Susan's Fine Wine and Spirits

I describe a wine by taste and they find it for me. Can't beat that. I enjoy going to Susan's if I have a special dinner party or just wantto spoil myself, the selection is fantastic. Keep up the good and work and will see you soon.....

Despondent service. Going for a tasting/glass or bottle at the bar is probably the way to go.The knowledgeable and fun service once offered is long gone. The selection is interesting but can be easily found elsewhere.

What a bizarre experience. I am in my late 50s (this becomes relevant later) and needed to buy some champagne on December 30, This was never going to be an ideal time to be shopping for champagne, but I wouldn't have expected it to go quite this badly! My dad's partner is a regular here and waited in the car while I went inside. They didn't have any of the options I was looking for, and although I expect to pay a little more at a small wine shop compared to the grocery store I was appalled to find common brands like Veuve Cliquot were marked up 50%. It took great effort and time to get service and when I did the gentleman serving me was extremely condescending, which I found amusing, because it was fairly clear that I know as much or more about champagne as he does. He mansplained to me that TRUE CHAMPAGNE IS ONLY FROM THE CHAMPAGNE REGION OF FRANCE. After I had asked for Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve, which, my dear reader is the cheapest true champagne. He'd never heard of it. Roederer Estate is Cristal's California version. Yes, not a true champagne but I had already failed on my first several requests. Not the fault of the shop itself, but the wine tasting going on (which was why nobody could help as the staff were happily drinking with the customers) appeared to draw a lively crowd of extremely eager 60 something men. Was that flattering or annoying? All I know is that a quick run into the liquor store, which should have taken no more than five minutes ended up being nearly 30. Before I settled on a bottle of Perrier-Jouet Blanc de blancs. Delicious and not overpriced at all and Roderer Estate Brut (200% what I normally pay). Both were last bottles, I found both myself in random locations. I definitely won't be back. 3 stars because the wine selection looks great and if you are a dude the wine tastings look like a helluva party. Minus 2 for crappy service from the 'wine guy" and wildly unorganised champagne section.

Wonderful staff helped me choose a lovely tawny port for my sister. Amazing environment, adorable indoor tasting café and outdoor wine garden. A true gem and neighborhood favorite!

Great place. They have moved from St. Francis to Aqua Fria. They have a large selection of wine and liquor. A small room off to the side for tasting or just opening a bottle of wine ($5 surcharge=a bargain) to drink. I did a sake tasting here that was fantastic. Jim was our sommelier and he did a fantastic job!

What a classy place of some of the most genuine and generous people you are going to ever find behind the bar. Solid knowledge base, reasonable prices and some electric local items. Brian is an absolute class act.

Good selection of wine, liquor, beer and ciders. Friendly staff with pretty good prices on most things.

A fantastic local spot! We have a family home in Santa Fe and try to visit a few times, yearly and actually just found this business. They have been around for 14 years and celebrate local wine, beer and spirits as well as house a sensational collection of beverages from across the globe. We went in New Year's Eve for champagne. They were sold out of what we were going to buy initially. The sales person suggested a nice alternative. We are excited to try the bottle. When we walked in at least three staff asked how they could help and they mentioned their tasting corner. We will definitely be back in to sample some wine! Highly recommend!

Had a drink at the bar. The selzer water was flat and I asked for another one to be made. The assistant manager, Jim Stephens, told me that if "I didn't like my drink , then I had bad taste." When I asked him why he said that to me, he said I had, " crazed eyes." WTF???!!!! You never know what you're gonna get when he's there. Be warned.

Best neighborhood liquor store/pub I've ever experienced. Friendly knowledgeable staff? Check. Great selection of wine and spirits? Check. Sample something interesting you found during your visit? Check. Dog friendly? Check. Bonus points from me for being walking distance from my new home. New regular here. No clowns encountered during my visit
