I wasn't impressed with the options, (Wanted Shiner Bock) but easily found something to drink. They have a member/loyalty program that normally I would pass on enrolling just to avoid the spam email. Cashier pointed out exactly how much I would save based on my purchase and how easy it was to sign up. I liked it was an immediate discount versus point system.

Come here if you want to be creepily stared at and discriminated against for looking young. Sorry babe not all of us age like you do. It's really disappointing to see men still acting like this.

Closest liquor store to my casa so it's a great stopping point on my way home from work. Prices are…read moreabout a dollar or two above what a larger store would offer, but their location and friendly staff makes up the difference. They have about 1 cooler full of local/micro brew beer on top of an entire wall of cold beer filled with what you'd expect from a liquor store. Good location, friendly workers, with limited local brews earns it a 3 star from me.

Very average selection and not worth supporting a business who wont give all customers an opportunity to buy the harder to find bottles. These store owners fail to realize that if somebody is able to purchase an allocated bottle at their store then theres a much higher chance that they will earn their business moving forward. Dont waste your time at this store, not worth it!

The thrill is so gone Had it had it and had it…read moreApply brick to head The first time I went to a Total Wine in the Phoenix metro, I was like a kid in a candy store. So many beers that I had never had before that you could buy in singles. They came up to the Twin Cities a couple years later. Still pretty sweet for awhile. The times they are a changin'. These days, at least half of the shelf space that they used to have for beer is now THC and NA beverages. What they do have for beer almost never rotates and there is way too much emphasis on the local. Total Wine can still be fun if you visit one somewhere that you have never been before to find some new to you beers. The only reason I go them locally anymore is the sheer sake of convenience. Prices are up everywhere, but it doesn't seem like Total Wine has the bargain prices compared to their competition that it used to either.

The most recent time I showed up with a laundry list from my husband and one of the guys working helped me pick up what I needed. There were a couple things that I picked up that were the last on the shelves or slim pickings, but that could definitely be because it's December 27th and everyone already got stocked up for Christmas and new years. Tons of parking, easily accessible, and in a convenient location. Not sure what else you might need from a liquor store!

Vinifera is my neighborhood hook-up for the latest beer releases. It's a tiny place, tucked in the…read morecorner of the strip mall on the southeast side of the 6 & 101 intersection. About two-thirds of the ~750 square feet is dedicated to wine, although I rarely purchase wine here. The remaining space is mostly a large cooler with loads and loads of regional craft beer offerings. Living nearby, I drive past 10-15 times a week. Each and every time I debate whether I really have any more space in my beer fridge for something else. Call it a craft beer addiction if you will, but it's also fun to try different stuff. When I finally succumb to temptation, my usual approach is to stride in, nod to the proprietors (an older couple) or manager (a younger, very beer-savvy drinker), check out the new releases stacked on the left side of the counter, and then park myself in front of the coolers. There is always something new to consider, and I do rely on UnTappd to give me a sense of what may be worth trying. Pricing is a bit higher than what you'll find at the megastores, but selection is more interesting and the product is fresher. Vinifera gets regular shipments from Junkyard, Drekker, Brewing Projekt, Drastic Measures, Oliphant, and other premier microbrewers that you can't always find at your typical mom-and-pop liquor store. They do offer a wine club (nominal pre-pay in exchange for discounts) as well as punch cards for multi-pack beers (free multi-pack after 10 purchases). Every so often you can find discounts in the local adverts. Check 'em out when you're in the western burbs. They are only 5 minutes from the 494/394 interchange.

I didn't agree with Gayle's iphone directions to their house, but drove in that direction anyway. That was a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't have seen the sign directing us to Vinifera Wines and Ales. Both Gayle and I were impressed with the wine selection, which we also found to be reasonably priced and extensive for the relatively small space. I also had a wide range of beer choices and ended up with a very tasty winter ale from Bell's. We also enjoyed the store dog, a shy brown retriever mix named Berkeley.

Instead of giving us a quick call or checking on us, they simply canceled our reservation. We understand restaurants have policies, but a little flexibility and communication would have gone a long way, especially when the delay was caused by the valet situation. It was frustrating to have a birthday dinner ruined over something largely outside of our control. Bad bounce on both sides but you could have figured out to accommodate us. Not two tables in the bar!
