Merit Fine Wines

This place is a godsend, a mirage in the desert on a Saturday night. Open a little later than most and staffed by the friendliest chill people on the planet, what more can anyone say? It’s a liquor store with a great selection, no hassle, and I love the place with all my heart. Extra points for being dog friendly.

My regular wine and beer stop for a quick six or four pack or couple of bottles. Walkable to all of downtown Montclair. Very friendly employees, great wine selection, and solid craft beer choice for their small size. With all the BYOBs in the area it is very convenient. They also deliver for free!
Only complaint is the prices are high, but, hey, it's downtown Montclair what can one expect. I will keep shopping here and recommend it to others strongly, too.

Always helpful staff and great selection of wines. Smaller selection of liquors so be flexible there.

Friendly, helpful staff, a nice variety of spirits, wine, and beer. A bit pricey but that is to be expected from a store in the heart of downtown Montclair. Very conveniently located and great store hours. Highly recommend.

Great place. I am in town for a few days. I was looking for something that they did not have but recommended something in the same price range but it was so much better. Went back and bought more!!! Nice people

Love this place! Before the pandemic it'd be open till midnight which is great for weekends or events you have going on and need to stock up on more drinks. They do not sell hard liquor past 10. They're very friendly & helpful and will even order in your favorite beer if they can which usually happens

Everyone there is awesome.

So helpful at Merit!! I called 2 other liquor stores (closer to the delivery location) first and each one had THE WORST customer service. All I needed was a bottle of Winter Jack delivered to my brother and the process was easy peasy and she even put a little bow on it for me!🤩

I called them on Dec 23rd from MN, they delivered a little Christmas Cheer to my bro-in-law that night! Super staff, amazing service, would highly recommend. Also, great selection of hard to find upper-end micro brew. -PB 12-23-11

Beautiful well lite store. Staff was kind and very helpful. Items available were perfect for our occasion. I would love to go back to this location again.

An absolutely vast selection of merchandise and hard to find Wines & Spirits. One can also purchase cigars, cheeses and other snacks to complement your beverage of choice. Staff are very friendly

Eddie is the Crēme de la Crop! He always recommends the best of liquor for all kinds of occasions. He is very personable. Eddie, you're a 5 Star!

Great selection of beer and wine. Very friendly staff. Nice vibe in store. Cozy and occasional wine tasting.
Don’t even worry, just go!

Great place for wines and their open late too

The Boss is very professional in wine knowledge. She always asks me the purpose of buying wine first, and then introduces which wine is more suitable for my occasion.

Wide selections of wines which is great. Fridge with beers of all kinds, including your standards and some craft. Keep in mind, No liquor after 10pm. Open until late which is convenient.

Super friendly staff will learn your preferences if you're a regular and make great recommendations. Wide selection for fair prices.

Excellent selection, service, and hours. This is a Montclair staple. I’m usually looking for a fine wine or Scotch whiskey and never leave disappointed.

I lovvvveee this wine and liquor store! Best part is they deliver! They do free tastings weekly and their staff is very helpful when it comes to helping you choose what to buy for the occasion.

Giving a heavily pregnant woman a giant compliment while she's buying wine is basically the pinacle of customer service. Also great selection.
