I judge wine & spirit stores by two things: (1) Does the owner have an extensive working knowledge of wine, spirits, and everything related, (2) Do they carry a broad, high-quality selection of products? Shaker Wines & Spirits wins on both accounts, particularly #1. Anything you need, anything you want to know about wine, beer or any other beverage, Gene has you covered. He's a true expert.
You can safely ignore the 1-star rating left by a disgruntled "Cleveland" Whiskey seeker. I agree with the owner, this Cleveland Whiskey things is an annoying "me-too" trend. I hope it passes soon.
