Spencer & Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants - Downtown Mystic 17 West Main Street, Groton, CT 06355

"Best wine shop in Connecticut. The absolute least pretentious and most knowledgeable staff on the planet. You will come for a quick bottle and leave with knowledge and a smile."

"The wine selection is great. Liquor is marked up very high, so I only get specific hard to find things there. They have just been really missing the mark lately, but would still give 5 stars if everyone that worked there was as amazing as Jules. Unfortunately, there is a pretentious douchebag and the pretentious owner, David, that sometimes works at this location that I avoid like the plague. That’s one of many reasons I try to only go to the Groton location, but they refuse to put a full selection there which means I always end up having to special order everything. Also want to give an extra Star for Emily who is totally awesome, super helpful, and makes up for a lot of the douchery."

"We stopped in for a bottle of wine to take back to the room (Steamboat Inn is steps away!!!) and were delighted to find such a logical selection, wide in both well known (and some obscure) brands… just not deep (maybe five bottles per) which makes sense. Blown away by the number of exotic bitters in stock. What a friendly bunch!"

"Spencer and Lynn have a massive selection of whatever your heart desires. Nice seeing bottles on the shelf that are unique. Thank you Jules!"

"Fantastic wine selection! I browsed the shop with a professional sommelier and was very pleased with their selections. The staff is very friendly and helpful!"
