Sobeys Western Cellars

As far as liquor stores within walking distance of my place go, this one wins in both the distance, selection and selection departments, a clear-​cut champ all around. Their wine selection is extensive and divided into several large regions (U.S., Canada, Chile, France, etc.), their beer is also excellent (they have a wide selection of Alley Kat, my friend Andy’s favorite), and the spirits are high (in number). Their pricing is also competitive and they often have a varied sale section: you can find bottles of Barefoot for 10 dollars, and a shared favorite (Apothic Red) is now on for $ 4 off, not too shabby.
Their customer service is manic-​depressive: I’ve been here with a could-​care-​less guy manning the tills, and I’ve also had a friendly girl who explained their troubles with stocking Cupcake’s Red Velvet wine. I suppose it depends on the night you stop in. But if you are here to browse the shelves and try something new, or get a specific wine or beer that not every liquor store carries, this is a nice place to do so in the south.
