Best Place to Buy Wine
Liquid Assets
If the oversize wooden wine barrels on the retail floor don’t give it away, one look at Liquid Assets’ shelves should convince shoppers of the seriousness of the place.
Along with a global selection of wine, the store (which is attached to a restaurant of the same name) also offers spirits and craft beers, including some from Salisbury’s Evolution Craft Brewing Co. Liquid Assets regularly hosts tastings, but it’s the cozy lounge areas with the overstuffed couches and a handsome bar that draw customers for sipping and nibbling.
