I own a…read moresuccessful construction company and am constantly dismissed when asking for help and eyed-down by the managers at the booth when walking in, and even some cashiers. Nicholas/Nick was particularly rude. He nearly barked at me to go to another lane when he saw that I had a "create-your-own-six-pack" of beer that he presumably thought was too tedious to have to individually scan. There was no cashier at the other "open" register and I told him that, but he rudely insisted that the register was, in fact, open, but that there was just no one there to assist me! What helpful pedantry, Nicholas! Bravo! I don't dress particularly poorly or wear dirty clothes, either: usually nice jeans and a hoodie or a flannel. I never look like I'm fresh off of a job site. Basically, no different than anyone else running errands at Target or HomeGoods, next door. At any rate, I've shopped here periodically over the last twelve years or so, and it's clear that if you don't dress like a milquetoast there to buy a case of wine (nothing against wine, but you know exactly the sort of moneyed-looking stereotype I'm talking about) they dismiss you, ignore you, watch you as if you're going to shoplift as you walk the aisles or argue with you if you ask a question that betrays the fact that you're not a total wine snob (pun intended). Once, I had the gall to ask where the vermouth was about a year ago, and the sales associate snobbishly told me that it was "over near the reds, where we always keep it, OBVIOUSLY!" in an incredibly condescending tone. That said, some of the cashiers (red polos) are perfectly nice, but a lot of the white-shirts (managers and/or sales associates, I suppose) are the ones who are quite snobby and dismissive. The disconcerting thing is that if you look back through the reviews of this location and others in the area, there's a consistent stream of negative reviews complaining about similar appearance-based discrimination and mistreatment. They clearly are trained to seek out and help people who look a certain way, who are inclined to spend more money on wine, and not beer. In essence, if you don't look like you have both the money and inclination to purchase a few cases of vintage Bourdeaux, don't bother attempting to shop there, or God forbid, ask for help finding something or getting rung up. I guess I've just bought my last six-pack from "Total & Complete Snobbery & More!". Seems like they don't want beer money and have a dress code to enter their incredibly classy suburban strip mall taupe-colored "wine boutique" with all the ambience of a small ethnic corner grocery, anyways. I certainly wouldn't judge anyone if I slung booze in such surroundings, especially if I was doing it while wearing a cheap white dress shirt a size too large and a chunky dad tie, either.

However, on about 50% of my visits I have been either ignored completely, treated rather rudely, or some combination. This doesn't seem to be based on how busy the store is- I've really only ever had one or two other customers in there at the same time I was in. I have no idea why, unless it is the difference in my apparel (work vs. casual). I left the other day knowing I won't be back. I can get good wine elsewhere without leaving feeling badly about the interaction. Too bad.

There there is an Olive Garden nearby so it isn't out by itself, even if it feels like it. The weather was beautiful, so we grabbed a high top in the bar area, overlooking a nice little pond behind the restaurant. The service in the bar was surprisingly good, despite the bar itself being pretty crowded and nearly every table around it being populated. The food was served quickly and they allowed us to customize to our liking (TIP: pay the nominal upcharge to replace your existing side dish to Brussels sprouts with bacon and spiced pecans! Or get it as a side to share) I had the Hickory Grilled Hanger Steak with mashed potatoes and a field greens salad, except no potatoes. The salad was amazing (it has dates in it for a sweetness to balance the sour of the dressing) and the medium rare steak was phenomenal. We each had a glass of beer -- the Pale Face Summer Wheat on draft. It is a classic German Hefeweizen and described as "malty with banana and clove flavors." I tested the banana on my first sip. It was a solid choice. The next day, we worked a 15 hour day without stopping to eat. By the time we finished, we were so tired that we agreed to return. I ordered the same steak and my coworker followed my recommendation. He agreed that this is the steak to order. (even if he ordered his more well done than mine). For the second visit, we ordered the bread pudding for dessert instead of beer with dinner. I suggest splitting the dessert. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic, but was definitely shareable after a full steak meal.

Last time, I learned "Total Wine and More" doesn't have the "and More" in Virginia. This time I learned this place carries only liquor. This seems to be the place to come locally if you like your bourbon, as shelves on one entire wall, and about half of the back wall, were devoted to it. The selection was decent, though a large portion of it was numerous varieties of the most popular brands. Prices were typically a buck or two above competitive for the whiskey/bourbon/scotch selections in general. I liked their rum selection too. Everything is well laid out here, and it's bright and clean, a good place to include in your liquor shopping itinerary.

The beer, sadly, just isn't as good as in those days, but now you can at least drink it on site. Their combination, taproom, and pizza restaurant in Herndon is well-located, nicely appointed and has good food.

Namely, whether or not it wants to be an adults only trendy brewpub or a family-friendly pizza and burger joint. Given 90% of the clientele on a given day is millennials with young kids eagerly shelling out for $8 beers and $15 wings and $17 burgers, you can understand my confusion in their steadfast refusal to provide high chairs, but alas... here we are.

Classic cocktails are just $7, and we went with the Sazerac-style drink, which reminded me a lot of an Old Fashioned--smooth and well-balanced. The food really stood out. The Chicken 65 was absolutely incredible--I haven't stopped thinking about it and was honestly tempted to go back just to grab some to-go. The cauliflower bites were also solid, and I liked that you can customize the spice level. Service was impeccable.
