Poll: What is the Best Package Store in West Roxbury?
A package store, a packy, liquor store, wines and spirits - what's the best place to buy alcohol in the neighborhood?
This week's West Roxbury Patch's Readers' Choice Poll is - what is the best package store in West Roxbury?
Some people call them liquor stores, some people call them package stores, and some folks call them packies.
There are several respected options spread out through the neighborhood. The first three mentioned in this article offer more variety and options than the other two.
Blanchard's Wine & Spirits has its own events room, offers seminars, wine classes, and the famous 100+ free wine nights.
Gary's Liquors on the VFW Parkway is run by the affable Gary Park, and also offers a fine selection of wine, beer, apertifs and the more.
Macy's Wine and Spirits has been well-situated on Centre Street for years and has a loyal customer base.
Dedham Line Liquors services its West Roxbury-Dedham border neighborhood well. While across the street is the Greek International Food Market, which sells Greek and other international wine and beer options, to compliment the market's food, and has also started to hold wine tastings.
So let us know your preferred package store through voting, and in the comments section.
We'll leave the poll up all week then close voting at 9 a.m. on Friday. At noon that day, we'll share your top local pick.
In the meantime, you can always go to our Patch Places page and search for local businesses by category, or write reviews and recommendations.

Greek Food Market doesn't belong in this list because its main business is a food market, not selling alcohol

I agree with Steve. gary's is the best, hands down. They have an outstanding selection as well as great prices and top notch service. Gary's is one of the places I miss now that we have moved to NJ.
