Sheffield Wine & Liquors Shoppe

I bought a Groupon for this shop advertising a mixed case of red and white wine. When I picked it up, it was 6 of one kind of red, 2 of another, and 4 of one kind of white. I totally felt misled and would not have bought the Groupon if I’d know this was the selection. I feel like a Groupon for a case of wine should be to show off their selection and convince me to make their store my go-​to for a wide variety of wine. It seems that this business was using the Groupon to get rid of an overstock of three varietals they had too much of.
Also, when picking it up, I decided to get a six pack of beer. The shelf sticker directly above Bell’s Two-​Hearted Ale read «Bells $ 10.99». At the counter, the clerk rang up the beer for $ 12.99. When I mentioned that the shelf tag said $ 10.99, he said «Oh, that’s for the regular Bell’s. This is the Bell’s Two-​Hearted.» There were three other Bell’s products on the shelf as well: Oberon, Lager & Red Ale, none of which I would call «regular Bell’s» — in fact, each Bell’s product is a specialty brew and none are marketed as just «Bell’s». The shelf tag was clearly there just to get people to take it to the counter in the hope that they wouldn’t argue (or wouldn’t notice) when it rang up at a higher price.
I won’t be back.

I had the same disappointing experience as Amanda below. I too had a Groupon for this place and received 12 bottles with only two varieties included. I would not come back here. I felt that the Groupon was misleading and I am frustrated to have spent so much money for so little variety. A true loss.

I had a Groupon for a mixed case of wine, and I got a total of two varieties in the case — eight bottles of the same red, and four of the same white. The only way in which this case was mixed was that it had two different colors of wine. Lucky I like both wines, I guess, but I won’t be returning to this store.

Just moved right around the corner from this place so I am looking to establish myself as a regular somewhere in the area. Strolled in and was greeted when I entered the door. When it comes to drinking for the most part I am simple and know what I am going to get in the liquor store. I found my Canadian Club and I found my natural ice (in a samurai 6 pack no less, my favorite), google that if you don’t know what a samurai 6 pack is.
This liquor store has what I need and the prices are fair. I can see where it might fall short on the selection for some people if you are really looking for something thats a specialty item I guess. One star off because i try to follow the actual rating quotes, It’s not as good as it get but «Yay! I’m a fan.» and I will be back.

Small place, but really great beer selection. They also have all the top shelf liquors. It’s definitely a buck or two more than Trader Joe’s, but great for convenience. The owners are really friendly and really leave you alone to browse.

This is a great little store with two friendly guys behind the counter. Their beer selection rotates slowly but they have all the standards and a few really nice brews. When I’m headed home in the Tenleytown Corridor of Connecticut Ave, I usually stop here if I’m interested in a chilled six pack.
Their liquor selection is limited, but they have a few good bourbons, scotches, rum, and the standard vodka varieties. Their wine selection takes up several island shelves and about 20 feet of wall space. Their prices are average, sometimes a little high or low. There’s never a line.
You can park around back, at the same parking lot for Politics & Prose Bookstore.
If you’re looking for a very specific or expensive bottle of something, you may want to call ahead or go to a store with a bigger selection.

There are times when I want a huge, high end selection of wine, beer, and liquor, and there are establishments nearby that meet my needs. But much more often it’s a weeknight and I’m craving a chilled six pack of IPA on my way home from work. Their selection is the perfect size. It’s not so large that indecisive people (me) will stare for 15 minutes trying to wrap their heads around a wall of beer, but it’s large enough that there are many great options. There are a few beers that they always have in stock, and there are several that they rotate, giving me a chance to try something new. The prices seem a little high, but no higher than other stores in the area.
What really keeps me coming back (and feeling guilty when I buy booze at Whole Foods instead) is the service. The people who work there are so nice and helpful. They really go the extra mile – I’ve even seen them let customers in shortly after closing on multiple occasions.

On a recent fine September day, I was driving down Connecticut with a gorgeous blond girl in the back seat of my car, heading vaguely towards Chevy Chase circle and its emporium of liquor stores. The light at Nebraska stopped me, I gazed right and saw this place. As if by magic a parking spot opened up in front and I turned around, looked at Soccerballgirl and said — «let’s go get some beer for Daddy»
Poor selection of beer — and overpriced compared to half a mile up the street. Troeg’s for $ 10 or $ 11 a six pack was the best I could do. Didn’t seem to be much else on offer except lottery tickets.
If you are stuck in a pinch it will do — but if you have wheels head up the street and take your pick from MacGruder’s Circle liquors or Chevy Chase liquors, all of which leave this place in the dust.
