Petite Cellars

One of the most extensive collections and offerings around neatly displayed. Educated helpful staff, tasting room for events plus tasting samples on weekends. In upscale turf valley area next to several great restaurants and Harris Teeter. And they offer my favorite, Wisher Beet Vodka.

HUGE selection.Great, reasonable prices.Knowledgeable staff who you can find chiming in on Reddit... I like that.Worth getting on their mailing lists. Their barrel picks are great, it's cheaper to get a barrel pick here than a regular bottle from the VA ABC... I have bought Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Makers, Elijah Craig barrel picks by the case. All positives, no negatives. HIGHLY recommended.

Excellent selections...Petite Cellars happens to be caddy corner to my favorite restaurant and I am glad I stumbled upon it. Getting on their mailing list and receiving their promotional offers are a welcome email for me.I registered with them as a regular they continue to reward me with discounts. Wide selection, well stocked shelves of all types of sprits. Fun store.

Very knowledgable staff with the wines. Their recommendation on lesser known wineries is great... for the palate and the wallet. Good beer selection as well. My go to in Ellicott City.

Very happy that this is close to our home. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and the shelves are well organized.Liquor and wine is always well stocked and there is a great selection.Prices seem comparable to other stores and my husband has enjoyed sampling new brands of rum.We are a part of the rewards program as well which is an added incentive to shop there versus other liquor stores in the area.They have tastings and such which we will take part in once I am no longer with child.

Janae (spelling?) provided me with a fresh new perspective on wine drinking. she is an actual licensed sommelier and has a very strong technical approach to wine. be sure to ask for her input if you visit! you won't regret it!

I am so happy to have such a nice store in the neighborhood. They are still gearing up, so some items are not yet in stock, but the selection of liquors and craft brews is still impressive nonetheless. They have quite a few selections of whiskey and scotch in the back right corner - I'm not a huge fan of either, but I noticed several highly regarded names based on conversations with friends who are. They have several bottles of gin I have never seen before that I am looking forward to trying in addition to old standards like Hendrick's and relative newcomers like Bulldog. They also have some trendier items like Firefly sweet tea vodka, and Mama Walker's blueberry pancake and bacon flavored vodka, proving that you can appeal to all palates without devoting an entire wall to Pinnacle. They have thoughtfully selected, quality reds and whites in a reasonable price range but the selection isn't huge - not that it has to be to get a quality bottle at a good price. I could be wrong, but it looks like they are going to stock a large selection of high end wine. I wandered into a sizeable cooler with mostly empty shelves and a few bottles of Phelps Insignia stocked.The very friendly and helpful staff mentioned they are still getting a lot of items in, so I imagine the room will fill up soon. That said, I already like what I see and plan to return regularly. I have yet to go in and not be greeted by at least two smiling faces who offer to help. This is a great addition to local area - be sure to check them out.

Young man answered the phone and insisted that their website was working properly--that I was not typing "moscato," "white wine," and "beer" into the website properly. Very politely called to report it. He was very arrogant. Called back and thought I had gotten someone in charge. The older woman handed it back to the young boy and he was like "we're not going to fix it in 10 minutes" and still had the same snotty attitude. My family spends a lot of money there when we go, but no more. Good luck calling the store and getting someone friendly and competent.

My wife and I decided to come here after seeing good Reddit reviews. After filling our cart with several items I noticed a checkout person staring at me intently on her tiptoes. She continued to do this as I shopped and apparently wanted me to know that I was being watched. As I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts (and no bag) I don't think should I have fit a normal shoplifting profile. My wife also had none of those elements and was walking with a cane due to recent surgery. Needless to say this made me very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I don't know if this is normal "service" or just the rude behavior of one errant employee, but we found nothing particularly compelling here (price or selection). We won't be back.

I've tried to give Petite Cellars my business over the last couple of years, having bought quite a few things from them, but recently their pricing has taken an unfortunate turn. For instance, saw they had Bowman Port Finish for $99. The "other" shop just down the road had it for $39.99. That's just insane. To PC's credit, I let them know of this pricing indifference and the next time I went in the Bowman was priced adequately. More recently however, during their Bulleit tasting event, they had Bulleit Barrel Strength for $65. That same shop down the road had it for $43. If that shop can turn a profit selling it at $43, then PC is just being egregious and taking advantage. I sent them a message regarding the Bulleit pricing and this time did not receive a response. They are probably tired of me. I've left with some good finds before and have received some damn good customer service, but ultimately the almighty dollar speaks way louder. I don't feel confident buying from them thinking I did so at a fair price. If they price their bottles with MSRP in mind, I may be back.
