Metro Forest Hills

Rom and his Dad are the best. Metro W&L is my go-to spot as I’m very close and they have great selections of pretty much everything—that said, even if I were far and they had less, it’d still be worth the drive. Rom knows his stuff—knowledgeable about literally any of the dozens of bottles and types I ask him on. Never upsells or pressured; just gives info I’d otherwise spend hours googling- and I can trust he’ll tell you the less pricey of two is better if that’s the truth without hesitation. This is where I got “seasoned” as I was educated each visit re: smoky scotches, really good Mezcals, differences between aged whiskeys, tons of red wine recommendations based on my taste and preference (sometimes I just give one adjective e.g. dry) I get my jalapeño tequila here, great price and as I’m probably the only one regularly coming for it- his really sweet adorable funny tall dad puts it down from the top shelf to the bottom shelf for my shorty self to reach! So they really give a damn, in other words, and this is a quality business. Not to mention, Rom will order anything they may not have in if you request it (I also understand they deliver)…!

Excellent local place. Family owned and run with great customer service!
