I can see why these guys don't allow for reviews or messages on their FB. Their customer service is absolutely hideous (no response to emails, more than 2 hour wait times when they claim to have only five callers ahead of you on the phone), and apparently they find it a good business practice to accept payment but not provide goods (I ordered - and was charged for - a gift card as a Fathers Day gift. It was an online gift card, so literally all they had to do was email it. Apparently, beyond their capability). Interesting business model. Update: After three hours (apparently five calls take about 40 minutes each and they have only one customer service rep), I finally got a call back. The rep took my info, and assured me he would resolve it and call me back the same day. PERSONALLY call me back. If you're thinking that never happened, bingo! Too bad you cannot give less than one star; theft seems like it warrants a zero, don't you think? read more

Best selection around. Knowledgeable staff who don't try to sell you something that isn't for you.

I have to go a bit further out of my way to reach this Total Wine, but it's worth it every time. Bevmo says "Oh this summer beer isn't in season yet." Total Wine says "Of course, we even have it in the fridge." Bevmo makes you carry a stupid rewards card that gives you 5% off a purchase after spending $250. Total Wine doesn't believe in stupid crap like that, their prices are good up front. I really end up getting lost in the beer aisle, not knowing what to do. Saying I look like a kid in a candy store is an understatement, I'm like a kid who has discovered some cross between Disneyworld and Neverland. All my beverage snob dreams (er...my liver's worst nightmares) come true in Total Wine. Would recommend for liquor, too. If you can't find it here, what you're looking for probably sucks. read more

There was a female I spoke with named Erin, not sure if I spelled it right, but I spoke with her today and she was extremely helpful and kind. I definitely enjoyed her help and hope she is the one training everyone on customer service because she nailed it. read more

This is a new wine, beer, and spirits store in the valley, though they have over fifty stores throughout the nation! The wines are categorized by region, type, and in price. The store even has a section where the store rep's have selected the highest rated wines for your consideration. Each wine is well represented with a label in front of them explaining the type of wine, character and quality of the wine you are viewing. When there is a rating given on the label, who rated the wine is also given..ie: Wine Enthusiast, Parker, etc.,,, There are wine tastings for which you should call to get the details as to when. This store also sells hard liquor, cigars, and beer of incredible variety! It should not disappoint! I was impressed with the selections of everything they carried. It is like a Costco of booze!---lol Pricings on wines range from inexpensive to "Where's your checkbook?!" I saw a bottle of KRUG Champagne for $998.00 yet there were champagnes for as little as $7.00....bring your aspirin! All in all, this place rocks!------AAA+++!!!----Salute! and Cheers! read more

Total Wine & More - Glendale Location - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

First time I went there thought I was in heaven. It's like Costco but for beer, wine, and liquor. They have pretty anything you are looking for, even the hard to find limited items. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can taste test, buy kegs, and they even have wine and beer tasting events. read more

Total Wine & More - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I called to buy 4 cases of Beaujolais wine at 8.99 with a 6 bottle minimum purchase and talked to Hank. I explained that I was coming from far and asked him to read me the label and verify that he had the 4 cases. Hank read me the label and that they had many cases available. I went to the store asked for Hank an pretty old gentleman. After checking, Hank admitted that although he read me the correct label, he did not have any bottle available. I talked to the manager named Athena and told her that I was born in the Beaujolais region and that I wanted this special vintage. Instead of apologizing on behalf of Hank, she chose to explain to me that I did not have the knowledge about Beaujolais wine vintage!!! She did not even try to compensate me with a different vintage or a discount I now buy my Beaujolais from Trader Joe and save money. This Total Wine is a place to avoid in my opinion. read more

I usually come to Total Wine at least once a month if not more. I love their prime location and also being that it's right around the corner from me. This place is truly a hit or miss with customer service, though. I've had some good days and many more bad days where customer service was way below awful. I like coming in to build my own 6 pack of beer. I like that this store has that option and that there are many craft beer selections to choose from. Also when purchasing liquor their prices are competitive and seem to be cheaper than most. read more

I called to speak to someone about placing an order and I was put on hold for a very long time and hung up. Very poor customer service

Love this store! This was my first visit. Extensive selection - though of course they didn't have what I was looking for. Young man helped me and was eager to look up my selections to see if they could get what they weren't carrying. No luck but still a great store. I wish they were nationwide. read more

I'm not sure if the cashier was having a bad day or maybe I just gave her a bad luck, but she was super rude. I am visiting family here in Arizona and I wanted to pick up my brother-in-law a bottle of whiskey. And I simply just wanted to pay for it and leave, but this lady gave me the worst attitude and give me some kind of stink eye that I did not appreciate. I am very friendly and I give smiles to most people I meet, but this cashier did not care for that. I was very disappointed at this Total wine & More. not sure what her name was, but if I knew it, I would definitely put her on blast on this review. read more

Stopped in to look for a specific Japanese whiskey and even though they did not have it, I did not leave empty handed. This place is a wine and spirits Mecca. Normally if you are looking for something they either have it or can get it for you. The shear amount of variety they offer can be overwhelming, but the fact that they put the point values and recommendations for each alcohol makes it easier. I will definitely be back when we run out. I also love the way they organize the store in categories and regions. It makes wandering and finding what I want a lot easier. The clerks were really helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

If you want to blow your money of booze this is the place to go. Quite a large selection of everything from the cheap stuff to top shelf selections. I believe you can order kegs from here as well. Also a good selection of accessories for you bar area at home. There is a small humidor inside the store as well. All the employees are super nice and friendly which is a plus. I see they do wine tastings which is usually somehow scheduled when I'm not around. Hmmm I'll have to look into that. Overall I'd rather come here for than Bevmo. This place is way better. read more

They have everything you could want but just don't show up too close to closing time. I showed up at 9 last night and the poor person checking me out had to stand around with us for almost 20 minutes up front waiting for a white shirt manager to show up for a mandatory Id check. (Which I totally get, but cmon where are your managers hiding at? Not the cashiers fault in the least I just want them to know that) In fact both of the cashiers up front were amazing going above and beyond trying to do their job one of them was running around the outside of the building looking for their manager for the whole however minutes we were standing there with a line behind us poor honey it's hot outside. The other stayed with us while we were there waiting. Your MANAGERS need to do better maybe get walkie-talkies because idk what that was, but I was not happy about it. :) have a good day! read more

I love this place. It's my favorite place to buy alcohol. They have a wide variety of different drinks. You can even build your own 6 pack of beer! They even have cigars & sell kegs of beer. I like that they have deals for when you buy 6 or more champagne or wine. I also love the fact that they offer online orders where you can order ahead of time & pick up in store. This really came in handy when you're on a time crunch or have a large order. They will have you in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes. Customer service here is a huge hit or miss. But for the most part, I have great experiences here. I've only had bad experiences a few times. read more

I love this place. The prices are so good I feel guilty buying my booze anywhere else. They have any liquor and wine you could think of here. Plus all the supplies you need to have a party or a casual drink. I love coming to any total wine because their always friendly and helpful. When you come to Total Wine you get more than good deals you also get friendly and helpful customer service. The reps know their booze, so for any questions you have their always around. I love Coming to total wine and I will only come here. Why would I spend $38 for Ketel One when I can get it at Total Wine for $29! So glad there's a few total wines around me!! read more

"Do it. . .Bacardi and cola. do it do it." This ain't no disco, this ain't no Bacardi and Coke movie quote class, but serious as a Ford Gran Torino nicknamed "Striped Tomato"..."Do it. do it." Do this class. I love learning. I like drinking. Put 'em together...It's like Reese's Peanut Butter vodka. Get in here and get a ticket to taste. Taste n learn! Regions. Terroirs! Grapes. Varietals! Years. Vintages! The instructors are fun and engaging. There are many different classes from which to choose - Napa, Spanish wines, etc. The corks are poppin' like the V8 and there are some very cool snacks (cheeses, crackers, fruits, etc) provided with each class. Maybe someone in your class too, will look like Ken Hutchinson and then you will write a review containing seemingly bizarre associations. Ya dig? WINE CLASSES: $25 each or 5 for $100 as December, 2014. We tasted nine different bottles. This most recent class we'd attended was the "sparkling wine" and the bottles ranged from a price point of $10.99 to $119.99 (btw, the most expensive they've tasted to date.) My palate for grapes is much akin to my taste for lodging. Pour me a roadside Motel Six or unleash the Ritz-Carlton. Before I start singing a Billy Joel song (ie..."I don't know why I go to extremes")...let's cue the movie reference that started me down this road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra70O9nps6E Then have a BEER (CLASS)...I'm not going to quote this one... haven't taken a beer class yet!

What I am about to write is totally cliche. And, you can totally call me on it. But, I totally don't care. So, here goes: Total Wine is TOTALLY awesome! There I said it. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but I swear, the minute you walk into Total Wine, you'll understand. If you enjoy World Market's wine section and revel in the plethora of booze at BevMo, then you will be doing ecstatic cartwheels when you enter Total Wine. It has aisles and aisles of alcohol. They even have signs letting you know what's on each aisle. Aisle 1: Merlot. Aisle 2: Cabernet. Aisle 3, 4, 5: Whiskey/Scotch/Bourbon. Yep, I do believe there were several aisles dedicated to J.D., J.B. and their friends across the pond. I was in awe of the selection, and because I know little about hard liquor, I was dumbfounded by the sheer quantity of brands and prices. But, it didn't take me long to read the little notes below each bottle and make a competent decision. And, I must say, I think I got a smoking deal on a great bottle of Scotch, thankyouverymuch! My next venture was through the aisles and aisles and even more aisles of wine. Holy lover of wines! Never in my life have I seen so many bottles. And, the prices ranged from nearly Boone's-Farm- cheap to let-me-take-out-a-second-mortgage pricey. I was in a bit of rush, so I didn't spend too much time looking at all the wines, but that just gives me a reason to come back. All in all, I feel pretty confident in saying Total Wine is a totally magical place. And not unlike Disneyland, it may just be the happiest place on Earth... well for me, at least. read more

I think I have been to Glendale 4 times since I moved to Arizona 11 years ago, but that number is about to go up drastically thanks to Total Wine. I love Tops Liquor, I love Sun Devil Liquors, and I love Star Liquor and Convenience. I love supporting my local businesses and I love to cheer for the underdog, but in this case I am admitting that this store has turned me into a complete and TOTAL (pun intended) sell out. I am a bit of a beer and wine nerd and my fiance is a bit of a Scotch freak. We have done all of the ooohing and aaahing at Bevmo! already and I am pretty much over it. Last night I was perusing Yelp when I saw a review for Total Wine and immediately googled them and got very excited about their catalog and prices. Tonight we took the long drive to Glendale and it was so incredibly worth it. The prices were great, the selection was ridiculous and everything was very well organized. The wines are conveniently arranged by region and variety. They have information cards for almost every wine, free buying guides, employee picks and critics reviews to help you make your selection. The beer and liquor prices are great as well and as much as I didn't want to fall in love with a chain store, I did. I won't stop going to Tops or Star, and I won't be getting WEST SIDE tattooed across my stomach anytime soon, but I will be venturing out to Total Wine as often as I can. read more

Total Wine is definitely a beautiful, well stocked, well varied wine/liquor store. At first glance it blows BevMo! out of the water, but I am still a devoted patron of BevMo! (see previous review). Why you ask? Well there are a few reasons... 1. The place is BEYOND crowded on the weekend with the #1 patron being over the age of 60. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, it just sort of feels like I'm in an alternate universe seeing gramps stocking up on Grey Goose. Maybe it's just me? 2. No case discount. We asked the manager if they offered a case discount and he said their prices are already every day low. No problem, I get it. But....BevMo!, right down the street, matches all of their prices AND offers the case discount. Check out both on a Saturday and choose for yourself. Total Wine deserves a shout out for an excellent wine tasting area - and all for a penny! You can even walk around with your wine and leave your glass at the door. Now that's my idea of shopping! I even saw tequila tastings throughout the store - also for a penny! So, for that, I am bumping them up from a 3.5 to a 4. read more

This place has it all, and they are super big. You can sure get lost in here. The staff is very friendly, very professional and very helpful. I get ORGANIC VODKA here, and they offer 3 selections so far. Their prices are the cheapest to be found too. You would not think it by the looks of such a high-end place, but they are very competitive. They are located outside the Mall - just outside of Macy's - North of Bell Rd on 75th Ave. AND! They are open until 10pm on the weekdays and 9pm on Sunday. read more

I've died and gone to alkie heaven. I walked in & got giddy like an 8 year old at a Hannah Montana concert. It's basically a grocery store for wine, beer & booze. Unlike BevMo, my local fav, which is a couple aisles of wine & a decent beer selection, this is aisle after aisle after aisle of fermented grapey goodness (I think their selection of just French wines is bigger than all of BevMo's cumulative wine stock). I found some great Spanish Riojas, a Greek Roditis, some great South American Malbecs, and a few more run-of-the-mill, yet still excellent, Zins & Shirazes (Shirii? Shirazus?). Their staff is knowledgeable and ever-present, so, just in case you miss their staff picks, you can track down someone to give you a pointer. I think I ended up with 8 quality bottles for something like $90. Their beer selection, sadly, isn't as huge as their wine selection, but it still includes all the favs for less than normal prices (Rogue Dead Guy was something like $7.50 for a 6 pack). I was gonna check out the booze selection, but figured I'd save it for another trip before I passed out. read more

Incredibly limited selection of whiskey, almost no deals whatsoever and still overpriced. Just go to the BevMo down the street

For me, it doesnt get much better then this. Well organized and a staff that actually knows about wine. VERY well priced as well. My BFF and I were in there last night to start shopping for wine for her impending wedding (sounds doom like, eh?). We found so many bargains we walked out of there with 14 different bottles to taste including several that were under 2 bucks (look out Charles Shaw!).. I tried the cab last night.. not to shabby, fruity and not to complex.. very accessible for non red lovers.. anyhoo one of the sales guys was so helpful! He turned me on (yes he was cute) to a section that was dedicated to Portugal.. who knew? Great value here and no stupid discount card needed!! read more

My mother was the one who told me about Total Wine & More. I was bragging to her about my recent BevMo purchase, and she quickly set me straight. When I first arrived at Total Wine, I thought it totally looked like Trader Joes. Inside, the place was HOPPING - people were everywhere, and there was every kind of wine and liquor imaginable there. It was awesome. There was a tasting center at the back that I didn't take part in, though it looked like when you tasted something you got a coupon or something to purchase that wine at a discount. I was surprised to see such a range of wines - $100 and then a couple of bottles over, $4.99. I really like the way the store is laid out, and I want to go back soon when I really have the time to peruse the entire store more thoughtfully. I was on a mission during this visit: Find Effen vodka. I was introduced to Effen by my friend whose boyfriend is a distributor for Effen. At Safeway it's locked behind a glass case, and they make me feel like a criminal when I ask for it. Actually, they make me feel like I'm a 12 year old criminal. The checkout person actually has a look of glee when I walk up with the bottle, like he/she is poised and ready to say, "gotcha!" when they assume I can't produce ID ... which I always can. Holy cow, I'll be 30 in June. Anyway, back to Total Wine. I was standing in front of the INSANELY LARGE selection of vodka, spied Effen, noted the FABULOUS price ($22 a bottle vs Safeway's $34 a bottle), and then one of the clerks breezed past me and said, "Try the Raspberry. You won't be sorry." I had previously had the Black Cherry (in addition to the regular plain one), but oooh, Raspberry?? And it had a hint of vanilla. Plus, the silvery packaging had me sold. I grabbed a bottle of the plain and a bottle of the Raspberry plus some tonic and soda and hit the checkout. This is where things got a little funky. The woman in front of me had a few coupons with her from their grand opening advertisement. Her total was over $100, but if she hit $150 she would get to use an even better coupon. She also had a taster's coupon from the tasting bar at the back of the store. Apparently, the checkout girl rang in the taster coupon incorrectly, so when the customer wanted to add 3 bottles of wine to hit the $150 mark, the computer system was having issues. The manager comes over, and, to be honest, the man needed, well ... a glass of wine! He was stressed to the MAX (it seemed), and he was close to berating his employee. He made the whole ordeal out to be such a DRAMA ... The customer in front of me having the issue (a lovely woman) checked out my goods and rifled through her paperwork until she came up with a coupon that I could use (an apology for the wait). FINALLY, they got her on her way, and then it's my turn. The manager is still at the helm, and he takes one look at me and (with a smirk) says, "I'm going to need to see some ID." I have it ready to go. I'm used to this. "Oh, wow!" he exclaims. "Yeah," I say. "It's kind of nice I guess that I'm nearing 30 and I can't seem to pass for 21. I'm not complaining though." He rings me up and I notice my bill is barely over $50 ... and that's with tax. My coupon is for $5 off a spirit purchase of $50 or more. He's not going to be able to accept the coupon. I ask anyway. "No, I can't ..." he starts to say. Then maybe he realizes I was waiting in line for about 10 minutes (Really, 10 minutes. Do you know how long 10 minutes is? It's a really long time. Stand up and wait for 10 minutes. I'll bet you'll get bored and stop.). He decides to override the system and give me my $5 off coupon. On the drive home I call 3 friends to tell them about this place, so checkout ordeal or not, I'm thrilled to have visited and intend to return. Oh, and the Raspberry Effen is really good. :-) read more

They have an awesome selection of craft beer and local wine here. It's becoming harder and harder to return though. I'm treated like a criminal every time I come here. The last time I went, I wasn't greeted at all. I walked past 3 employees and none of them even acknowledged me. Which surprised me because they didn't seem very busy. Then I continued on to the beer section where I walked past another employee that didn't ask if I needed help. As I'm trying to decide what to buy, one of the employees started to follow me and act like he was looking for something. He continued to do this until I made my selection. When I go to buy, and they do this every time I'm here, they won't even touch what you put on the conveyor belt until you produce your ID and they give you a once over JUST to be sure it's really yours. I've even had some of the cashier brats grille me and ask me how old I am while they're holding my ID. Great selection, non-existent customer service, but if you appear to be under the age of dirt, be prepared to be treated like you're about to do a beer run. read more

If you're looking for a good moscato this is your place. I was in desperate need of a desert wine for a party and Total Wine delivered. Mauro Sebaste Moscato d' Asti was a huge hit! read more

Total Wine & More - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I love, love, love this place! I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that I live so close to one of these. When I first walked into Total Wine, I was in awe. There were so many types of liquor, I could not even believe my eyes. Whether you are a wine lover or enjoy liquor this place is great for anybody looking to kick back and have a few drinks. Total Wine has amazingly low prices, even better than Wal-Mart and they a HUGE selection. They also have my favorite Vodka here, which is usually very, very hard for me to find. Total Wine even has hard-to-find sodas that I haven't been able to find for years! With the huge selection of liquor, this place keeps me coming back! read more

Best selection of wine in the valley, and the spirits offerings aren't too bad either. They have wal-mart pricing to try and drive the competition out of business, and I'm sure they're feeling the pain. While I love the selection overall, there are some weaknesses. For beer and spirts, for example, they just have the most common top selling items and very little of the rare stuff. For single malt Scotch, you're lucky if there's just a handful of independent bottlings on the shelf. Virtually everything is distillery bottlings. With beer, there's none of the rare items like the Scandanavian beers, the special releases from Lost Abbey and others, and nobody knows about both of these two products. There are a few employees who can chat to some extent but it's obvious they don't have the actual tasting experience to give you an informed opinion of their own selection. Checkout is notoriously slow and they go way overboard in asking for ID, even when you're multiple decades above 21 in age. read more

The bitch at the register would not accept my California ID which I renewed before I turned 21, so it is vertical. She said it was not a valid form of identification because it is vertical when it clearly states I am 21 in 2012! I was forced to provide a different form of identification because my DMV issued license was not to their liking. The kicker was that I was not even buying alcohol, just mix! So, I didn't even need to be 21 for my purchase! Fuck you, and I'm never shopping at your stores again. read more

Bevwhat? Okay I'm not going to insult them. But Total Wine seems to just be better in every way. The selection is great. It does not matter if you want wine, beer, spirits, or other things (like cigars according to some friends). The prices are nearly always the best in town. And it is not uncommon to find an online coupon to make things even cheaper. Friday-Sunday they do free wine tastings and will offer discounts on any products in the tasting. On Saturday you can usually taste a few other products. In the past they've offered samples of tequila, rum, whiskey, or even introduced my wife to a brand of flavored vodkas that does not taste like alcoholic fake candy. The people conducting the tastings are always friendly, professional and friendly. There are numerous events featuring beer, wine and spirits. Some are free, others are not. The website, while not great, is competent and does allow you to play a pickup order. If you are like me and just want to be in and out (or don't want to be tempted to browse), place an order and it is usually ready within an hour. And the best part is I always get a new cardboard box. Drinks for friends and a free toy for the cat. read more

I'm not sure if it is a good thing that I moved very close to this Total Wine store. There prices can't be beat, at least on the wine that I know of, but the more I save the more I seem to spend. It just happens! I love their wine selection here and the enjoy the wine tasting offered here. I know my wine and I know this is the place to go to get a decent bottle for a fitting price. I will be back time and time again! read more

I had been to the Total Wine on Camelback and the staff there was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I remember when I was there we told the man helping us that we were looking for a Riesling. He suggested one from Washington that he said was very good and then had us follow him to the imports section so he could show us a German Riesling that he said was even better. I bought both. And then drank them. Both. So this past Friday I went into this Total Wine in Glendale, AZ (near my house) looking for anything specifically from Washington State (to send to a friend who just moved to Seattle) I was with my niece and we walked up to the person at customer service. I told her I was looking for something from Washington. Something white, maybe a pinot. She said "Well, sir we don't just have a Washington section. That could be anything. *Pointing* they could be there, there, there or there. There all over, you'll just have to look." Excuse me?!?! She couldn't have said oh well the Pinot's are in aisle whatever, or oh I know a great bottle you can try, or even let me call someone else to help you. She was so rude that my 4yo niece (yes, I brought a 4 yo to a wine store) asked me why she was so mean to us. Why didn't I just walk out right then and there??? Well, I am glad I didn't actually because luckily, not one but two men came to my rescue within just a few minutes. They each pointed a bottle for me told me about that specific wine, and educated me on wines from Washington. They were both great. Super friendly, outgoing, and seemed to know everything about each bottle of wine in the store. I left with two bottles. I wish I had said something about the woman in customer service, but I didn't. What I wish for even more is that I got their names because those two men definitely deserve recognition. I was just so flustered and a bit shaken at that that I didn't ask. Kudos to them, but I hope Total Wine does themselves a favor and gets that monster at customer service out of that store! read more

My wife and I joke that this is our new "$100 store" because we can't get out of there without spending less than $100...we typically go in there for a single bottle of wine or a margarita mix and we end up with a 12 pack of local beer and a some wine. They have wine tasting in the afternoons on Friday-Sunday. Erika is usually pouring the wine on Sundays...she is VERY knowledgable and has gotten me onto some cabernet sauvignon....I used to strictly drink white wines. She has no hesitation to smile and ask you if you want to "go down the line" trying all the wines. Everyone in the store is very friendly and knowledgable, but on top of that - the prices are the best around and the selection is incredible. read more

The worst service ever! The clerk Angela, was so rude i will never go in this store again!!. Black Friday 130pm. She was having a bad day and she took it out on me. BEVMO is a little farther away but they are always so nice and accommodating. Less sales tax in Peoria too! read more

It's like the Costco of booze. No better place on the planet for getting a wide array of booze at the best possible price.

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They have a huge selection to choose from and a large seasonal section with single beers and ciders to try for a unique experience. read more

Total Wine and More is a liquor mecca. All kinds of obscurities and mainstays under one roof, it's beautiful. The best part is, the prices are great too. I can get a 750ml bottle of Johnny Walker Black label for $19 sometimes, that's about half as most other places. Twelve packs of beer (good stuff, like Dundee honey brew and Moosehead Lager) for ten bucks. Tequila, and I mean good tequila, for about $20 a bottle. Kegs, boxes of premixed martinis, oh, and wine. My wife and I bought all the wine for our wedding here, they even give you a discount if you buy by the case. I never walk out of there for less than $100, and that's only because I find so much good stuff. I always try to grab something new and interesting when I walk through the aisles. I am sometimes caught by sample stations giving our samples of wine or beer and it's so good (and priced well) that I typically grab some of that too. My latest discovery is TY-KU, an Asian spirit which tastes something like Sake, Melon liqueur, and Green Tea. It's only $20 for a large bottle and the bottle has a very pretty light in the bottom that illuminates the green deliciousness when it sits on your shelf. It's fantastic over ice. I've been going here for two years now and there are only TWO things EVER that I have asked for and was not there, hard root beer, and mexican bottled coca cola. That's it. And I've asked for some pretty obscure things...so that ain't bad at all. They have a really nice Cigar selection too if you're into that kind of thing. Anyway, enough of my rambling. If you're a drinker (drink responsibly) and take a trip over here, you'll be glad you did. Oh, but the sign on the front is misspelled. It should read "Total WIN". ...zing. read more

There are liquor stores, and there are liquor stores. This place has spoiled me for anywhere else. Huge collection of great wines and beers, helpful staff. I wish they'd open one nearby in CO. Next time we visit the in-laws, I may stop here first! read more

We were Bev-Mo fans for a long time, but one trip to Total Wine cured us of that. In the end, Total Wine just has better prices. On almost.everything. They have a great selection and lots of variety. I always walk out with something interesting and I'm super picky and mostly drink hard ciders. The individual bottles of beer are a great way to try something unusual without committing to a whole 6 pack. The tastings on weekends are great- we've bought several well-priced bottles of wine after tasting them, and you get a coupon for a small discount if you buy a wine from their tasting. We've never taken any of the classes so I can't speak to those. This place is relatively easy to find as it is tucked in behind Arrowhead Mall.
