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!

As far as liquor stores go, i think it's safe to say as long as they have the essentials and it's…read moreclean you pretty much have your bases covered. 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've visited Capital Spirits a couple of times since they're pretty much the only liquor store Downtown (jazz fest, Pratt events, etc). Last night I was on Pratt to watch the Yard Goats game and we decided to go inside. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even when there was some indecisive minds in my group. 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.

I got the hummus app which doesn't so d like a big deal to make- but let me tell you- there is craft I. This hummus plate. The beet flavor is a delish variation. The nuts and cheese complement it well. It's also a feast for the eyes! See the pic! Service was friendly and attentive I will be sure to bring friends for a nice cocktail. The patio beckons!

Total gamechanger. Porter21 is the only alcohol delivery service in Hartford County (soon expanding…read moreinto New Haven!) and offers the perfect balance of convenience and a great selection. I had a few friends over after work on Friday and we decided to give Porter21 a try, ending up with two bottles of wine (JLohr chardonnay and cabernet, which I love) and Lawson's Sip Of Sunshine IPA, which hasn't been the easiest to find lately! So, instead of driving or calling around to different liquor stores, I literally clicked around on the site and had the beer delivered to my door in less than an hour. It's also cool to know that Porter21 works with and supports locally owned liquor stores instead of the bigger chains. Check it out!
