    What! There's a Total Wine in Southern California. Well, I'll be. I thought that this was BevMo…read moreterritory, but I'm glad to see a Total Wine in these parts. This Total Wine visit was a means to an end, to be honest. I visited strictly for two reasons: One, to procure bourbon that can't be found in the Midwest. And two, to grab a bottle of red wine that has a twist-off cap that I could take back to my hotel room. I'm happy to say that both missions were accomplished! This Total Wine is like many of the other Total Wine stores: It's very organized and neat, with helpful people all about. That's one of the things that I love about Total Wine: There are people here and there in the aisles, ready to help. The other thing that I love about Total Wine is that it's so super organized, so you can just pop into a store and find what you want. That was the case for me, and I was in and out very quickly. Sometimes, you want to wander and browse. And other times, you just want to go in and get what you want. I got a bottle of red wine, and it was delicious. What more can you want?

    Came into the store this morning to get drinks for my party of 30 on Saturday. Immediately, the…read morecustomer service was outstanding. Each person was willing to go above and beyond to help! And big shout out to Ben who took the time to walk around the store with me and grab everything I needed. Appreciate you all. Thank you!

    I needed to get a birthday present for a friend who likes Spanish wine and the big box stores…read moreweren't cutting it for me. I was on a time crunch when I stopped in. I asked the man at the counter if he could point me in the direction of what I was looking for. He did and then some!! I found exactly what I was looking for even though I only had a vague idea, thanks to him. I love the store, it's in a little shack next to the nursery on San Marcos blvd. They are reasonably priced (often less than the big stores). They have a good variety and it's fun to wander the aisles. Plus they have fun events and ever changing flights. Sign up for their emails so you know when they're serving something you'd like to try or something you know you like. Plus the outdoor patio is very pleasant. If you sit at the bar everyone chats, it's a nice environment!

    My husband and I went here today for the first time after visiting the garden/ nursery next door…read more We were greeted with a smile and offered suggestions or help for finding any certain wines in their shop. When we arrived we were the only people in the shop so we asked the employee if the wine bar area was open and if we could grab a glass of wine. He said 'of course!' We sat down, and were able to easily see the wines available and pricing. The employee introduced himself as Jim, and we soon learned he was the owner! Within a few minutes more guests arrived and filled the space. Jim knew everyone's name, even asking about pets and upcoming trips. It seemed like a real community. I quickly got to know the other local guests, and learned about their wine club! From Jim's service, the great variety of wine, overall ambiance, and laid back vibes I would recommend everyone to check this out. I'm already looking forward to coming back for the wine club events! They do also serve a small selection of cold bottled beers and snacks like chips and crackers. I did see other guests bring in their own food, so maybe that's allowed too. Thanks Jim!

    Shoutout to Des who was absolutely amazing! The manager who was bartending was also fantastic…read more(sorry I didn't get his name). It seemed like the restaurant was dealing with a huge rush, but they were both so calm, cool, and collected the entire time. We had an item missing from our order, and Des was incredibly attentive about it, checking in with us and following up until everything was taken care of. She was genuinely a great server and made what could have been a frustrating situation completely painless. And of course, the food is always amazing! My favorites are the hot honey, burrata & sausage pizza and the house salad which is seriously one of the best salads I've had. The buffalo cauliflower is also delicious, although I wish the portion were a little bigger! Great service, great food, and a great location. Parking can sometimes be a little challenging, but it's worth it. Again thank you, Des! We really appreciated you taking such great care of us!

Despite the long lines and obvious influx of customers, they all maintained such positive attitudes. A special shout-out to Des, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. She checked on our table several times, and when a few items were missing from our order, she made sure everything was corrected right away. We also won a trivia question that earned everyone in our party a free beer flight, and the bartender was friendly and helpful as well. It's refreshing to see that genuine hospitality and great customer service still exist. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!
