Waterford Wine & Spirits Milwaukee

Great people. Great wine. Love shopping here and their mailing list is top notch.

Nice place with a variety of wines. The staff are knowledgeable during wine tastings or service hours.

Predominantly a wine store, but they do have a liquor selection tucked in the back. Bourbon and whiskey selection was reasonably priced for being such a nice establishment, but I do wish they had more variety. Managed to pick up a nice bottle of scotch for a very good price as it was half off on the bottom shelf.

Update: I visited again after a month or so and their liquor selection was bigger and better! Picked up a bottle I had been hunting for a good price.

Lovely wine store with a very thoughtful collection. All price ranges available. Helpful staff. I really love the wine tastings: excellent bargain and easy way to try some truly outstanding wines for a very reasonable price…and learn something along the way!
Absolute gem.

Superior, knowledgeable staff. I enjoy their emails which tell a lovely story about the featured wine. All price ranges available with some great bargains.

Fantastic spot. Wine selection is next level. Spirit selection is good for whiskey and getting better. Niche Spirit are plentiful. Fantastically knowledgeable individuals

The best wine shop in metro Milwaukee, hands down. The eloquent owner dishes out entertaining weekly specials by email laced with history (whether real or made up, I know not), and generally some stellar prices to boot. They host excellent wine and spirits tastings led by knowledgeable guides. The Brady street location has a vibe to match the neighborhood, and is quaint and antique looking, and with charm. I love this place, but I must warn you, it can lead to excessive wine collection.

Waterford seems to be often overlooked as a main tenant of Brady Street since 2005. This is a mistake as the shop is an incredible spot to stop in and learn about wines old and new. Frequently there are very good specials on the email list and the staff is generally knowledgeable and willing to help. Do not be intimidated! Good wine is very attainable for a reasonable cost.

Outstanding selection of both classic and esoteric, geeky wines. Always new and exciting stuff to explore. Everything is thoughtful. No random junk wines or gimmicky nonsense. Same with the spirits selections. The whole shop is like a well-curated playlist of great songs. Knowledgeable staff, fun, funky shop. Best in the state.

One might say I've literally fallen for Waterford Wine and it's true! They have the most delicious wine, great deals, and excellent employees who will pick out wines for you too! It's one of my favorite stores.

Ben’s store is simply fantastic-the old fashioned real thing. Ben offers a comforting experience finding your new favorite wine. He and his team know every bottles source and story. For wine-geeks, the curious and collectors alike.

I'm not very knowledgeable about wines so I wasn't sure what to expect when walking into the store. They made the experience incredibly easy. I was greeted by their friendly staff and shown around the store. They helped me pick out a great bottle of wine at a very reasonable price. I will be back!

Excellent wine and spirits selection. Store located on historic Brady Street, and has the feel of a business that has always been there. Helpful, knowledgeable staff, amazing selection of vintages and worldwide superstars of wine.

Excellent wine store. Been, the owner, is great for recommendations. Others who work there are good too. They have many tastings, free and for a low charge.

I've been attending tastings and buying wine from here for years, and they've never let me down. Great wines across all prices and great knowledge to share (without snobbery!).

Awesome wine store with good deals as well as wine tastings! Not too many options in Milwaukee for wine, but this is my favorite.

Great selection, good prices, friendly staff. Friday wine tastings are always fun as well.

Great experience, Scott was a wonderful guide to the world of French wine, if you are a wine drinker I highly recommend checking them out for a very educational, no pressure wine store experience

Absolutely delightful little shop. More of a boutique selection along with some mainstays, so maybe call ahead if you're looking for something specific, but you can certainly discover new gems here.

Nice selection from smaller vineyards, knowledgeable staff, & informative / affordable tastings offered frequently
