Excellent selection of beer and wine. Very good wine prices with frequent bargains, and their recommendations on shelf are very good. They also have local cheeses, meats, gourmet snacks, and a beer tasting "tap room." They also sell fresh baguettes that are fantastic. Staff at the counters is very friendly and helpful. I usually have an easy time with the rest of the store help, but the cheese staff comes off as a bit "too cool" to offer help, although they are very knowledgeable and worth the patience of enduring their boorishness. Beer and wine floor staff are usually very helpful and are quite well informed on their product. Sometimes they over do it with specifics particularly on the beer side, but chalk it up to exuberance of youthful knowledge.

My hands-down favorite store in Baltimore and surrounding area. They have a giant selection of wine and their prices meet or beat ANY store in the area (yes, esp that giant store whose prices are *hardly* winery direct). Ive been to all of them in my search of wine nirvana. This place moves a ton of wine and beer so prices are very, very competitive. They also have many wines that are exclusive and hard to find, at all price points. The store is always clean, the staff are perhaps as knowledgeable as any small or boutique wine store, and theyre always rotating in new wine selections (rosé is in now). Add the extras like their craft beer growler bar; their cheese/charcuterie/bread selections and you have the areas best liquor store, hands down!

So who doesnt love a liquor store thats open 7 days a week (most of Maryland liquor stores are only open 6 days a week and never on sundays). They have an impressive selection of wine and an equally impressive beer and liquor selection. Their staff is knowledgeable (especially with the wines). And the wines are easily depicted, each section is by country and the split by kind or region and they often have notes on featured wines and brightly tagged best bang for your buck buys. They range in price but I consider it worth it. The also have a pretty sweet (small and limited) meat and cheese section. But hey if you are looking for a perfect snack to pair with your bev. Its a great spot. They also sell the absolute best hummus ever. Seriously.

Tied with the best wine/liquor store in Baltimore (Charles Village Discount Liquors holding strong). The best aspect is that they are open until Sunday 6pm! Parking may be a little tough, but you cant blame a place for being popular. Quick lines, excellent service and HUGE wine selection at the absolute best prices in the city. I almost passed out when they had handles of Stoli on sale for $30. That being said, this is my upper-crust selection of a wine/beer store in the city. Very clean, safe and friendly. My only complaint is that they dont sell 40s of malt liquor. Dont judge me, I just like to get drunk for cheap.

This place is ridiculous. Ridiculously well-run, well stocked, friendly, and community oriented. They may be called Wine Source, but their selection of beers and spirits are also top notch. Its the perfect place to stock up for a party or to freshen up your bar. The wine selection is out of the world. Dont come looking for a two-buck Chuck here, but if youre on a budget and youre looking to impress your girlfriends parents, ask the staff for help! Theyre well versed in their whole selection, and they understand that there is a real world beyond wine.

My favorite wine/liquor store in Baltimore... not only do they have a fantastic selection of wines, liquor, and craft beers, but also have a small grocery area with charcuterie, artisinal cheeses, and other snacks. More recently a bar was added, where you can have a pint or fill a frowler from a rotating selection of cask-conditioned ales. Definitely a hipster wine store in a hipster neighborhood, but the prices dont reflect that... in fact, theyre more reasonable than many more run of the mill liquor stores.

Baltimores destination booze spot with easy on the budget staples and hard to find gems, all at the best prices. Good sale items, discounts on 6 and 12 bottle mixed cases of wine, deep selection of spirits. Dont miss the cheese, charcuterie and other gourmet goodies up front. They have someone around to offer tastes and advice, too. If youre there close to close, you might even score a free baguette to go with your wine and cheese.

Awesome beer selection!! Best selection right in the heart of hampden a block from me. Doesnt get better. They also have a small tasting bar with rotating taps and always a good unique selection. They do crowlers and also gift wrap for you! Their selection of snooty meats and cheeses is awesome. I will only go here for charcuterie. Prices are still reasonable and everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a Wine Boutique that was open on Sundays. This place has it all! Knowledgeable staff, party supplies, cigars, and hard liquor. The cheese staff made excellent suggestions to complement our wine selections, and the entire staff was courteous and informative. Well make the 20 min drive from Pikesville to shop here every time over the standard liquor stores in our area. 5/5

Very large selection of craft beers. Very knowledgeable staff that are ready to help you. Many craft beers on tap that can be sampled, and purchased either by the pint or by the growler. Open on Sundays too. I only wish they had a larger parking lot; weekend crowds make parking difficult. But even with large crowds, the checkout lines move fast. Staff will help carry your purchases to your vehicle.

The ONLY place to get your goods in the Hampden area, and maybe all of Baltimore. Incredible selection on all beer, wine and liquor. Great charcuterie counter too. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Parking can be a pain. You can either wait a few minutes for one of their five spots to open up, but your probably better parking on the avenue and just geting some steps in.

Awesome wine store....it was definitely worth the ride from my Southern Baltimore County home to get wine and beer that wasnt run of the mill. They also offer cheeses, ham, pate and salami along with the go withs of crackers, bread and dried fruit. Friendly staff that are very willing to help you any way they can...very classy!! We will be going back for more! :)

I travel over 150 miles to visit and purchase my wines, cheeses and select cuts of meat. What a most pleasurable experience especially with the friendly customer oriented assistance of those very knowledgeable employees. Another trip is in the making. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who truly enjoys their wine -- beginner or connoisseur!

Selection did I say everything you can think of?? The wine source trust me its the best spot for any kind of alcoholic drink. Youll thank me for ages!!!

Excellent selection of wines, beers and hard liquor. The price is really good compares to local liquor store. You can save at least $1-2 for wines and $2-4 for hard liquor. They also have a good selection of cheese. And, most importantly, THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAY!! No more running out of fire water during Sunday.
