Sherry's is the closest one to you I can think of that has a surprisingly broad selection. It's more impersonal than Calvert Woodley so if you want a person to tell you what to get that's the better store even though their range won't be as interesting.

It's further, but I really like Ace Beverage. I'm more of a rum drinker and their selection is unparalleled within city limits. In general they have a surprisingly sophisticated selection given it's across from a big school (American University) and I've been impressed by the other stuff they carry in other categories. Bonus, they offer delivery (and do it themselves, not with some janky delivery service) within DC for a nominal fee which I use a lot because I live about as far from them as you can get.

Ace is awesome but if you're ever looking for rum, I'd also recommend S&R Liquor near Farragut West. They have the best non-Ace rum selection of anywhere I've found and they're much more convenient.

Ace is the place for high-end and a broad rums. I love that place and their pricing is really good (better than Virginia ABC).
