excellent selections. just a suggestion: don't correct customers' pronunciation unless they ask for help or unless you honestly don't know what they're asking for.

All the employees are super knowledgeable and can help you choose the best type of wine or beer or liquor that one might need.

Let me add my kudos to those of many on this site. I needed to find somewhere to buy wines after having someone who is no longer in the area help me for a long time. My former helper suggested Jacob and the crew at The Wise Old Dog, and this was supported by online reviews and friends. WOW, were they all right. This place is a gem and as other have said, everyone there is dedicated to helping (including the pups!). This place is the Zabars of wine here... incredibly well set up and comfortable and a place that, like the staff, is there to help you. Jacob is so knowledgeable but not at all pretentious (I know NOTHING about wine) but felt helped, not lectured to. The rest of the staff were also friendly and helpful

My favorite local wine/liquor store. GREAT selections in every price point. Jacob, Thomas, and his staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, going to shop their is like visiting friends. They make great recommendations tailored to you. I've found bottles there I couldn't find any else.

One of the best package stores around! For a smaller store they have a huge selection. The employees are personable, friendly, and helpful. A great place to go pick up the essentials or to find something new!

There is no place like it in my experience. Every employee is kind, fun, and knows a lot. If they don’t know about what you’re asking for they’ll find someone in the shop who does. The prices aren’t the rock bottom prices you might find elsewhere, but let’s be honest you’re paying for the amazing staff who helped you find what you were looking for! Wise Old Dog’s team is living proof that amazing, personal, non-pretentious customer service is still alive and well.

I went in for a quick stop to grab some wine for dinner and was helped quickly and ended up with 2 great choices! From the brief time I was there it looks like they have a great selection. The woman helping was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and gave me recommendations of places to visit while I was in town. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great neighborhood establishment. They will order something for you if they don't have it. They have wine tastings I believe or did they just give free samples? Maybe both.

Wonderful place for wine and beer. Everyone is knowledgeable about their beverages and I’ve never had a bad recommendation. Bonus: They helped import my husband’s favorite beer from Israel

Lost my business. I doubt I'll step foot in your establishment again. I don't like being ignored when I'm ready to check out and your cashier blatantly did that. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Great spot! They have a wide selection of organic wines from unique vineyards and a large selection of craft beers. Thomas helped my wife and I pick out some new wines to try, which were spot on with our palate. Highly recommend The Wise Old Dog!

Gem of liquor store in West Hartford; solid pricing (not big box store level, but very competitive). I'm not a wine expert, but they appear to be very knowledgeable, and the staff is always very pleasant and helpful. If you're into Bourbon or Scotch, this is the place to visit - their single barrel picks are always above great!
