bookluvingbabe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Which liquor stores in DC have the best selections of gin? I'm hosting a friend this weekend and she wants to buy me gin so we can have cocktails at home. The more interesting selection the better. Thanks!

DanielK Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My rule of thumb for any booze is always to call Joe Riley at Ace Beverage first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My rule of thumb for any booze is always to call Joe Riley at Ace Beverage first. And Joe has a nice selection of gin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrXmus Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 DC, hell, go to VA to hit an ABC store. There, within those hallowed walls, you can get Gilbey's AND...wait for it...Beefeater's!!! I know, right!? Amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right!? Amazing!!! VA ABC doesn't always have a huge selection but it's not always bad - the usuals, plus some extra. At least, in this area. I wouldn't go out of my WAY to go to an ABC store but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go out of my WAY to go to an ABC store but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I'm just trying to be funny (poorly, admittedly). I actually buy my Hendrick's and Plymouth at ABC stores. I just bought Bluecoat, an American Dry Gin made in Philly, at a Fairfax ABC store. Pretty bottle but it's not a gin I need to keep on hand. When I feel like rum-running, I'll head into DC to Ace and bring liquor back across state lines. Hopefully, the feds can't trace my avatar here.

My go-to guy is Ben at the Magruder's Wine and Spirit shop at Chevy Chase Circle. He is really easy to work with. If they don't have something in stock, he can probably order what you want from the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
