I was in need of a nice white wine for a evening with friends, so I thought I would try Varsity…read moreWine. The guy at the til greeted me and asked if I needed help with anything to let him know. The store is very dim and disorganized with boxes everywhere. They have rack after rack of wine, which is supposedly organized by country. All the price ranges are mixed together, $14 with $35. They have a display case in the back full of $100 and even $300 wines! As I searched the rows, all I saw was red wine, one out of 20 was white! So I decided on a rose. Then spotted a red at the back that seemed appealing. I noticed that they do tastings, so I asked the guy when I went to pay. He said that they do and he actually had a red open right now, if I was interested. I never pass up free samples of wine! It turned out to be an amazing selection too, one I had never heard of, which I think I will try next time. They also have a basic stock of beer and liquors at standard prices. So I bought the rose, at $15 and the red at $20. The rose turned out to be horrible, so I feel that was a waste of money. I have had $10 bottles of wine that were better than that. The red turned out to be perfect. So I will definitely ask for advice when it comes to shopping here for wine again. I will return to Varsity Wine if I am in need of a pricier wine, but there are better places to buy a good cheap bottle of wine from.

I'm writing about this location because I have found the cashiers to be noticeably friendly, which I really appreciate. I also enjoy Sev's ridiculously evil, yet so yummy specialty treats, like the Raspberry Caramel Cappuccino I just discovered and downed a big mug of yesterday. Wow, that was awesome (but keep in mind that never in life have I had anything too sweet to devour, so some of you may not agree). As much as I prefer to support the mom and pop businesses of Calgary, there are a few occasions when the big guy wins.
