Where can I find a good selection of specialty alcohol, particularly some of the fantastic stuff created by Oregon distillers? Sun Jun 08 18:57:19 -0700 2008 199074 grumpitybug 1 3761967 There's a handful that the local "cocktailians" like to inhabit because of all the cool stuff they stock, but my nearby one is Pearl Specialty on the corner of NW 10th and Johnson.

Not sure about the local selection, but the tequila choice might be the best in town.
