Thorpe’s Wines & Spirits

Patty and her team are the best! Always helpful with recommendations and carrying large orders out to my car. Their selection of wine and beer is second to none.

I love Thorpe’s and am sad that it is no longer on my regular route home (used to be walking distance from where I lived, we moved to a different town and it’s not really a convenient stop BUT I will continue to go there as much as possible).
Thorpe’s is as good as your local package store gets. Since new owners took over in 2010? it has really improved. The staff are friendly and helpful. If they don’t have what you are looking for and you let them know, it will be on their shelves the next week– I’ve experienced this personally and it is really refreshing to have business owners who listen to the customers!
They have a really good selection of craft and boutique beers and from what I can tell a decent selection of wine and liquors.
The prices are GREAT! And let me say you’d think they would be higher because of the area, but their prices are much better than many close by «discount» liquor stores.
During holiday times and busy days the staff are always efficient, I have never had to wait very long to make actual purchases. After a while too they start to familiarize themselves with you and they get to know you.
A final thing that my husband and I both appreciate is that they stay open until 10:00 on the dot!
All in all, it is totally worth it to shop here. Shop local and support this family run business!

This is a great place, ton of selection and everyone is genuinely helpful!

I had a pleasant experience here this weekend. Why, you might ask…
1. Through the course of a 20 minute visit, about five different people asked me if I needed help. Now I’d like to think it was because I’m cute, but after the third one it became apparent to me that hospitality and clients are a central focus of this family run business.
2. Joaquin Phoenix works here. Okay, so it’s not him, but it’s his identical twin brother that happens to be about 10 years younger. Hello hot stuff. And he’ll even ask what your celebrating that evening. Drowning my sorrows isn’t quite a celebration, but maybe it’s not such a bad thing to forget your rock when leaving the house once in awhile.
3. Ever since an opening I attended at Yellow Peril Gallery served me the most delicious bubbly by Saint Hilaire, I have been searching high and low in the state of RI. This is the only liquor store I have found that stocks such a precious bottle packed with power carbonation and balanced flavors.
4. Cleanliness is a priority. The owner and her staff were dusting the wine selection tirelessly.
5. They get things done! I wanted to know the price of a bottle that was missing a tag. Not only did the owner immediately look it up, but she also printed a ticket so the next shopper wouldn’t have to ask.
Wines are organized by region as opposed to varietal, which can be nice or confusing, depending on you. All in all, there’s much to go back for.
