But it's got such a great selection of bottles, including lots of delicious choices from BC. I often stop by looking for a bottle to accompany a meal and the staff is always on hand to answer any wine-related questions. They're helpful, but not pushy and don't judge you in the way you know you're often judged by snooty oenophiles. A great way to buy wine is to taste it first, which makes Thursday (and sometimes Friday) the best afternoon to drop by Lennox. They host a wine tasting at the counter. While you're at the counter, look up ... way up on the shelves and you'll find a great selection of dessert wines from BC. Dessert wines (especially coveted ice wines) make excellent boozy presents. If you're traveling and want to take a bottle to thank your host, ice wine is just a small bottle and easy to pack!

This is a small hole in the wall beer & wine store on Seymour,…read more just south of Smithe. It's a part of the Moda Hotel I believe. The isles are rather cramped, it's hard to navigate your way around if there are more then a few people inside. Staff are hit and miss. Besides the older guy who is normally always there ( owner perhaps ??) they aren't overly friendly or helpful. The older guy is a bit more personable, but I still don't ever see him crack a smile, I don't drink beer, so I cannot comment about that. However, for the size of the store, they do have a fair amount of wine to chose from. Other then that, Not the best selection of cider or coolers. Just a few in the refrigerators. Some Smirnoff Ice, Palm Bay ect. Prices seem not too outrageous. For hard alcohol they have only 3 choices for vodka . But hey - its a "beer & wine" store. All in all it's not bad for that last min beverage stop. Cant ever have too many cold beer & wine stores!

Upon first impressions, this is a small boutique sized wine store (we are in South Granville after all) that tries. It's a split level, the entrance (higher) level is wine, lower level (exit) is beers. There is a little bit of everything grouped by countries. A few bottles of each brand, and looks like a good mix of mid-priced to higher priced bottles. Appreciated the fridges lined with white wine. I imagine it serves as a good last minute "grab and go." I had a few minutes to browse before I was asked if I needed help. They didn't have the bottle I was seeking but the guy spent at least 5 to 10 minutes going over some other wines he recommended, taking my budget into account and asking other questions (i.e. was I looking for a specific varietal, region, etc.) He mentioned I could bring the bottle back if we were unsatisfied with the wine but I didn't ask how that would work... I would feel sheepish to bring back an opened bottle of wine. In the end I took a bottle that was recommended, within my budget, and though I had never heard of this winery before, turned out to be a great hit at dinner. Thanks!

I don't travel with a wine opener, so being able to pick up a bottle that's a screw top is very convenient. This store was clean and well organized. The store is small but packs a lot of selection. There is a wine section in the back that offered bottle of reds between $10-$20. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, so the options were right up my alley. I went with a bottle of Cono Sur Bicicleta, a Cabernet Sauvignon (Wine of Chile 2012) for $14. It's medium-bodied, dry and fruity. You might find it cheaper at LCBO, but not by much. The label reads: A deep plum red with aromas of red fruit, cassis, black plums, and soft spices, together with a fruity, structured palate. Goes well with strong cheese, hearty stews and grilled cuts of beef.

They have a big bank of fridges with all the usual suspects ready for your enjoyment. The staff is friendly and they check you through quickly, even if there's a line up on Friday evening. However, it's not a great place to buy wine. The selection is all pretty cheap stuff - and not the cheap stuff that was chosen wisely because they're diamonds in the rough. Most of the wines here are cheap and taste like it. I'm a girl who's always shopping for a delicious bottle for under $15, so I've drank my share of cheap wines. I have my favourites and they aren't for sale here. The do accept bottle returns in the back. So if you live near here you can recycle up to 24 bottles in a visit.

We were fortunate enough to snag a tiny one by the pool tables but it wasn't big enough for food and drinks so we ended up moving before ordering food. We shared a small plate of nachos and a chicken wrap with fries. I don't recommend the guacamole, as it wasn't very fresh and just had a weird texture. The food was very average in my opinion. At least they have a decent beer list. They had karaoke and there was a steady stream of people waiting to take their turn on the microphone. Those folks were much braver than me, that's for sure. I love that they still have pull tab machines, those are always going to take some of my money, if for nothing else but the nostalgia. I ended up winning a few bucks, so that added to the overall positive experience. Service was ok - there seemed to be a bit of confusion over who our server was, but once that was resolved, we had no issues. It was fairly loud but not so much that we couldn't still carry on a conversation. I'd probably go back, because there are not too many places in the area that still have a pool table.

After checking their system records, they told me it was out of stock. I asked if they could recommend something similar. The person working said he knew nothing about wines and would get someone to help me. Kind of a shocker but maybe he was new? After 5 minutes of waiting (with no one else in the store), someone finally walked up. I repeated my earlier statement and he picked up some $75 bottle of wine and told me it was similar. I asked him to tell me more about the wine and he pulled some app off his phone to tell me something about raspberries. I claimed I didn't think it was my friends taste and he started arguing with me about how the app is never wrong and that is exactly what the wine tastes like according to the app. I tried to explain I wasn't arguing about how the wine tastes, but instead saying I didn't think my friends would like it. While he was trying to find something else that might suit me, I saw some bottles of Hess on the shelf and grabbed one and got out of there as quickly as I could. Not only was the wine much more expensive than my local liquor store but going in there was a painful experience. I will never step foot in there again. Just an awful experience.
