Best Wine Club Cambridge Near Me

Khera Douglass: You should know about wines if you go to this store. I'm not a big wine person but I was buying some for dinner with friends. I asked about Bourbon Barrel, aged Zinfandel, and the short woman with glasses, and two buns said we don't carry that. I had to interrupt her conversation with the other clerk to ask the question. I then had to ask where the Zinfandels were. She pointed them out and went back to her conversation... I would have loved for someone to ask me what I was looking for and help me find it. But, maybe the clerks are just there to take money and aren't knowledgeable about wine.

Sarah Hale: Meh selection and wouldn't let my friend buy anything because I didn't have my ID on me, even though I wasn't buying anything and we are both clearly over 21

sita costello: Inhospitable. Why not ask if I needed help or recommendations if I took so long or seemed a nuisance? That’s the best way to get someone on their way.(*And to make a sale; I was looking for a vegan white wine from a unique place)Thanks to you I felt alienated and didn’t splurge on something fun or higher end.

Armando J Hermosilla: Bad attention

Brian Watson: Decent selection given store size, beer select could be better. Expensive prices, higher than normal. Typically unfriendly staff (ex/ guy today literally said no words to me despite my best efforts).

nisha rangnani: Good liquor collection but excessively pricey.

Christopher Hawkins: A very adequate local wine and liquor shop. They have all the basics and the staff are plentiful and helpful. A fifth star because they have Georgian wine here! Expensive but a decent little selection. Such a surprise!

William Tremml: One of the most diverse liquor selections in the area. Not a great place for cheap beer, but perfect to stock your cocktail bar.

Xenesithic: The variety of stuff was good. Customer service not the best, the young woman with the curly hair was extremely rude and should not be in retail.

anakinchan1121: Extremely rude storekeeper

Rushabh Patel: I just went one time here and heres the deal guys.I bought CORONA BEER 18 pk all the time @ 23.99 includes everything from other place, I was next to these guys for food and I was like let’s go here and buy from here only.I asked for 18 pk they don’t have it, it’s fineNext thing I asked price for 12pk which they have it and it is $21.99 plus deposits around $23Now you can see the difference in price and the reason I went out quickly without wasting time inside18 pk corona other location- $24This location 12 pk - $23$1 extra for 6 cans of beersOhh my goodness I am out of this location 🦖

Thomas Vaccaro: Has more or less the bare essentials, with a few important products missing. One of the more expensive liquor stores in the neighborhood. The owner is unhelpful, too; and in some cases they have been rude to people I know in town. Plenty of options elsewhere.

Julio de Barros: Not immigrant friendly.I am a 27 years old immigrant to this country. The only documents I have here are the government issued New York Id and my visa. On a rainy day, I went there to buy some wine but they refused to sell because I wasn't carrying my passport -- of course, I always carry the most important document I have when I go buy wine, especially in the occasion of a storm.When a friend (28yo) tried to purchase they also refused because the person saw him talking to me.Impressive the amount of red tape we face and the treatment we get.

Elizabeth Tuten: Super friendly. Great tequila selection

Gustavo Perez: Very large selections of spirits and wines

Bill Christian: Great wine selection

Nancy Graziano: Great selection, kind and helpful staff. I highly recommend!

Christina “Tina”: Went in hoping that they mightttt have a "specialty" Dewar's and while they didn't, they were intrigued and placed an order with their supplier.

G Benett (mothratwins): Pricey, but great selection of whiskeys, gin and vodka, craft beers, international wines. Knowledgeable staff and frequent tastings - at least pre- and presumably post pandemic!

Polite D. Stewart, Jr.: This spirits store has a great selection, even for foreign drinks. I have an interest in sakes, and I was able to find a delicious strawberry nigori there that I've never seen before.

EunAh Choi: Zuzu's Petals is my go-to spot for proper catch up with friends. Great selection of wine and small bites from cheese board to dessert selection. You can tell that the owners love wine and are very invested in curating a good wine list for the customers. Highly recommend!

Suzanne (Suzanne Mercury): This place is outstanding! A selection of wines that will haunt your dreams paired with fine desserts and a wonderful cozy ambiance. Great music and friendly staff. It is the perfect romantic spot!

Addison Ball: I cannot speak highly enough of Zuzu’s Petals. Quaint, intimate, curated with a touch of French artwork, Zuzu’s Petals is the best wine bar in Boston. Regularly serving various snacks and small bites, Zuzu’s Petals connects the international to the local with their world class wine list and farm-to-table cheeses. I have gone solo, with friends, with partners, and with family - it has something for everyone. I almost hesitate to write this review, as I selfishly want it to remain relatively incognito, but it's worth it to ensure this gem doesn't shut its doors. Zuzu, je t'aime!

Jacob Aronoff: Zuzu’s is one of the best places that opened up in the past few years – fantastic desserts, great wine pairings, and wonderful ambiance. They have a small but mighty record collection with some of my favorites, and a great sound system to play it. My partner and I have enjoyed many nights just sitting, listening, and snacking for a few hours.

Noah Flowers: Zuzu's is a wonderful spot to catch up with friends or have a romantic night out. The thoughtful wine selection, warm atmosphere, lack of cell phones, and delicious bites do a great job setting the stage; add some good company, and it'll certainly be a night out to remember. Truly the perfect combination of a cozy neighborhood place and a special, intimate experience.

Delaney Byrne: Zuzu's Petals is the best! Alex and Bobby have put so much care into creating a warm and welcoming space; replete with spectacular desserts, savory snacks, and well-paired wines. Even the mixture of antique silverware, linens, and china used for serving is delightful. It's a perfect spot for a date, an evening with friends, or reading alone. Ever since my first visit at the soft opening, Zuzu's Petals has quickly become a favorite place to spend an evening. Highly recommend!

Ruth Ruediger: The sparkling wine was excellent. Being a dessert lover, I especially loved their chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. And of course the local cheese and crackers were a delight. A little noisy on the weekend.

Alex Iansiti: We live around the corner, and a dessert from zuzus is our favorite way to wind down a day. Not to mention the pairings are always delicious and thoughtful. The creme brulee is the best in Boston and the raspberry sacher torte is the best I've had in america!

Emma Humphrey: This is our favorite special treat spot! We started coming because they source so many of my favorite Vermont meats and cheeses that are hard, if not impossible, to find elsewhere in MA. Fell in love with the desserts, and now we most often come for takeout chocolate mousse to eat in bed, or with friends for a last drink and something sweet to share at the end of a night. The chocolate mousse is, very seriously, one of the best bites in all of Boston/Cambridge, and across the board everything is cozy and delicious, obviously curated with lots of love and care.

Tina Glyptis: Delicious noshing; sweet and savory with amazing curated wines. Delightfully analogue; record player with a nice LP collection and Polaroids. A little bit of Paris in Inman Square. Ooh la la!

Shannon West: My favorite neighborhood wine bar. The space is cozy and well curated. Excellent and diverse wine selection. Delicious desserts--mousse is crazy good. Love the no cell phone policy and Pet Sounds on vinyl. Alex and Bobby are the best.

Laura Stark: Very cozy atmousphere with lots of nice touches in decor. Very expensive, though, e.g. the four red wines on the menu ranged $14 to $34 per glass. It was an enjoyable experience, but we won't be back, sadly.

Ashley Brown: Delicious, perfect wine, but perhaps a bit overpriced.

Rachel Gelinas: Loved this place. Amazing wine selection and the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever had. Will definitely return

Katie Honneywell: Fun environment, the chocolate mousse was absolutely incredible! The cheese board was not that tasty and expensive. The prices were also way too high to go back.

Grace Walters: Some of the best fondue I've ever had!!

Mahsa Kashani: A perfect little hidden gem. Came here without a reservation, but they were super accommodating.

Edward Fleming: Good wine good food friendly people

Sara Ansari: It really is a wonderful life at Zuzu’s Petals. This wine bar is amazing, the coziest atmosphere and the friendliest staff that are so accommodating they treat you like family. Not noisy like Barcelona Wine Bar and feels like home with the candles and flowers at each table. Whether you’re here to celebrate a friend’s bday or a romantic date, this is the spot!

Edit Vukatana: Intimate, boho chic interior, and an interesting wine selection. We loved our wine, but the cheese board wasn’t what we were expecting and the overall experience was overpriced.

Johnny Monsarrat: Convenient, nice people

Jandro: They allow you to buy singles of craft beers. A great way to try out a variety to find what you like.

Erich W: Good selection of beer and wine but abysmal, near criminal markup on liquor, especially whiskey. Plus, bottles are stored on their side, so you’ll likely pay, if you’re willing to, 500-1000% markup and then get home with a cork-rotted bottle. I boycott this place out of principle.

Laura Caro Ruiz: Great wine, beer, and cider selection! Found several international items I haven’t seen elsewhere and staff were very helpful

Natasha Cham: Friendly staff and great selection of biodynamic, natural and organic wines!

N: Helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Good selection of products I can't find elsewhere.

Mark Duddy: This spot is where I am from; I went to grade school on Rindge Avenue. The selection of Fine Spirits, Wine, and Beer is impeccable and the Prices cannot be beaten. My favorite L, or LQ, or Package Store! Ask for my Friend Rodrigo he knows all and you be very pleased. They now deliver as well, the minimum is $50. Most places require a $100 minimum; keep the old BRIDGE ALIVE👍

Katie Carlson: Excellent wine and liquor selection, and a good beer selection, plus they let you mix and match singles. Fair prices and a friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Suong Bui: Big sake and soju selections. They do have great asian liquor range of products. Will come back for more, nice staffs

Ephraim Eugene: Good selection of beers and wine

yuki Sakamoto: a great variety of liquors

Augustus Craig: Price gouging on whiskey, give your business to someone else.

Holly TT: They have local and organic wines, lots of choice!

Andi Land: Good selection and ok prices. Good location next to Whole foods.

Thomas P: Not a big selection of tall boys.

Susan B: Their staffs are super friendly and have great knowledge about Fine Wines. I got helped and picked out a wonderful bottle of Wine. We had a great dinner together with our family friends last weekend. Thank you for your services we will come back for more recommendations!!!

obinna Ogazie: 👍

Fernando Corado: good price

Jackson Ph: Best wine and champagne selections available in the area. Staffs are always helpful and give great advises on the best wine. My mom loves the recommendation wine I took from one of the staff. Will come back more and more!

Cameron McIntosh: I been using this place since I was old enough.

Dana Fashina: Diverse selection of spirits

Chris Brown: Great Business. Great location!

Valerie Alleyne (May): My friend and I walked in. We are in our sixties. Every aisle we went to, he had his eye on us. I don't need that, plus the store doesn't carry much. Smh

Stephen Capuccio: Staff wasn't very helpful standard liquor store...

Gr Nigel: Classy

Paul G: Seems a good bit overpriced but the selection was decent and they're open pretty late.I'm not sure if I was intentionally overcharged or if they just have high prices in general; I won't be going back to find out.

Henry Dera: Decent selection and one of the few places open later in this area.

Athos Vieira: Excellent

Lillian Hernandez: They are very rude people.

Robert Gerber: This store owner price gouges. Example, the bourbons… weller 12 and even lot b don’t go for 400 and 1000 on secondary easily. I’d say 200 and 700, but even so, taking advantage of those who don’t know msrp, secondary market… I’ll never shop here.

lino guglielmo: Small location but had the item that I was looking for. Very nice owners and well stocked will purchase from again 👍

Sylvia Davis: Overpriced and the girl at the register is RUDE. No customer service skills whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

Michelle R: They don't know their wines.

Lamont Jiles: Cheap liquor great lottery tickets winner winner chicken 🐔 🍽 🤑🤑

Michelle Grant: Friendly excellent service

Siddharth Raju: Since I moved to the neighborhood last year, Norton's has been my go-to spot for all my alcohol needs. They've got a respectable craft beer selection, especially for a store of their size; I've been able to find pretty niche stuff from the west coast that I don't see in most other places. The owners are super friendly and seem to get along with regular customers. And they do tastings with local wine sellers on Saturdays (maybe Fridays too) which is great for expanding your horizons and supporting locals! Some of the beers are a little pricier than I would expect ( $13 for a 4-pack from Night Shift) but generally you can get 6-packs of classics like Fat Tire and 90-minute for under $12. Overall, prices are very reasonable, especially given that they have a super convenient location right on Mass Ave and their own private parking lot in a fairly dense business area.I think the previous ownership was perhaps not the greatest (it was before I moved so I can't personally comment) which is why you may see some less than positive reviews on reviews prior to 2019. The new owners, however, are fantastic and I wish them continued success in the coming years.

Morgan Clubb: Good selection for everything! And also, they do tastings every Friday and Saturday evenings. 100% would recommend!

Matt V: North Cambridge is still a little rough around the edges. You would expect though a little more effort here though. It's like time traveling going into the store, and I'm absolutely telling you not in a good way.

Nina Merriam: The selection is ok but there are no prices listed anywhere. You don't realize you're being ripped off until you get up to the counter. Avoid.

Alicia P: Good prices friendly service

Dan Blinn: Good, honest people. I left a credit card here and did not realize it until 5 hours later. I returned, and they had kept it for me.
