  • Warehouse mentality, irresistible sale prices, and halfway-decent beer selection (best in town, but still quite lacking), characterize Lee's. It's certainly not the place to go to learn about wine, and the staff really don't know very much about wine, but it's not a bad place to shop if you don't care that much or if you really know what you're doing. Despite all the little things that annoy me at this place, I'm usually there once a week anyway. Some time mid-January, I bought the last bottle of Domaine Des Roches Macon-Ige. I hadn't had it in several years, and was quite pleasantly surprised for $8 a bottle. I went back the following week to pick up some more, and they had just gotten a ridiculously huge order delivered. I'm talking pallettes sextouple stacked in the back, almost to the 30-foot-high roof joists. Way too much for one order. Anyway, their inventory showed several cases of the wine, but it was obviously buried somewhere in this huge order. Here it is, a week into April, and they still haven't dug it out yet. The beer department really vexes me too. The Belgian beer selection is pretty mediocre compared to what I'm used to in Detroit. On top of that, in many cases, they sell one type from a brand and not the others. They have Delerium Nocturnum, but not Delerium Tremens, and they didn't stock the Delerium Noel (or Duinen, for that matter, made in the same brewery). They have Corsendonk Brown, probably the single Belgian beer besides Chimay or Duvel you would expect to find in any old liquor store, but they lack the Pale, and didn't stock the Christmas. I don't get it; Corsey even puts out magnums and bigger of their Christmas beer, which stores like this could sell at HUGE margins above the regular stuff, and people always buy it, too! Their loss. The other annoying thing about the beer section is that they let things run out completely before restocking anything. A couple months ago, I bought them out of Hop Ottin' IPA, and the Belgian and British shelves were so sparsely stocked, it looked like they were planning on getting rid of the beer section totally. I probably wouldn't buy my liquor elsewhere (unless I were special ordering, in which case I'd get it from Khoury's), and there are some ridiculous sales here too. Not the best environment, but not bad overall.
