I really wanted to like this place. It's close and has a great selection of wine, however, if you're not one of their long-time customers, expect no service (at best) or to be talked down to if you ask a question. This is based on multiple visits.

Awesome store! A very broad selection of old world wine…. And just about everything else they sell… even Amari. I highly recommend

This is an outstanding store, especially for bourbons. Very helpful staff and good variety.
Addy Bassin’s MacArthur Beverages is Washington DC's leading retailer and importer of fine wines and spirits. Over the years we have garnered the reputation as one of America’s best wine merchants by importing wines directly from Europe and reselling them to private clients throughout the United States and the world.
MacArthur Beverages was founded in 1957 by Addy & Ruth Bassin and is located at 4877 MacArthur Blvd., in Washington DC. We have been at our current address since 1962. Addy Bassin made ‘front page’ news in 1977 when he set the world record for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of wine, an 1806 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, for $14,450.00.
