I've been in to Amendment a few times now. Once, not so great of a visit and then deciding to give it another try, I was a little more impressed.
The first time I wandered in here was after an eyebrow wax next door at Brows and I remembered I needed to pick up a housewarming gift for a friend I'd be seeing in the evening. Now, I know I get a little red after an eyebrow wax and I tend to look a little like a clown, but the guy who I asked about GF beer (the housewarming gift was for a celiac) looked at me/treated me like I was a bit of a fool. Sure, GF beer is kinda a bummer-I heard the sound WAH WAH when I tried a sip, but I couldn't figure out what the guy was being so condescending about. I felt really self-conscious, quickly grabbed a random GF six pack and high-tailed it out of there. It probably isn't the first time he's seen a inflamed Brows client come in post wax, but he acted like I was a leper.
After another visit to Brows, I again needed an evening drink for a dinner I was headed to later. I wanted a really nice bottle of red to go with the steak I had been told was being served. The woman who was working this time around was the total opposite to the man from my previous visit. She was helpful, suggestive, and friendly. While I was still red this time around, I left feeling pretty good about my purchase.
I may be back, but I will have to do a walk-by first to make sure the kinda jerky guy isn't working first.Listed in: My Yelp 100 in 2012 List

Very nice liquor/wine establishment in the Highlands, about 1 1/2 miles NW of Union Station. Parking near there is...interesting, to say the least...nearest intersection merges 5 streets. If someone barrels around a corner and you give them the right of way, they *will* take that only spot that's empty for a 3-4 block radius. (But that's hardly the liquor store's fault...just givin a heads up).
Proprietors were friendly, and it seemed like they had a nice selection of things, but I was primarily there for the Arta Tequila Tasting on Cinco de Mayo, so I can't really go into any depth here. I didn't check prices on many of their liquors, but I can tell you they wanted $40 for a bottle of Arta Silver, $50 for a bottle of Arta Reposado and $60 for a bottle of Arta Anejo (the differences are: not aged, aged in oak barrels for 11 months, and aged in oak barrels for 2 years -- really changes the nature of the tequila). $60 for a bottle of tequila seems pretty damn steep to me...*but*...it was artisan tequila and not mass-produced, so...
Nice place. You could do worse than take a lovely walk in the Highlands area and end up here. But I'm betting there are cheaper places around town to find what you need.
Stay thirsty, my friends. :) -

Fantastic hours.
Prices to match.
We occasionally stop by to refresh our cellar (a single shelf in my Berloni cupboard) :):) -

Dear fucking G-d.
This sweetass establishment combined two of my favorite things:
1. The Constitution.
2. Alcohol.
My third favorite thing is gay porn.
Alas, they don't sell that here and I don't think they should as it would limit the clientele that frequents this amazing spot of awesomeness.
My fourth favorite thing is drag queens and trannies.
It is not OUTSIDE the realm of possibility that I might one day run into a tranny or a drag queen here, I am just saying there are other places it may be more probable.
They do tastings on Saturday afternoon.
Also, they are within stumbling distance of my abode.
Perfection beyond perfection. -

A very helpful owner in Leo and extremely community friendly. They participate in Community supported agriculture and sponsor the farmer market. A great business that is socially responsible.

This is an overpriced addition to a block that needs some more interesting shops (like Mona Lucero's). I was underwhelmed with the selection and especially prices (wines anywhere from $4-7 more per bottle than other stores in the area). Its on my way from NW Denver to downtown, so will likely use it for emergencies only. I can't afford to make this a regular stop.
On the plus side, nice owner and interesting layout. People with lots of disposable income in the neighborhood will be happy. -

I dropped in with some friends this Saturday for their weekly wine tasting. The tasting was free and consisted of 4 French wines, three white and one red. The presenter was great and answered all of my dumb questions :) The store owner did the actual pouring.
I really enjoyed the light, white varietal and was pleased to see that it was only $13. So, they weren't trying to push some really expensive wines, which was nice. It was perfect for the BBQ we were going to have that afternoon.
The wines in the shop are arranged by location, rather than grape-type, which was pretty cool.
They do these tastings most Saturday afternoons 4-7pm. We will definitely be back!
We lucked out and found a parking spot right in front. But, it is street parking only and I'm sure some of you know how difficult it can be to find a spot in this area most of the time. So, if you can walk or ride your bike, I'd highly recommend it. -

GREAT new spot for wine and liquor! My cousin lives just down the street from this spot and invited me to check out their wine tasting last night. SO much fun. Leo, the owner, is great. Super friendly and full of knowledge.
We tasted some great wines and had a good chat with the distributor. I love the way the shop is organized. It's clear and easy to browse and they have these great little hang tags on random bottles with notes about flavor, origin, and pairings. It was really helpful for a novice like myself. There's also a very broad price range in what they offer which I really appreciate as great wine doesn't always mean huge price.
They carry a great stock of Colorado wines as well as beers and I'm all about the local love so that's the 5th star for sure! Can't wait to go back! -

Leo knows his wine and is very helpful. He recommended the perfect white for a new pasta dish I was making and it was the perfect pairing.

Nice shop on one of my favorite blocks in Denver. You can expect to find wines you won't see everywhere else, and at reasonable prices. I asked for suggestions choosing a red from South America, and received good advice, then went home happy with a yummy $14 bottle of vino tinto.

A great little shop with a nice blend of big name wines and small production esoteric brands. Not to mention a great selection of beer and spirits for a small shop. It is located in one of Denver's booming neighborhoods of the Lower Highlands and it is exactly what the area needed. They have prices to suit any budget and offer free tastings twice a week. I strongly suggest going in and saying hi to Leo and he would be more than happy to help youou find what you need.

Cheers! I love this place, close to the pad, great wine selection with a wide variety of prices. They also have a pretty extensive beer and liquor selection. I've made this a new staple, pop in for a bottle of wine about twice a week! Also, the owner is great at making recommendations! I typically go in and say something like "I want dry red for under 15 bucks". He gets it right every time.
