A LOT of variety with plenty of wines to choose from. From everyday favorites to high end dream-wines, you're sure to find something you'll enjoy. And the staff are very helpful with assisting in making a selection. Best wine store I've been in since... a long time. Don't let their size fool you! ?

Will never shop anywhere else for liquor or wine. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A terrific store.
"Whiskey Ed" Houdek first opened the doors to Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe in 1965. Back then he'd deliver mail for the Bayport Post Office during the day and at night he'd work selling fine liquors and wine. In 1972, Ed doubled the size of the store making it so long and narrow that you could fit four lanes of bowling within the store's walls. But instead of balls and pins, we have the area's largest selection of fine wines and liquors. Today, Ed's son, Mike, runs the store. He is certified as a wine sommelier and has an outstanding palate. If you need to know the best wine for your meal, just ask him. If you need to know about single malts, top shelf vodkas, or the best Cognacs, he's your man.
