Best wine/liquor store

The perfect wine to go with a Chilean dish, the most affordable chardonnay for a wedding, a keg filled with drinkable beer - your request can be filled at Blanchard's. Its five locations are staffed by people who know their alcohol and know that no two customers are exactly alike. For collectors, they offer a selection of rare wines; for partiers, they claim to offer Boston's largest selection of imported and domestic beers. They import liquors from throughout Europe, Asia, South America, and the Middle East, and carry domestic brands both famous and obscure. For tasteful celebration or complete inebriation, Blanchard's is one-stop shopping.
