“One of the more impressive bourbon selections I’ve ever seen in one place. The owner was fantastic. Shared his experiences and took the time to talk through his inventory. Highly recommend.”
“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”

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!”
“This just became my new favorite sandwich spot…I would rate it 6 stars if I could! I got the Stadium sandwich on a sub roll and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients, and super friendly employees make this a lovely gem in the Navy Yard area. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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”

4339 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington“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!”
“This is hands down the best liquor store I've ever visited. The staff's knowledge and selection of unique spirits are exceptional, far beyond the average experience. The owner consistently offers top-notch recommendations tailored to your food pairing and budget. Highly recommended!”

1550 7th St NW, Washington“We cannot speak highly enough of the incredible team at Grand Cata. We are members of the wine club, and when planning our wedding knew we wanted to use our favorite neighborhood wine shop as our beer/wine/liquor caterer.
Their selection of beer, wine, and liquor was extensive (and delicious!!) and curated with care. Whether we were looking for a specific Gin or seeking recommendations for crowd-pleasing options, their expertise shone through. They took the time to understand our preferences and budget, ensuring that every bottle we selected was perfect for our celebration.
The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, from arranging a cocktail tasting to coordinating delivery and pickup. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and it truly felt like they were invested in making our wedding day unforgettable. (Special shoutout to Cliff, who was also responsive and thoughtful both in person and via email.)
On the big day, everything ran smoothly thanks to their meticulous planning and execution. Our guests raved about the quality of the beverages, and we were thrilled to see everyone enjoying themselves.
If you're planning any event, or just looking for a great bottle of wine from a small business, we wholeheartedly recommend Grand Cata. Their passion for their craft, coupled with their outstanding customer service, sets them apart. Thank you for being such an integral part of our special day!! (And we can't wait for our next wine club pickup.)”

2300 Washington Pl NE store 104, Washington“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.”
“This family run business by the Basdin family has been around for decades. The liquor store started as a French wine store but has expanded and specialized into California and other areas.
Great selection of wines. The staff have been there for decades, specialize in diverse areas, and are immensely helpful. My personal preference over the otherwise excellent Woodley Park Liquors. Online ordering and pickup are a breeze.”

3301 11th St NW, Washington“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!”
“Great service and selection. I needed a specific rum and found it here. The prices are also pretty good. I recommend this store if you value quality product and service!”
“Ace was amazing for our wedding! It was so easy and we ended up paying less than the deposit we put down, and they refunded that. We loved that they delivered and picked up the remaining alcohol we didn't use.”
“After recently visiting your establishment, I was thoroughly impressed and felt compelled to share my positive experience.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond to assist me.

Their expertise made my shopping experience both enjoyable and efficient.Moreover, I was impressed by the wide variety of products available at Store. Whether I was searching for a rare bottle of whiskey or a budget-friendly wine, your store had it all. The layout and organization of the store made it easy to navigate and find what I needed.Additionally, I appreciated the cleanliness and ambiance of the store.

This is not only one of the best grocery stores I’ve been to, but it is so well curated. There was a beautiful selection of tableware. Amazing staff with a great diverse knowledge of the products. The gentleman at the cash register was particularly helpful. I hope Rice Market continues its incredible business.”

“Visiting the District for the day: heard about this place and its amazing mezcal selection. Figured I’d bring a bottle or two home for the holidays. I was very impressed. Have not seen this kind of selection outside of Mexico. Miguel, one of the guys on the floor, spoke with me and gave me numerous recommendations. He was very helpful and friendly. Just wish I had more time to look around at the other spirits.Parking was a bit of a hassle. Opted for street parking but it was a busy Friday night. I’m assuming public garages are nearby.”
“Great wine shop with a fantastic point of view. The service was excellent and on point, without being overbearing. The passion for their set of wines was evident and they clearly enjoyed sharing information on their wines. Highly recommend!”
“This store has a stinky odor, the cashier's always stink and it's very offensive to customers. I'm not a drunkard, I sometimes come here to play the lottery and the employees always stink.”
“the staff is very kind and helpful! whenever i walk in i'm greeted with wonderful energy. they gave me free wine for my birthday, and their women's day promotion of one cent wine has become a tradition for my friends lol. a great choice!”
