I asked him what wines he liked, and he said, "I always like a good New Zealand Sau Bla." Fortunately I knew that was bartender for Sauvignon Blanc, so the next day I headed to the Kahn's web site, shopped a little, and picked out one from the Marlborough region, feeling pretty confident about my choice thanks to the description on the Kahn's web site. I ordered it online, went in to pick it up, and even was able to get a nice gift bag on site. Thank you, Kahn's! When I gave it to him, he literally gushed. It turns out he had bought that himself several years ago, and liked it so well that his restaurant served it for about a year. I had definitely struck gold! Thank you, Kahn's, for making the whole experience very easy for me, and a positive one for him!

With no advanced information as to inventory I gave them a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at their vast selection. The prices were spot on as well with no additional mark up beyond MSRP. However, the service left me terribly disappointed. The clerk offered no help I left with no purchases. If the clerk had offered assistance or even smiled this store is a solid 4. So 3.5 fits them perfectly in my book.

I was directed here by the Cardinal Spirits website as a place to find their products. Although Discount Liquors doesn't carry the full line, they were able to help me find the Bramble Vodka that I was looking for. I like when local products are available to purchase conveniently. This location also carries local wines and beers as well. Of course, they still carry most of the big name options as well, but this store is smaller in size than the big warehouse type liquor stores. Still, I like supporting the independent and smaller businesses when I can, so I recommend giving this shop a try. Review #2119

My husband wanted only a 6 pack, but they only carried a 12 pack so he had to get that. I was greeted when I walked in, which was nice. They do ask for your ID at checkout, and even though only my husband was purchasing something, we both had to show our IDs. The pricing seemed fair. The store itself is pretty typical for a liquor store ambiance, with aisles of different options and some items kept in the refrigerated cases. Nothing fancy or over the top, but it's convenient if they carry what you're looking for. For my husband, this is a good go to because they have his preferred beer. But I'd say it's 50/50 since they didn't have what I wanted and he had to purchase more than what he wanted.

But, alas, we live on the east side, so we are blessed with Elite Beverages. I am thankful for Elite. Sitting here in my home without pulling up Google Maps, I can't think of another liquor store around me. The closest one I would visit would have to be Chilly's in Greenfield, but I don't want a 30 minute round trip and Elite is easy to hit on my way home. So, while I am not always impressed with Elite, I am thankful it is near by my place of residence. The store has a decent selection. Not great. Not bad. It's just a smaller store. They pack a lot in (read: the aisles are tight), but sometimes I just can't find what I am looking for. The attendants are kind, but I wouldn't say overly helpful. I am sure they would help if I ask, though. They just do their thing behind the counter. My only real gripe is the store layout. The dedicated spirit aisles are nice (tequila, rum, vodka) and I actually didn't realize how large their whiskey and bourbon selection was, so that's a positive. No, my gripe is with the wine. It is spread out all over the place. Whites here, Indiana wines there. They have a nice wooden wine rack, but it is literally where people line up to pay, so you feel like you are in everyone's way or they are staring at you. It the wine was just on the other side of the room, I'd be tempted to bump this up to 4 stars. I can't help but wonder: Is the liquor store supposed to be elite or their products? Like, "We are Elite. We offer beverages." Or, "We are a store. We sell elite beverages"? I am guessing the beverages. Maybe with 3 stars they should consider a name change. I did learn something important today: listen to people who know what they are talking about. I normally don't think about wine pairings. I like dry red so that is what I drink. Steak: dry red. Chicken: dry red. Pasta: dry red. But someone gave me a piece of advice I decided to heed. For dinner, I had bagged caesar salad. I do love a good caesar salad! Is bagged salad good? Sometimes. It was easy and sounded good. Well, the advice was to have a nice, crisp fruity Riesling with a caesar salad. Would that do the trick? Would that elevate this bagged caesar to gourmet status? Well, dang it if it didn't work. The riesling made the salad sing to my taste buds. Every bite was brisk and refreshing. Listen to people who are in the know and may know more than you. Words to live by, in my book!

They are willing to do searches and contact me once the item I'm looking for comes in. This store has a really nice and large selection of vodkas ranging from low end to fancy flavors to a few higher end vodkas. I opted for a mid range large bottle that's 100 proof. Since I mix it with sweet beverages I am not that picky about my vodka:) However, I was looking instead for our favorite scotches ... Grant's. Unfortunately, they don't carry Grant's, but they do have Famous Grouse which is really a close second. I'm not even going to say i've had a lot of different kinds of scotch whiskey, but I have had enough to have an opinion now. Their prices on most essential beverages are competitive.

I had two people stop by and ask if they could help me out in different sections of the store, and they walked by and did the same to everybody that was looking and didn't seem to have found what they were looking for.
