I believe my discovery of Driftwood Brewery is due in part to the well laid out and stocked coolers at Vintage Spirits. Their amber ale is fantastic!

I didn't expect to see Rogue, Lost Coast Brewery and other micros brews in a bottle shop adjacent to…More »

Oh, memories. I admit, I still make a special trip to this neighbourhood when I'm in the mood for a liquor store without someone asking me for change. Although, all of the cars in this very small parking lot getting their Tim Hortons can get a bit of…More »

Why bother even browsing when you can walk up to the associate, tell them your budget and have an expert guide you through the countless bottles looking for something that you deem "interesting."
