M & R Liquors

"These guys are the best. Great service and so easy to work with on our party."

"Liars, strait to my face too. Friday night, busy store, I asked if I could pay and break $100 bill. Manager on duty says they can’t break it no change...I said ok no worries. Paid my balance with cash small bills, when they opened the cash drawer to make small change... ...oh boy $20s a plenty, must have been over $300 in twenty dollar bills in the drawer...along with a few $100 is tens and fives as well. Can’ t help me out and break a $100...I can’t spend anymore of my money here. Lost me..."

"I had the very good luck of being helped by an M&R salesman named Dave. Dave was personable, professional and most efficient as I explained to him that I needed to purchase a few bottles to take with me to a dinner and I was running very late. I told Dave that I needed a good bottle of sipping tequila. Dave brought me over their tequila section and pointed out three very good but different bottles explaining the nuances of each. Bingo. I got my bottle of tequila. Not knowing much about red wine, I told Dave that I needed two bottles of a good red wine and to make it easier on both of us, I told him to limit the selections to wines from California and I also mentioned that I wanted to vastly different bottles and was willing to spend about $50 for each. Dave quickly led me over the California cabs where he showed me his four favorite bottles and clearly explained the differences of climate, vintage date, growing and bottling practices. I selected what turned out to be a superb cab. And for the second bottle of red, Dave brought me over to the Zinfandel section and explained that while many people aren't familiar with "Zins," they offer a great flavor profile and good value too. He showed me three or four bottles and explained their unique qualities. I chose one which also proved to be excellent. Dave quickly rang me up, carefully wrapped my three bottles for the road and I darted out to my dinner party. The sipping tequila received raves during the cocktail hour. And while other guests brought other bottles of wine, my two bottles were called out as the "best wines of the dinner." Thanks Dave I couldn't have done it without you. I'll definitely be back to M&R soon and I hope that you'll be working when I do return so that you can help me find some more great wines and liquors to share with my friends."

"There is a huge selection here of wine, beer, and spirits. They even have a decent selection of mixers and bitters. The staff here is very knowledgeable - especially the wine guy who is there on the weekends. They have great weekly specials, too!"

"Always an excellent selection of wine, and for me a great selection of bourbon and whiskey. The staff is excellent at making recommendations depending on your taste. Prices are reasonable. The only drawback is the location is tough to get to on farmington Ave because of traffic."
