Ouray Liquors

"In the mountainous folds of creation, where wisps of mist made promises to the dawn, a most peculiar venture caught one’s eye. Within the hustle and bustle of downtown Ouray, a humble establishment promised more than just a mere libation. Here, the bottles sang stories of both distant lands and familiar hills. Now, for an emporium so petite in stature, one might reckon it held only a handful of tales. But lo and behold! Wines, as diverse as an alchemist’s inventory, beckoned from every corner. From the rich soil of local vineyards to the echoing chambers of Uncle Sam’s vast land, and even whispers from far-flung lands, each bottle had a tale to tell. And amongst them, a rather insistent bottle of Barera d’Asti demanded to share its narrative. But tales, like wines, should be affordable lest they be left untold. And this establishment understood the art of reasonable pricing as if it were inscribed in its very foundations. With a service as warm as a midsummer’s evening and an ambiance as inviting as an old friend’s hearth, this place becomes more than just a merchant of spirits. So, if your travels ever take you to the heart of the mountains and you wish to taste their essence distilled into liquid memory, seek out this haven. Because here, every drop carries with it the very spirit of the mountain."

"You couldn’t ask for a nicer attitude and helpful attendee’s as you’ll find here! Seriously these ladies are on spot with their selection and cheerful help. I highly recommend this place if anything to just stop by and visit, you’ll be grateful you stopped!"

"I expected high prices, but was pleasantly surprised. The selection is pretty great too. I hadn't seen Einstok since we were in Reykjavik, so that was cool. They also had 4 packs of Maudite and Fin du Monde, both good strong beers."

"Not friendly, not helpful, not much selection. But it’s the only liquor store available, so who needs friendly, helpful staff or a broad selection? Where else are you going to go?"

"I can't believe they recommended this wine. I kept smelling it before drinking it. My wife asked why. I replied, I should be holding my nose. Nice people, but don't recommend a wine just because it's from CO. Scared to try the other two CO bottles."
