Great place to buy spirits in Portland?

[anewton]

I am going to be in Portland on Thursday/Friday and am wondering if the regulars on this board can recommend a great shop for gins, rums, tequilas, and whiskeys? I am aware of some of the local distilleries but am curious to know if there is a really good store specializing in imported spirits at a fair price? I am looking for places that have a big selection of spirits, not a Costco or Whole Foods type place.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to eating at Pok Pok for lunch when we get to town.

Oregon has a liquor control commission that regulates all of the prices. Everything is the same price everywhere. Booze is available in liquor stores only. Pearl Specialty does indeed have a nice selection

Is that price regulation true for wine or just spirits?

I was also looking for the best place to buy wine near downtown on our last day. (Flying Southwest, so free checked luggage!)

Price regs on spirits only.

For wine, downtown I recommend Vinopolis: http://www.vinopoliswineshop.com/

Makes sense. Thank AHPDX.

If you are looking for a good selection of Oregon wine, I recommend Oregon Wines on Broadway (also downtown and not far from Vinopolis).

I remember tasting at Broadway wines some years ago but hadn't thought of them for purchase. Thanks.

I rarely buy liquor but I pass this place all the time:

Probably would fit the bill for an interesting selection. The price point (considering the neighborhood) might be a different matter.
