“Great store with a staff that really knows their stuff! Big selection of wines from around the world with something for everyone's taste and budget. Huge beer cooler with enough selection to please even the pickiest beer drinker!”
“Switched to this package store after Covid started and my usual guy was not enforcing mask wearing by the employees or customers… always courteous and helpful with good prices… This is my new spot!????”
“This is a great full service package store. It doesn't look like much from the front of the building, but when you walk in, the wine selection is extensive, the cold case has a massive selection of beer and the liquor is very well priced. They also have a tasting bar.”
“I've lived in Old Saybrook for 40 years. For many years, 2 of my sisters, who live on Long Island, wanted to send me wine as a Christmas present. The only shop in town who would deliver was Old Colony. He did it for free, and was persistent in getting it delivered. Today, there are 6 stores in town and some of them deliver (one has a $100 minimum for free delivery). I'm for the local guy. The store is on the small side, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a wide selection. The aisles are narrow, but he has a good selection of wine and beer, and he's very knowledgeable and great with selections. He's also a one-man show. As far as I can tell, he's the only employee. He's got to be the hardest working guy in town. His prices are good; his service is impeccable; his selection is top drawer. What's not to like?”
“I love this place. If I ever move out of the area I'll still stop in if I'm driving by.
Thank you for helping me get some nice champagne for the woman she loved it!”

“I love this place. These guys have an awesome assortment of liquor we have nothing in Bristol area like these guys do here. We got these thin tall cans of mixed drinks and they tasted great. I had vodka in mine other people had a tequila one and one had run tequila and vodka in it. Other than drinks this place has good prices and decent staff. The manager there was really nice she had a major upsale because she told me a out these drinks. She was helpful and kind. The place is in a good area and plenty of parking too. Don't charge for bags which really means a lot. That tells me that they care more about their customers than making an extra buck.”
“Easy parking and the place is packed with all variety of spirits. They have single beers available, domestic and craft. Staff really friendly and prices were good as well.”
“A gem tucked into East Haddam! I stopped in while driving through the area in hopes of finding a great little Mother’s Day gift. What I found was an amazing little wine and spirits shop owned by the most knowledgeable and hospitable couple. Brendan & Kelley bought this shop about a year ago they said and have totally transformed it from a local package store to a tourist attraction because of their selection and location. Right in the heart of downtown. If you’re looking for something special or looking to try something new, stop in and let them share their world with you!”

“Great service, selection and cleanliness. Small-town feel, but it's a big store. Parking is great. They just need a stoplight up that would make it way easier to get out of their parking lot.”
“Thank you to Seaside Wine & Spirits for helping to stock the open bar for our wedding! Art was such a pleasure to work with. He was so knowledgable and responsive making the whole process so easy. Can't recommend them enough!”
“I had a wonderful experience at this store. The new owner has done a terrific job with the new location. It is so clean and everyone is so friendly! They had a wonderful selection of wine, liquor, and a ton of craft beer! I will be back!”
“Generally a pretty big selection, probably the biggest in the area. Sometimes the beer selection of sours etc is better than others, but usually they have a good selection. They have been doing a fair amount of reorganizing and expanding of their layout, so I'd only expect them to improve the selection as they settle in on that too.”
“Wide selection of everything you could possibly want and friendly staff my one negative remark would be that they need to have a freezer for nippers not a mini fridge but other than that great spot”

“I’ll always has what I need or if I’m looking for something special is always willing to get it. Always pleasant to walk in the store and see his friendly staff.”
“Convenient location with a decent selection considering the side of the place. Prices may be 2 or 3 dollars a little higher than usual but hey that's the convenience fee as far as I'm concerned.”
“Have ordered cases of wine here a couple of times. On top of already really good prices you then get a case discount. Great selection of wine, beer & spirits.”
“This place is hands down the best place around for good selections and prices! The owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! Owning a business myself I know it’s not easy but Sandy is great with people and makes your trip in easy and fast!! Sandy goes out of her way to make every person who walks in the door feel welcomed and help with a selection! Whether you are just dropping in off the highway or a local in town she will make sure you are satisfied. Can’t say enough good things about this shop!”
“Quality people selling quality spirits in this family owned spirit shoppe — + while I, personally, am almost 7 years sober, I still buy special bottles for holiday gifts for my husband to enjoy. The range of superior, top(pest)-shelf spirits is extraordinary & parallels their staff's knowledge, creating a very happy shopping experience for one + all, so I highly recommend! •5?•”
