I was with my mom and we went into Dorn's hoping to find some nice cheeses for some sort of…read moreoccasion. While they have a solid selection of cheeses, they were not what my mother was looking for. It was more of a "what do they have?" kind of venture, not a "We need this specific cheese" outing. I also looked to see if they had any ice wines, but they are out of season and out of fashion these days, so it is tough to find anywhere. Otherwise the store is pretty well stocked, and we talked to someone up front who was very open about their ordering policies and the ability to get various items that we might be looking for if they don't actually have it in stock, so they are very flexible in that regard. I feel that this is the place to go if you need something in the wine and cheese world, even if they don't happen to have it in stock immediately. Better to shop here than the big stores or online! Support the local places, folks!

False advertising ~! Twice now I have gone in and things were mislabeled. The store is clean and…read morehas a large selection. You will also notice a lot of things are labeled are specials / discounts. A couple months ago a 12 pack of beer was labeled as like $9.99, it said "12 pack" on the label. It rang up as $18 or so, so I had them check, and the manager said somebody had mislabeled it. They didn't honor the labeled price and seemed unable to acknowledge it was their mistake. No desire to make it right. Today, I noticed the Maker's rang up at a different price from the advertised one and pointed it out. I only noticed after I'd paid and went to check. The person working didn't even ask me to bring the label or go verify for himself; one can assume this happens frequently there. Instead of refunding me the difference, he offered to void the sale and do another at the actual price. I told him I didn't trust them to not just charge me twice and that they can keep the money (that's the whole idea anyhow, no?). So I indicated this has happened before and it seemed like it was part of their business model -- advertise a bunch of fake specials and just count on people not checking the price. He was adamant that it's super rare. I said I haven't had this issue elsewhere and he was incredulous. I asked how is it that fraud is so common elsewhere but so rare here? The math / logic / experience doesn't add up. They are way too proud here and need to be a lot more honest and have a much more expedient way of refunding people money they're stealing as part of their business model. Avoid at all costs, pun intended.
