This is my new go-to package store…read more A lot of package stores are pretty similar, so when I decide if I like it or not it's really based off the people behind the counter. These owners and workers are super friendly. The kind of owners where if you asked them to stock something, they'd probably go out of their way to get it for you. Their inventory has a great selection of local and classic IPAs, and a very extensive malt beverages section. I've never been unable to find something I want here, and have even picked up a few things I hadn't seen before. The parking is somewhat awkward. But it's not a big deal. A+ for service.

Owned by the same individual who owns a bunch…read moreof bigger stores throughout the state, Ye Old benefits from this ownership as it gets access to the product selection of a store many times its size. Think of Ye Old as a boutique booze shop. Small in size but impressive in selection, especially for whiskey and craft beer. Honestly, Ye Old has one of the better craft beer selections in the state, meticulously curated by the manager Nathan, who's an enormous craft beer fan himself. And the whiskey selection is world class, thanks to the owner being one the best whiskey retailers in the state through his many stores. This is a hidden gem in Wallingford with a loyal following among discerning drinkers in the area. Another term for it is "honey hole."

I visit the one by my house pretty frequently because it is large and has a huge selection. The problem with the large store is they are well known and sell out of the good stuff quickly. I was passed along the secret of Ye Old in West Haven that they tend to keep items I am looking for in stock. Ye Old does not get the same clientele that I have to compete with at the larger store. I can usually find exactly what I am looking for, and in decent quantity. When I go in, I usually ask for Brandon as well. He is very knowledgeable and tends to have the same taste as myself and can assist me with new and interesting items. Whenever I am in the area I try to stop in, even if I don't need anything, just to stock up on the basics. Don't let the size fool you, this shop is a goldmine for your needs.

Yeah, cool, dude. I can read the label too, but what's the difference in taste? "I haven't tried them, but this one is popular." Repeat same scenario for an earthy red recommendation. Super disappointing and I probably would have been better off going to a big store and spending less money. I prefer shopping smaller, local stores, but this is one shop I won't be returning to.

If' I'd been there for wine, I'd probably have a lot more to say, but I wanted a very popular size of a very popular liquor, and they had it. It was $45; I don't know what Connecticut liquor taxes or even prices in New Haven are like generally, so I can't judge the price. I was the only customer at the time. It was cramped. Decor was mostly bottles of wine. I used Yelp to find it and all of the reviews are super old and together they were a mixed bag, so I wanted to say I had a satisfactory experience.
