Went in to purchase a Brunello. I asked about 2 labels, “every wine is good, the only thing is how big your wallet is.” Thanks for all the help…btw, the wine was ok at best.

Great service and prices were not marked up too much. We found what we were looking for and took the owners recommendation.

When I went to enter, the employee very rudely told me that I could not enter with my drink. He didn't even thank me when I paid and charged me $25 for a pack of Benson Mentor. I think that he
Price is too much. I do not recommend the place since they did not treat me well

Walked into the store at 1140. Store opens at 11. The guy inside started verbally abusing me, kicked me out, yelled at me "GIVE ME THE F****** DOOR B****** Dude is a piece of s*** and I will never come back to this liquor store again. Will go to the one on lionshead base from here on out. Absolutely ridiculous and this person should not be working in vail.

Best beer and wine selection in the valley. All off the guys there are drink recommending savants. They always seem to know the perfect direction to point me in. Friendliest dudes, great selection. What a spot!

Great place in town for both selection and knowledge. If you know what you’re looking for, it’s likely these guys will have it, and if you’re not sure, they’ll be able to make some great suggestions. I stop in once or twice a week and pick up something new almost every time.

Awesome people. Super nice. Super cool and easy laid back people. If you want spirits go here! Definitely not the Grappa liquor window or whatever. Horrible people and prices over there and great people and prices over here.

Great experience!! One of the only places that I've ever seen carry shooters of Peach Street Bourbon which is my favorite. Kevin is the owner and was working behind the counter - super friendly guy! Went out of his way to make sure I had the shooters and flask I needed to enjoy my drinks on the mountain while riding. Would recommend and would go there again.

If it were only a matter of product availability and selection, Vail Fine Wines would probably score higher than one star in overall rating, but inventory is only a part of it. Customer service is another part. Whether you weight this factor high or low, the interaction with staff if you happen to catch them in a bad mood is despicable and unacceptable. No establishment which, unwarranted, verbally lashes out at a customer should remain in business and unfortunately this is precisely what happened with a friend of mine and former customer of this establishment during a recent visit.

We are not locals per se, but we have been visiting Vail now for over 25 years. In the last couple of years we have sporadically purchased wines and spirits from Vail Fine Wines. This year will be the last time we ever set foot on their store.Yes, Vail Fine Wines does carry an impressive inventory of rare wines and whiskeys. As you would expect, that selection does come at a steep markup. Most bottles are marked up between 50-200% of normal retail price (if you can find them, of course). The markup is OK depending on buyer, item, and occasion. What is NOT acceptable is having owners/staff being rude and disrespectful to buyers.My brother and I noticed they had a bottle of George T. Stagg bourbon on their shelves. Given the bottle was on the top shelf, and that we are not particularly tall persons, we could only make out the price ($750) but not other details such as bottle proof, etc. My brother asked one of the store owners if we could see the bottle, at which point he rudely replied with "What is there to see? I do not want people handling bottles. Are you buying it?" Ok... off to a great start! We replied with a yes and, as if he were doing us an epic favor, he grudgingly handed us the bottle. When paying, we *politely* asked one of the owners if there was any wiggle room on the price at all. That's fair game with massive store markups. As a customer, the response was just disturbing (a simple "sorry, prices are final" would suffice). To paraphrase the owners responses: "the price is what it is, if you don't buy it someone else will" and "our monthly rent is $20,000 and our commercial taxes are horrible; buy it or leave it".What in the...? Is that how you treat a customer willing to buy a significantly overpriced item at a store? First, yes, we are well aware that "the price is what it is". You do not need to teach me about free markets. Second, I could care less what your expenses are. That is your problem and not mine, and certainly not a justification to rant to a customer as to why they are pillaging your wallets. And third, those bottles and prices have not moved since early December, so... maybe they will sell, maybe they won't, but the attitude of "we do not need your business, someone else will come if not" is just unpalatable and unwarranted.Vail Fine Wines is run by rude pompous clowns. As others have commented already, do not expect to be treated respectfully as a customer.My two cents: Go to Grappa instead. They also carry a very respectable selection of wines and spirits. It is also walking distance within Vail town, and within the context of this post, their staff has always been extremely helpful and polite.

Maybe I'm a little biased, but best beer selection.

Visiting Colorado for Christmas and was looking to try a local liquor, this Earl Grey beer caught my eye. I am not a beer connoisseur but definitely know how earl grey tea tastes, and this one didn't have a slight hint of it. Turned out that this can had a sticker on it, not sure why Crooked Stave would make such move. Disappointed period!
