“These are the best sandwiches we’ve had during our stay in the DMV area! Service was great and the chips and drink selections go great with the sandwiches. Highly recommend!!”
“We stopped in here because we were passing by and I was out of whiskey at home. For a small place, they have a great selection and the staff was really friendly and eager to help. Chuka was a delight to chat with and told us they do some tastings on Thursdays from 5 to 8 so we will definitely be back to check that out!”
“Just an hour ago, I had the pleasure of presenting wines at Verified Wines and Fine Spirits and was genuinely impressed by the experience. The community here, led by Max and his dedicated team, is incredibly welcoming — it's like being part of a family. Sharing the exquisite Salton Wines from Brazil with such enthusiastic customers on a lively Tuesday evening was a delight. The shop's pet-friendly environment adds to the charm, making it feel like a slice of wine country right here in DC. A big thank you for the wonderful experience – I'm already excited for the opportunity to come back and share more wonderful wines. And to whoever is reading this review and feeling my excitement, here are the pictures I took to document the whole experience. I will cherish this day forever!”
“We ordered alcohol for our wedding through Ace, and they were incredibly easy to work with. They were responsive and helpful as we decided on our order, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. On top of all that, their pricing was very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend Ace for weddings or any large events!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Amos who is currently employed at Calvert Woodley Fine Wines & Spirits. Amos provides excellent customer service with his polite and patient demeanor. He excels at matching a client’s budget with a choice of wine and champagne appropriate to the occasion. My daughter, Airlie, and her husband, Nicholas, from Chamonix, France, as well as her mother-in-law, were extremely impressed with his knowledge of champagne from the region, while still offering competitive price ranges. Hands down, Amos is my go-to person for a variety of social occasions!”
“One of the best place to get wide range of brands in Tequila , whisky and vodka etc.Just talk to the staff about the price if u are unhappy about the price they are always ready to fix it . Staff is very friendly and if you are confused to select right one or to gift someone, staff provides best suggestions if you ask. You get pretty much everything here at affordable price”
“A. Litteri is a classic -- small but mighty! They have a great assortment of fresh pastas, a tasty selection of Italian cheeses, and lots of fun condiments and such. (They also have what's supposed to be a terrific wine selection, but we haven't sampled that.) We even found fresh apple pie there for Pi Day. Nice, helpful people, too!”
“Had a great time at this liquor store! The owner is super friendly and absolutely hilarious. He let me try some fantastic bourbons and had some spot-on recommendations. You can tell he really knows his stuff and loves sharing it. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area”

“This is hands down much more than a wine store. The owner is amazing and every time I stop by not only do they remember me but they treat me like family and remember what I like to buy. Service is top notch.”
“A bit overpriced, but worth it for the great selection and awesome service. If they don’t have what you want they definitely will get whatever you need quickly for when you are in next.”
“They kicked my friend and I out for taking to long but he was tryna buy groceries and I was not about to spend all of my money in an expensive market. Other than the "Hold Up" the store was pretty nice. A variety selection of snacks and they take EBT”

“Purchased a custom gift basket to be delivered to friends and I could not be happier with every aspect from my initial inquiry to delivery. Jess handled my order and she had great communication and worked with me to edit and customize what was in my gift basket. Delivery was timely and I like that they coordinate with the recipient instead of just leaving your delivery outside if someone doesn’t answer. They work with a wide range of budgets and take everything into account when giving you a price (all items, card, and delivery included in the quoted price). Loved the speciality items they offer and my friends are so excited to dig in!”

“As someone who has been curating a bourbon collection for years, I can confidently say that Potomac Wines and Spirits is one of the best retailers in the region for hard-to-find and limited-release bourbons. Their selection demonstrates a deep understanding of what bourbon aficionados are searching for.
The staff is equally impressive, they’re not only knowledgeable but also well-connected in the world of fine spirits, making them an invaluable resource for those hunting for the next addition to their collection. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your journey into premium bourbons, Potomac Wines and Spirits should be at the top of your list.”
