I had a wonderful experience in one of our local stores this afternoon. The store is called SWAM. Their website is located at http://www.SWAM.com and the shop is located in Aiea on Oahu in the Waimalu Plaza Shopping Center at 98-1277 Kaahumanu Street, (808) 487-7926. 
Swam is an upscale liquor and wine store with everyday prices. More than, the young lady who owns it possesses a wealth of knowledge on everything she carries in her store. Have a favorite Red Wine? Share with her what you like about it and she will present you with several options of other wines that will knock your socks off! I know this because has done this for Gayle and myself on several occasions.
Today I was looking for an excellent bottle of Single Malt Scotch to give as a Christmas gift. She started to pull down bottles that were amazing to me…and I don’t even drink Scotch! I had given her a price range and she pulled 10 different bottles and types of Single Malts down for me. Some were meant for “Everyday Drinking” and some were meant for Collectors because they are very rare and or about to be. I ended up choosing a bottle that was meant to be drunk and enjoyed and that I knew the person I bought it for would NEVER buy it for himself.
She also shared stories with me about questions she gets asked on her selection of Vodkas and other Spirits. Do yourself a favor and get into SWAM and buy yourself or someone you like something special.
Cheers-
Mike
