Dulaney Wines and Spirits

This place is totally awesome. This location has always sold alcohol, but there was an ownership change and the place was dormant for a few months in between transition. It’s back and it is definitely better than ever.
In a recent visit I walked in to get a jug of Fireball. Why? Because my liver was annoying me. Upon entering I was greeted with a sample of whiskey. I tried it and loved it. I bought a few bottles. But I was still searching for a few specific products. «Debbie» is their in-​store wine connoisseur and she was able to walk me through a few options. She is a great resource and she knows her grapes!
I went back a week later to grab some more whiskey and one of the gentlemen working there showed me a few new and exclusive products. They had just received a shipment of Jack Daniels Winter Cider whiskey. It was an exclusive flavor produced in limited quantities. It was excellent! I went back a week later and it was G-​O-​N-​E. Should’ve bought two bottles :-(
A third time I went, they had someone handing out the new Stella Artois Cidré. I cannot tell you enough how much I love samples. They seem to always have something going on in there.
I traveled to Boston a few weeks ago and went to by some Vodka. Any flavored bottle of Smirnoff was priced roughly $ 18-​$ 25 dollars. I went to a few places to see if I was just walking into pricier traps. Nope. Alcohol has very different taxes and pricing state-​by-​state. I guess I was naïve. At Dulaney Wines & Spirits that same variety of brand and bottle sells between $ 13-​$ 17. It’s not «Apples to Oranges», but I feel confident proclaiming their prices to be reasonable and fair (even for Towson).
Overall, the product variety is great as they feature the classics and the new stuff. The service is amazing with an expert to answer all of your questions. The atmosphere is fun because they aggressively host vender samplings or market with samples independently. The place is great, and BY GOSH I give them the COVETED 5-​Star rating!
P. S. — Parking is quick and easy, and they have a limited supply of cigars.

Stopping in at Dulaney Valley on a random weekday afternoon, I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness of the staff to offer help or a recommendation. Subsequent visits showcased that this was not a one-​time gig. Prices are reasonable, the selection is great, there are frequent sales, and Wednesdays offer an additional 10% off of all the liquid goodies sold here. As another bonus, wine tastings occur on Wednesdays with discounts on featured bottles. What’s not to like?!

Dulaney Valley Liquors totally saved me last month while I was in Towson on family bizness. For an east coast liquor store, they sure have a lot of my favorite California wines, and the prices were just a few dollars more than what I’d pay in CA, which is quite a rarity. Usually you see some slop like Turning Leaf with a price tag of $ 15.
They also had a ton of Italian wines, including a white wine that we drank all day long when we were in Costa Rica a few years ago and haven’t seen any where since — Luna di Luna Pinot Grigio.
Service is sweet, friendly and prompt. The place is run by a couple of old guys who have been there forever. Stop in and say hi if you’re in the area.
