Mt. Washington Wine & Spirits

Just reviewing the whiskey (atypical customer). Small but well-curated whiskey selection with friendly staff at a lively spot with wine tastings going on when I visited. There is a small shelf of whiskey here with a more interesting selection than at many larger stores. It was stuff I wanted to try: unusual whiskies from Japan (Kanosuke and Ichiro 111), interesting ASM (Redwood Empire Foggy Burl), scotch (Compass Box Crimson Casks), and rye (Epoch, Redwood Empire, and a Detroit 100% rye called Catchers that I'd never seen before). For such a tiny whisky shop - one hidden inside a wine shop - this is a hidden gem. Almost more like visiting somebody's liquor cabinet, you realize that it's not always necessary to have a warehouse to choose from if the buyer has a good eye. Prices are marked up a little bit but not overly so for such a small local shop. Update: I opened the Catchers Rye and it is a highly unusual but delicious and very compelling 100% rye with complex layers of molasses and quicksilver, thank you to Mt Washington Wine & Spirits for this discovery!

This is hands down my favorite wine shop. Looking for a great wine? Go here. Looking for a mediocre wine, go somewhere else; they don't have it here. Everyone here is fantastic. Looking to chill? Just sit and have a glass or two of wine or a beer and chat. If I could give them 6 stars, I would.

Weird small spirits selection with brands you’ve never heard of. No normal, like, vodka. I went in looking for applejack brandy for a dish they’d never heard of it. Oh and if you like cider forget it. They haven’t got it. (Now I sound like someone crazed for apples. I am not. I’m just saying it’s a weird place.) Maybe they’re not a liquor store or beer store just a wine store? Dunno. It’s weird and imo expensive.

I love this place!!! The guys and Mallory are amazing, knowledgeable and then some. I feel at home when I am here!!! Wine tastings every Friday from 4-7. You will always leave with a wonderful taste in your mouth AND a whole bunch of new knowledge. TASTE. GAIN. GROW.

Excellent experience. Check out their new bar at the rear of the shop! Neat Bar. Beer, wine and liquors. We brought our food with us and enjoyed their selection.
