Fine Wine & Good Spirits

Great liquor store. It’s pretty large and has alot to offer. It has a separate wine cellar. They also sell those giant bottles for $ 700. They had a sample girl the day we went.
Cashier wasn’t the friendliest but she was very young and I’m sure she was over of the thanksgiving eve clientele.
We left with some captain to enjoy on thanksgiving and some Cabernet to enjoy that night.
My main reason for 5 stars is that this location is open til 10! (Except sundays). I’ve never seen a liquor store open after 9!

I do not recall which location I visited as I’m not from Pittsburgh. However, if the chain is as good as the location that I visited on my trip, then we all will benefit.
I stopped at a local liquor store with a group of friends and instantly was turned off by the sectioned off lines and long counter. You had to wait in line to be serviced and had to ask for what you wanted by name. We ran out of there. We came across a Fine Wine and Good Spirits and was instantly impressed. Relaxed vibe, non pretentious staff, no liquor or wine snobs about, tastings at the door and a vast selection calling you by the strategic marketing, fancy labels and colorful juice, reasonable pricing. I was in heaven. Their range included options for groups/​semi-​bulk purchasing, individual purchases and on the go pre gaming, personal selections (I bought a miniature Goliath red moscato box wine!)
I have to book mark this place as the only place to go when in need of libations while in Pittsburgh. Highly recommended!

Yep — another 5 star review.
This is probably the best wine store in Pittsburgh. The selection is incredible, the advice is seasoned, and they really have almost anything you could ask for. The problem is that it is a State store… options can be limited, although if you are willing to travel, your desires for incredible wind and spirits can be placated. Even if not, you can have these desires shipped to your nearest Wine and Spirits depot.
I absolutely love the store’s representatives’ service — they never steer me wrong Chariman’s selections? They are well thought-​out and always a good buy! The most delicious Pinot noir I have ever enjoyed came from them!
If you want a widely-​stocked bar, you will enjoy the selections they have made from a variety of wine and spirits, including sake, gin, vodka, Scotch whiskey, American Whiskey, Irish whiskey, and a bevy of mixers and aperitifs!
I know that legislation is under way to change the face of wine and spirit distribution — this store will most likely be a casualty if they change things — it is incredible. I cannot say the same for beer distribution, and most liquor stores!
Cheers, guys!

I drink, and thus BUY, a lot of wine. Just saying. Captive as we are by this ridiculous PA State Store system, it becomes a necessity to frequent these places (for me, its quite a regular occurrence). I’ve been to so many I can’t even begin to count. I’ve developed favorites judged soley on the criteria of the wine selection. I assume you hard liquor drinkers can get that more ubiquitously than us wine snobs where, to be sure, the wine selection varies considerably by store location. I always liked the Perry Highway location — probably one of the first to go to the super store concept. Then I converted to the East Liberty location — spectacular selection for a state owned enterprise. But I have to say, the Fox Chapel (Waterworks) location is the BEST of the stores.
Why is that you ask? I have my suspicions that it has to do with the demographics. I mean, it IS Fox Chapel, right? So they always have more premium wines, a more complete Chairman’s Selection inventory, a clean atmosphere, and believe it or not, a couple guys who are wine experts! I know! Amazing! The guy who runs the wine desk (YES! They have one!!) is super knowledgeable, incredibly helpful (he got me a case of wine I wanted by gathering leftovers from other stores!), and knows where every single bottle is! You’re in disbelief, I can tell. Can’t be, you say. Isn’t this a state owned and operated enterprise??? HA! But indeed, it’s true. Pinch yourself.
Within the limitations we all face by being in one of the only two states that has state owned liquor stores, this place can almost make you feel that civilization is more than just an illusion…

Such a great find! When we were out this way making a quick trip to Pier One and dinner at Tai Pei, we encountered the Wines and Spirits Superstore… and it is indeed just that!
I have not been in a liquor store of such massive size since I was at the Bottle King in New Jersey awhile back. Such an abundance of everything… more brands, more options, etc. The Italian wine selection was equal to the size of all of the reds in some of the smaller stores, no joke!
I think we will be venturing here again very soon! The staff was friendly too. A+

How did we never know this Wine & Spirits SUPERSTORE existed? The selection, alone, is worth the trip out. The spirits side of of the store is large, but the selection is comparable to some of the other larger shops, but the wine side of the store is really impressive! We typically opt for the wines & spirits shop in Penn Circle, and that location is still excellent, but for the sake of inventory, you can’t beat this location! It’s seriously hard to imagine finding a larger Italian wine selection outside of Italy.
Also, the employees here were all really helpful and nice to deal with.
I have a feeling we’ll be coming back quite a bit when it’s time to restock our wine, although, it’s hard to even know where to begin. I guess we’ll start by perusing the huge chairman’s selection…
