“Downtown Wine & Spirits in Davis Square, Somerville, has fairly recently expanded the “spirits” part of its name with hard-to-find bourbons, liqueurs, rums, etc. It also has the best combination website/blog of any liquor store in greater Boston. And they have regular tastings.”

Not For Tourists Guide - 8/13/08
“Perhaps my despondence over…chaos is what fuels my new love for Downtown Wine & Spirits. Their aisles are navigable, they carry over 900 dust-free beers, including gluten-free, as well as 600 wines (with and without sulfites), and more liquors than you can shake a stick at. “
