asked if I wanted to try a Rose'. My remembrance of it was Mateus from my younger days. Now I don't pass up anything she has to offer and rely on her expertise. A 5 wine bottle rating Richard I read more

Love this place! You always get good suggestions if you need them. We had a delicious rose last night, and it was only around $12. Don't wast your time at other stores that don't know their product. You'll find yourself going back again and again. What a great find! read more

Pour Richards is a unique wine/liquor/beer shop in Franklin right near 495. There is always something going on and the events are community-minded. They truly dedicate themselves to their surrounding communities. Stop in....even if you don't enjoy alcohol, they have specialty tonic water and sodas too. read more

This is so much more than just a liquor store! The owners are incredibly helpful and I love their unique selections of wines and beers.
