They are very knowledgable and I was impressed at how much this young kid knew about wines. The selections varies a tiny bit form that of the LCBO, the selection of VQA wines is not as diverse but is is compensated by a selection of liquors with Maple Syrup in them. I love a place that sells wines, I could spend several hours there.

"So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society…read morehowl" (Elton John) The SAQ stands for the Société des Alcools du Québec. It's the network of government-run liquor stores in Quebec. It manages the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages across the province and operates its own retail stores. We were fortunate enough to win a gift card to SAQ at a charity event last week, so one of our final visits in Montreal was to walk over to this small store at the Place D'Armes and pick up whatever we could for our C$50 prize. Although the store wasn't very large it was very neat and fully stocked, with prices clearly marked for every bottle and can in the store. One of their sales associates was very friendly and helped us find what we were looking for. I'm a big Bloody Mary fan, and from previous trips to Canada knew that "Bloody Caesars" are favored up here. The differ from a Bloody Mary by using Clamato juice instead of a tomato juice base. So, when I saw a shelf with plenty of Clamato choices, I knew one would be coming home with me. I selected a 16 ounce can of Clamato Caesar "With the Works" (Le Tour Garni) with extra spices, seasonings, hot sauce and horseradish (C$3.80). We rounded out our purchase with a bottle of Cliff 79 Shiraz (C$11.75), a bottle of Folonari Pinot Grigio (C$14.95), a bottle of Casa Santos Sangria (C$12.45), and a nifty little branded tote bag for (C$2.95). The only down note of our visit concerned a bottle of SIVO blueberry liqueur I had hoped to buy. I had some at a social function on Thursday night and liked it so much I took a photo of the bottle. When I showed the photo to the sales associate, he not only told me they didn't carry it, but he also told me it was just syrup, and not alcoholic. He said any grocery store would have it. I learned that he was wrong, it is an alcoholic product made in a Canadian distillery.

I hate how in Montreal the SAQ, the alcohol control of Quebec, has the gambit on many alcoholic…read morebeverages. For example, although you can buy bottles of wine in the grocery store, they are generic reds or whites with no year. However, only at the SAQ can you buy good wine. Only at the SAQ can you buy microbrew beer from the US. Only at the SAQ can you buy liquor. Nevertheless, I can't let this bullshit control board cloud the review of the SAQ itself. I like that the SAQ depot exists because the more you buy, the more you save. For instance, if you buy 3 bottles of wine, you save 3%, if you buy 6 bottles you save 10% and if you buy 12 bottles you save 15%. Saving money is always good! While they may not have the best of selections, like other SAQs (e.g. SAQ Selection), they do have a fair representation of each region. Also you can achieve the same savings on liquor, which is nice...you can even mix and match, with 3 bottles of liquor and 9 bottles of wine and still save 15%. IMHO, this is the best place to buy proper alcohol in Quebec at a decent savings.

One such experience was when a customer flew into a huge rage because English was being spoken in the store. The other very recent experience unfortunately came from an employee I'd never seen there before. He said something very fast in French as a customer was entering the store. She did not understand him and she just nodded and continued toward the interior of the shop. He kept shouting the words in French until the customer asked if he spoke English. He angrily explained that he needed to see proof of vaccination. He went on to accuse the customer of ignoring people who speak French. The customer apologized at least three times and even said that she appreciated that vaccination proof was required. The man never accepted or replied to the apology. Each time she apologized he continued in silence to give the customer a very angry expression and this made the customer cry.

They are really respecting COVID regulations which I appreciate. However, they make everyone take a basket (the big bulky ones that you push) and the aisles aren't wide enough so it was hard to move through the store. it would have been better if they just counted the number of people or gave us the option to take a hand held basket. All in all, staff were helpful and the selection is what will bring me back to this location.

I took the bus 24 to get there from downtown during my lunch. The prices are regulated so whatever they sell in this store, if they have it at a different SAQ store will be the exact same price. The staff were relatively polite (although the person manning the cash register only spoke to me in French even after I replied to him in English that I would be paying by credit card) and the store was very clean and well organised.
