Reviews of Cambridge Wine & Spirits (Winery)

Black Rabbit

I stopped drinking two years ago. I have nothing against alcohol. I quite like it in fact... I just don't drink it. And so I find myself shopping with someone for something I don't use. Perhaps like shopping at a gun store or Victoria's Secret? Today I track my friend down to the parking lot. She sits in her car discussing a social situation with a friend in Maine. We were to connect, but I think part of her mind pretends I don't exist. I climb into the car beside her and wait... I listen to her invite another friend to come and live with her for a few months... and that she would be welcome. I can't help think that this is one person in purgatory inviting someone in hell to stay over for a month. She then smiles, clicks mute and says, "it's you!" We head to Cambridge Wine and Spirits. I'm not sure what makes a person affiliate with a liquor store to the point of writing a review... Most have the usual subtypes of alcohol inclusive of beer, wine, liquor etc. The manager will sometimes order you something odd like an IPA from greenland or something... but my friend just wants the basics. Three bottles of wine and vodka. I enjoy her today. I always enjoy going out. She likes the place so I like the place. I actually more enjoy the whole foods next door because it's more interesting, but I like this place well enough.

Wide selection of wines & liquors. Some exceptional wines you can't find anywhere else. Julia Child use to shop at this store!

Linda Albert

Love this store and the friendly knowledgeable staff! Outstanding selection, and great prices. Really enjoy the chance to sip wines at their free wine tastings. That's where I found my latest wine, WENTE Vineyards. Deeeeelucious wines from California, at great prices!

James Morgan

Pretty much the most comprehensive liquor store around: from a good and fairly wide selection of saké to pretty full array of 99+ to Asian+Brit beer to vintage French selections. Oh and great prices.

Wide selection of wine, liquor and craft beers !!!

Timur Rustamov

I got lost in this place... Went in to grab a six pack and ended up hauling home a full box of spirits, topping it with a 12-pack variety by Harpoon. Great selection, good pricing, helpful staff.

Great selection of wine and liquor. Definitely a go to get speciality items.

John Davis

An absolutely top notch selection of Bear, Wine and Spirits. With very competitive pricing. They have a vast selection of craft, imported and general domestic beers as well as many top shelf liquors. Cambridge, Wine & Spirits have come to be my first stop when I am stocking up for a party.

Alex Nelson

Mariel Gilbert

Jen Harvell

Lots of alcohol here... like ne other liquor store. Staff was very helpful

Kevin Arritt

Good selection for the area. Plenty of harder-to-find wines, beers, liqueurs, liquors, etc. The store is clean and people are friendly. It is quite expensive though. Usually the big places are more affordable but this one is priced more like a downtown or boutique place.

Manager Tried To Break Into Bathroom WHILE MY WIFE WAS IN IT And Swore at Her My wife and I have been extremely good customers of Cambridge Wine and Spirits for many years now. We both own our own companies and stop by there weekly to stock up for our companies' Friday Happy Hours. I teach several high-end whiskey classes a year and my wife is a member of the board for one of our neighborhood's largest organizations. As a result, we have quite literally spent thousands of dollars there over the years. Cambridge has a good selection and until today has always provided very good customer service (much of the staff know us on sight) and we have recommended them to dozens of people. That all stops today. My wife asked an employee there if she could use the bathroom and he said yes. While she was on the toilet, the manager (an older man with glasses named "John") started banging on the door and yelling at her that she wasn't allowed to be in the bathroom. She told him (through the door) that she had asked for permission but he said that she didn't ask HIM for permission (how the hell is any customer supposed to know to ask HIM??) At this point he started to use his keys to break into the bathroom WHILE MY WIFE WAS STILL ON THE TOILET. She said she was undressed and would be out in a minute. He swore at her, using F-bombs in earshot of nearby customers (I was clear across the store and had no idea this was happening). She came out and he continued to yell at her, even following her for awhile. I met her at the registers where she was crying and upset. The other employees were very sympathetic and apologetic. John came up to the register and I started having it out with him. We told him again she had gotten permission and in the middle of this argument he walked off to go find the employee who had given permission. No apology, no explanation, no human courtesy whatsoever. I understand that John was upset that a customer was using the bathroom but he should have taken it up with his coworker, not acting like a maniac to my wife who did nothing wrong and did not deserve the humiliation and the verbal abuse she took from this creep. I started walking back there to find him and demand that he apologize to my wife but she just wanted to leave. You don't treat loyal customers like that. You don't treat women like that. You don't treat ANY human bring like that. Giving a 2 star rating (even though this was obviously a negative 100-star experience) to reflect that the rest of the staff have always been helpful and friendly and kind (especially Linda at the register and the security guy) on the 100+ visits we've had there. Obviously we'll never set foot in there again and we're going to tell everyone at both of our companies, all of my whiskey classes and everyone in our town to stay the hell away from Cambridge Wine and Spirits as long as "Lord John the Royal Highness of the Liquor Store Bathroom" sits on the "throne" there.

Small, well curated wine selection. Great to have in the neighborhood, but it doesn't replace the larger stores for greater quantity at a lower price point.

John Kraemer

Great selection and knowledgeable & helpful service.

Neil Judell

Excellent selection, great prices, helpful staff

Beijia Zhang

Lots of harder to find items and friendly staff. Prices are a bit high on the commonly found things though. Free tastings on Saturday afternoons.

Allison Osborn

Helpful staff, many options

Seth Schorr

Large selection.

Paul Stevens

They're my local and they're pretty great. Exactly what you think it is. A small, fully stocked liquor store with lotto and smokes.

Paul Scherlek

Occasionally, I find unique, hard to get items here but most of the selection is very over priced.

Janel Brice

You know!

Miles Smiles

I was throwing a large party. I know very little about wine and they were quite helpful in getting a variety of wines that people enjoyed while not breaking the bank.

Josh Smift

Large selection, helpful staff, prices seem on par with the other stores in the area.

Max Baird

The most knowledgeable and helpful staff of any store I’ve been in. An absolute pleasure.

Joseph Brassard

Great selection. They even had a few red vermouths I was looking for. After a trip to Spain I wanted to have a supply on hand and not every package store in the area has the good stuff. Great whiskey/gin selection and a walk in craft beer freezer. I'm not much of a wine guy but at least half the store was devoted to wine bottles, so if that's your thing, go nuts!

Thomas Huf

One of the best wine stores in and near Cambridge. Good selection,knowledgeable service, and competitive prices. Was not looking for unusual selections for Sat BBQ. Got chilled Lamarca for appetizer course.

john sortino

The best store of it kind in New England. Great service, best advice and selection. I am coming back again and again. I love this place. Even the cashiers are great, like John

Pedro Jimenez

Nice vodka variety

Akos Szilvasi

For me conveniently located, helpful and knowledgable staff, good recommendations.

Dan Ryan

Make your own 6 pack! Amazing selection. I'm a big craft beer fan and they do not disappoint. Pricey but that is typical of the area and the industry. Friendly staff.

Jakub Siwek

Fine selection of wines, craft beers and spirits. Whatever you looking for this store will have it. Friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you with anything.
