Wide open space when you walk in with a bar and register along the back wall. Four or so guys…read morebehind the counter but they weren't greeting people. I was looking for something specific; couldn't find it so went to the register to ask for help. One of the staff was ringing someone up and the other four looked like they were trying to find something on the register or a computer and didn't even look up. Finally, one of them did and when I asked he showed me the location of the item I was looking for. I like to wander around and look, so I did that. People coming and going, steadily busy. When I was ready to check out, I was asked if I was a rewards member, I said no. No follow up, no asking if I wanted to join, nothing. There was also a sign next to the register for a drawing that was to occur that night, the qualifier was a purchase amount which I exceeded. Just like the rewards, I was given no information, not offered an entry, again nothing. Also, no smile, no friendliness, nothing. I won't waste my time coming here again. Other places I go are way too friendly and helpful and seem to care that I am a customer. I didn't get that here at all. I was in the area, and they were listed as having the item I was looking for, next time I will go out of my way to go somewhere else.

What a great addition to the Affton area! Barrel Blends has it all! They offer a huge selection of…read morewine, spirits, beer and cigars. They have a small bar area where they have eight beers on tap - some great local craft beer choices as well. You can have a pour of whiskey from the menu or purchase a bottle of wine and pay a $10 corking fee to drink it at the bar. If you are a whiskey drinker, you will be very happy with the selection of pours at the bar. They also have tiered whiskey flights! Next to the bar is a small lounge area with a couch and chairs to relax and have a drink. The assortment of local and craft beers, wine and spirits offered is impressive along with a range of price levels. Come in and check out all that Barrel Blends has to offer. You will not be disappointed!

No one was named "Norma," but I may have to start calling my friend on our return visit. And return I will. Wine and other spirits are sold in the store. You can buy some wines by the glass. They have a monthly promotion or theme or I don't know what they call it. I ordered a glass of orange wine and I bought at least 2 bottles of orange wines. Southside Wine and Spirits reminds me of a wine bar I happened upon in Rome. That place was staffed mostly by women and I felt so warm and comfortable there. I'm pleased there is a place with a similar feeling so close to home.

I love Vom Fass. Today was my second time stopping in here and I was in search of the delicious…read moreBear Garlic oil I had gotten last tim. They did not have this but once the very nice lady that works there knew what I wanted she was able to recommend items I would enjoy. She is so patient and kind. I enjoy the fact that she is extremely knowledgeable about the products and gave me a taste of everything I asked for, even mixing oil and vinegar together for me so I could taste the combination. She took her time explaining the bottle sizes (and a bonus, I didn't know before is that if you keep your bottle and clean them, bring them back and they will refill them with a new oil. It saves on the cost a bit because you don't have to buy new bottles) There is a very nice stock of alcohol as well here and they are all so unique. I am not a drinker so I skipped that but the selection of oils and vinegars is just as impress. They also have things like risotto, spices, chutneys, honey, chocolates and more. It is a very cute and welcoming space where you are greeted, allowed to explore and then assisted which makes for a great shopping experience. There is also a man who works the shop who I spoke with last time and I'd like to acknowledge that he is equally as friendly and knowledgeable about products and very friendly and helpful. Now I want to say here that I really feel when it comes to oil and vinegar you get the quality you pay for. Bot only does Vom Fass stock items using herbs and fruits that are in season but they are truly quality items. I am health conscious so enjoy using oil and vinegar of salads or veggie platters and Lao use flavored oils for roasting vegetables and each time I have used a Vom Fass item, I have been blown away by the taste so their products are definitely splurge worthy. Finally they host wine tastings and meal events that look fantastic and I will be signing up for some events here in the future. On the way out, the gentleman who works there came and opened the door for us and void us goodbye and safe travels. I appreciate this step and again felt not only welcomed but appreciated.

Definitely a hidden Gem in downtown Maplewood. I decided to stop in to see what they had to offer…read moreand I'm glad i did. They sell infused oils, Vinegars, spices,liquor, wine and spirits. The oils and Vinegars are in barrels lined up on the shelves, with labels that show pricing and a brief description. You are able to taste all that they have to offer, just reach out to staff for assistance. I saw quite a few different olive oils i wanted to purchase, but opted to go with the garlic infused olive oil. I did sample it, and it was absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the garlic. It was almost as if i was eating a fresh baked slice of garlic bread. I'm looking forward to going back and purchasing the chili Olive oil, and the pomegranate Vinegar. The gentleman working at the time stated Vom Fass has been around since 2006. Beautiful clean layout. Plenty of parking outside and friendly staff! They offer tastings in store so be sure to check them out. Also, they are an Eco conscious store, so all their products are in reusable glass containers. Bring in your clean glasses to refill.

They have experts on everything you could ever need - wine, cured meats, preserves, pasta, and more!!! They have everything. Like I walked in asking about Gjetost (a Norwegian cheese) and they had it. They also have an incredible cheese monger by the way who I didn't get his name but he was really kind and knowledgeable. Cute decor too, very kind of rustic and homey. Reminded me of my time in Italy. Oh and they make fresh bread!!!! I've been looking for a cute little market like this so I can shop local and this place is just fantastic. Had a pretty incredible turkey sandwich too - I added speck to mine! Sandwiches all come with chips + a soda too.

This location feels a little hidden, but it's there if you're searing for it! There's a big parking lot with lots of space. I walked in and saw lots of specials on bottles and picked up a bottle of Pinot Grigio for myself ($4.99) and explored the rest of the store. It's super well organized and labeled to find what you're looking for. Whatever you need, I would assume they have it. I don't typically purchase mini bottles of champs or Prosecco because they can be pretty pricy, but I found 4 mini bottles for $8.99 which in my opinion is a steal. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I definitely plan on returning to do some wine exploring :)

I was hoping to order and do a contactless pick up but to my surprise I was able to order delivery. Not only delivery but super-fast, and very in touch delivery. I received emails and texts with delivery information and could not be more ecstatic. It was such a blessing to have wines, hard liquor, and even some moon shine brought to my house. I did not even know this was possible. Randall's always goes above and beyond. I do enjoy shopping in the store, but this service is amazing and above and beyond. Thanks to Randall's I was able to have each family members favorite adult drinks with out having to take time out of the house. This literally made each family member feel extra special that I knew what they each prefer. I will be restocking before Christmas. I also plan on giving a lot of those mini bottles near the cash registers as adult stocking stuffers.
