Fitger's Wine Cellar — Local services in Duluth

Nice place with some decent selection. When I inquired about the Sazarac Rye on the top shelf, I was told that the owner sits that aside and it was not for sale. There were other bottles up there, but thatsthebone that interested me. I find it highly disappointing when we hunt for hard to find things and find that Liquor Store owners hoard stock. I flagged this liquor store in my Private Group that hunts for rarities as one to avoid due to these practices. The sad part is they had some really good stuff on the shelf. When we find such things, we usually end up buying 5-6 bottles of other bourbon. However, we ended up leaving empty handed. I ranked 3 stars due to their selection...

The store was packed pretty full, and most the labels that indicated the wine type/country were difficult to read. We were going to ask the employee working there for a recommendation but they were intent on their phone. We found something on our own that looked decent and it ended up tasting pretty great. Prices seemed mostly reasonable. Not sure I'd go...

Cool little shop, packed with things I don't get to see on the shelf where I am from. That said be sure to not read the labels on anything as you will be told swiftly not to touch that. Mr. Cashier please take that bottle from the shelf, go make a friend, and learn how to talk to people....
