“Love this place, great selection of beer and especially wine, very friendly staff, also recently renovated, I will deff continue to shop here and recommend anyone looking for a great liquor store”
“I just moved to Sono and wandered into Black Bear. I've found my new go to liquor store. Ethan provides excellent recommendations and has a great selection.”
“I had the pleasure of checking out this great spot for whiskey enthusiasts in the tri-state area. It's a bit of a hidden gem with an excellent selection of store picks that any whiskey lover will appreciate. The staff also seems pretty into it.
When you walk in, you'll find a nice variety of store picks to choose from. The Angel's Envy store pick was a standout, really impressive. If you're into whiskey, it's definitely worth a visit.”

“One of the best beverage alcohol retailers in Connecticut, specializing in world-class whiskey picks. Harsha the owner is one of the kindest, hardest working, and most genuine individuals in Connecticut's alcohol industry. This place is a must-visit.”

“Amazing service! These guys are flipping fantastic! They helped me find the exact beer I was looking for. I can't say enough good things, they know their stuff and are cooler than the other side of the pillow! Seriously, so glad I came in here and got hooked up!”
“The Town Cellar has become our go-to wine store in the area and for good reason. Great selection, wonderful staff, and very reasonable prices for the quality of wine on the shelf. Highly recommend going in with an open mind and letting them find the bottle for you!”
“Love, love, love Cory and her staff at FWCo. Her knowledge of what to pair with each and every wine she has to offer is incredible, and she kindly writes it on the bottle so you can't forget! The monthly wine club is a fantastic journey into both wine and food as each of the four curated selections is accompanied not only by key information about the wine itself, but a perfect food recipe to pair it with. When we need a wine, we go to FWCo.”

“Selection is awesome, store atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredible. I had a staff member walk me around for nearly 15 minutes helping me pick out the perfect beverages for a work happy hour. Absolutely top notch service.”
“I have been going here for nearly twenty years. Everyone here is awesome. The employees are actually friendly and the prices and selection are EXCELLENT!!! If you are anywhere within a reasony distance don't waste your time with the other liquor stores even if you have to drive an extra 10 minutes it's worth your while I love this place.”
“This is a very good store that has a higher-end feel to it with a vineyard style interior. They have a great selection, very broad, of a variety of wines, liquors and beers. The beer has its own side store within the store. The sales personnel are very knowledgeable and very helpful and professional. They also have a selection of alcohol-free wine and other beverages. They have many accoutrements available to create your drinks. It is also connected to a wonderful wine and cheese store and in the back of the store they have a cute mini bar with string lights where they feature wine and cheese tasting at various times. Their prices are the same as another discount place that I have been to, in most respects. I highly recommend them.”
“Just stopped into BevMax over by Costco. They hire the nicest, most polite and helpful employees....to a person. Have never had anything but service with a smile when I go in there. Kudos!”
“Hands down best liquor store in town. Owner Shore and manager Wit always go above and beyond to satisfy all needs including special orders, delivery, curbside pickup, etc. they have an amazing selection of wine, liquor, and craft beers.”
“The absolute best staff. Knowledgeable. Very customer friendly. Great selection and prices. My absolute favorite place in all of CT. I shop her and take items with me to other States for parties, events and gifts. Go see Pete and his staff.”
“They are always so nice here. They helped me pick out a great bottle for my dads 70th and he loved it! This bottle was limited on the number of batches they made and it was soooo great.”
“They have great wines from the best areas where they make the highest rated wines prices better than most Comparable types of retail stores! I ended up buying great IPA Beers too! They have a large choice of great wine growing areas of the world! I will go back there as soon as I am in need of more of the same! Won't be long!! Service was perfect too I called earlier to asked for wines and other liquids I am familiar with and they answered yes and I did get to purchase some harder to find wines! It's a great vendor of spirits for sure!! Go see for yourself! I thought it would be much more expensive but not even close they were priced to sell their inventory and I took most of what I was looking for!! "Thank you all for being there!!Nicholas, Fairfield!!”
“Far superior to your average wine shop. As soon as you walk in the door David and/or Charles are quick to offer you a friendly greeting followed by a personalized, educated recommendation. They stand by their wines and service. Highly recommended!”
“My favorite wine shop in Fairfield county! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unique variety of wine and spirits. I look forward to hearing Abby's recommendations every time I come in.”
“Lorna has a fantastic selection of wines and spirits! She is very knowledgeable on her wine and can always order if available any wines or liquors you may want to try.”
“I Grocery Shop At The Shop Rite Location Here & I Love it To Get Away From Crowded Supermarkets As Its Smaller & Usually Is Never Crowded When I Go & Can Literally Walk Through Every Isle Without All The Cart-Traffic! Lol”
“Always helpful, well-stocked and competitively priced, they will order it if they don't carry it. Convenient, local and knowledgeable: what's not to love? And, they 'card hard', which i love!”
“I came here on my 21st birthday and the owner was super nice. They have an overall great selection of everything you could want, and if there isn't something there that you want the owner will try and get it for you. All the kids behind the counter were super nice.”
“Night and Day! They are under new ownership! Like other reviews, I have had a bad experience here in the past that made me drive past it to go to another store just because of the experience.Things have changed! The new owner is very caring and genuinely a nice man who cares about your experience and willing to fix the previous owners wrongs. Pricing is in line with competitors, but the thing that stands out is their refrigerated section seems bigger than others, especially the chilled wine section (a need during these summer months).”
“Big fan of Sipsters right here. I enjoy going back there because Alex remembers me and remembers my tastes. It’s the only wine store I go to where there’s an actual personal element to it. Alex has been great at recommending wines that he knows I’ll like, and also some unexpected gems. Its a really interesting selection and at good prices. My fave wine store in the area!”
“Hi, you guys have been calling my cell phone for the past couple of months thinking I'm a vendor (some guy I forget his name) and I'm not. Please dial your phone numbers correctly. I never answer my phone for people I don't know and didn't want to call back and the message option isn't available here. Thanks”
“Stew’s is my go-to place for all my beverages. Lemme tell you why: Yes, it’s big and has all the brands. Yes, the prices are really competitive. But the people who work there are SUPER knowledgeable. When it comes to wine in particular, it can be overwhelming walking into a giant super-store like Total Wine or BevMax. Vast collections of vino are organized by varietal or region and little more.
Stew’s connoisseurs, led by JoAnn LoGiurato and her team, are highly educated and beyond helpful. Better still, they’ve set up sections that offer wines by rating (90+ wines under $30, etc.) that is super helpful when you want to try something new. They also have a labeling system that denotes staff favorites, which is a nice touch and allows you to develop relationships with the team.
Simply put, there’s nowhere else I’d rather go to pick up my favorite bottles or for guidance in trying something new. Ask for JoAnn—she’s the best!”
“Great location. There isn't another liquor store within a mile of this place, so it's really convenient. Plenty of parking, friendly , knowledgeable staff. It's not a "super" store, which I like. Therefore they don't have a giant selection, but that's ok, because the beer is COLD!!”
“Wow! This place is cute and packed full of options.If you know what you want, feel free to do a quick in and out. The prices are competitive with those around them. However, the true gem that is store is comes when you aren't exactly sure what you want. The staff (particularly the owner) are very good with recommendations (especially the scotch and whiskey choices). Tell them a general taste and they can open your tastebuds to a new sensation.Have asked them for whiskey, wine, and scotch opinions and every single time the recipient has raved about the choice.They can also do special orders as of a few months ago and I believe that hasn't changed. Location is a little tricky to park and get out of, but keep your eyes open and it isn't too bad. The stoplight can be helpful for getting out and back in 25 in a timely manner.”
“Stopped in a couple of weeks ago for a Birthday celebration gift. The cashier was super friendly, helpful and personable -really genuine and down to Earth. The prices were actually decent in this smaller Town store. I was pleased. I complimented him at the end of the transaction for all the kindness and help in locating the unique selections I was looking for and asked his name, Turned out he was the owner! :) The store got busy at that point and he even managed to gift wrap up 2 bottles of the wine and put them in a pretty pink box for me to carry. Oh my goodness, I will definitely shop there from now on and highly recommend!”
