The local cheese selection did not disappoint. We also learned you must pay for your groceries to go into the liquor store and vice versa. The store is chaos and crowded but they seem to have decent prices. The liquor store was also packed but really unique selections. If we had more time we works have walked around more but we got what we needed.

I've been to Total Wine & More twice, and both experiences have been top-notch. Last year, I…read morevisited to grab a bottle of wine from one of my favorite rock 'n' rollers' brand, and the store had it in stock. This year, I called ahead to ask about wine and beverage cups, and was pleasantly surprised to speak to a real, live person who not only confirmed they had what I was looking for but also told me exactly which aisle it was in. It's refreshing to get that kind of personal touch, especially in a place that might seem like just another big-box store. Located on the south side of West Towne Mall, it's easy to find, well-stocked, and the service goes above and beyond. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I get torn. I love to root for the little guy - the family-owned business making their way. That…read moreusually puts me square against the big chains driving them out of business. However. Total Wine & More really does a good job providing a wide array of products for a great price. I've been here several times and never leave disappointed (except for one thing that I'll mention later). Their employees know their products and can make smart recommendations based on what you're looking for. Samples? Yes please! At one visit, an employee pointed out a good whiskey that he thought I'd like. Lo and behold, it was one of the samples, so I was able to "try before I buy". I like that. On another visit, I was lured into a back room for a tequila tasting. Not liking, I tried to decline, but was convinced to give them a try - and I was not disappointed. Also, I like how at the front of the store they have racks of "airplane bottles" - small "samplers" that you can buy to try out various products. Again - I like this idea. It was a way for me to try peanut butter whiskey without sinking too much into a larger bottle... So yeah - they're the big guy on the block, but I like the service they provide, and the deals that I get. I would LOVE it if they were able to track down a bottle of Thomas Tew rum. This is a personal goal of mine (I have my reasons), but I understand they are a small brand only found on the east coast. Someday...

I am admittedly not much of a beer drinker, but their wine, seltzer, and cider sections are enough variety for me that I'm able to try something new each time I've gone. They also offer "Good as Gold" frequent visitor tickets each time a customer spends more than $10. Collect 10 and you'll get $5 off at your next visit, which is not bad! Love when a place has a frequent flyer rewards system and it makes me a regular at Liquor Town.

If you are like me you continually look for best prices, selection and quality. This store has collard greens and FAGE 5% plus some great prices on quality produce.

They are actually stellar. Featured are many wines, also spirits, and beers. I would say the focus is in that order. There are classes going on in the back sometimes and a list you can add your email to at the register. Although I don't think I've seen an email come through since joining the list about 1-2 months ago, hmmmm. Anyways, a definite recommend over a grocery store or another liquor store that many don't take price in their assortment offerings. Steve's really does!

Both have similar stuff and if you need a light dinner or snacks, don't go to a separate store, buy them from Steve's, too! Everything I've tried in their cooler has been suuuper awesome. The pâté I thought, well this can go either way... if it sucks, oh well. But it's SO GOOD! And the package has all the good stuff I like to see like Rainforest Alliance and Women Owned and no weird ingredients I can't pronounce or fillers. Really, if you like pâté, you will like the Alexian Pâté De Champagne! Then there's this truffle cheese... oh my it's a gorgeous flavor! And only 6 bucks. You'll be so glad you did. I've tried several wines and usually look for the sales, and I've never been disappointed! Recently I purchased an IPA with pineapple and coconut and thought this could be weird if not executed right... then I remembered: I'm at Steve's! They don't sell anything that isn't really good!!! And that was some amazing beer by Fair State Brewing Cooperative. Well done. So, it's worth it to stop at Steve's versus and grocery store. You'll get a better selection. And because of the results in what I've purchased at either store several times now, I believe they workers at Steve's taste everything before they sell it! Stuff is all so good that they sell!
