Readers' Choice: Favorite Liquor Store

When summer kicks off next weekend, a few things change: the weather gets warmer, the days get longer and the tonic water flies off the grocery store shelves as G&T season begins.

Most of us have a favorite spot for stocking up on beer, wine and spirits for those summer barbecues and outdoor parties. Where do you go for the best advice, the best prices and the friendliest service?

In Southington, there is a seemingly endless number of choices for stores to go to, so although some surrounding towns may be asking for you to vote on a poll right away, we need you help.

It's time to let your voice be heard - give us your nominations today!
