I did an on-line order for this wine (see attached photo of 2017 vintage). When I showed up at the…read morestore I noticed that the wine was actually a 2019 vintage. I brought this up the the staffer who went and checked the shelf and came back and told me that this was an un-vintaged wine. I was like WTF? I clearly has a vintage and I bought a 2017. He explained to me that they just sell whatever corporate sends them and that he has no control over what shows up. He was able to change it on the website almost immediately though to 2019. I needed the wine for an event the next day so I had no choice but to take the new vintage. I sent an email to both corporate and the store manager thinking that they would make some amends. The manager called me the next day and politely explained that they have no control over what shows up on the website and that they just shelve what is sent to them by corporate. In addition he explained what was meant by "un-vintaged." Evidently what that means is that they don't stock and store several vintages like they do with some wines and that because corporate doesn't always update what they've been shipped this can sometimes occur. OK, so he talked me down and I guess I was convinced that it wasn't the store's fault. But still I feel like they should have made some monetary amends for the mistake they made as a corporate entity. so, I was gong to leave it along. But today almost a week later I get an email from corporate saying: Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out to Customer Care about this. Per the information from your order 355673938, the La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2019 is indeed the correct vintage/item purchased on the order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. What the actual heck? Did they not even see my original email that VERIFIES that my order was a 2017 vintage. Sheesh, whatever so done with the corporate BS. I will not be returning to this store.

Everything is sold in bulk and you can bring your own containers or purchase theirs. That keeps prices very affordable. The store is clean and spacious and has a great feel to it. The staff was friendly and helpful. We couldn't help but linger, calling out to each other "look at this!" They have a great selection. There are spices I haven't seen before so I know I'll be back. You can weigh the products while you are filling the bags/bottles so you know how much you are spending. One suggestion we have is to consider placing small notes near the products to give ideas for their use (e.g. culinary, medicinal, etc.).

They offer a few flavors of shave ice on weekends, good, but not as good as Hawaii, of course. They also have frozen yogurt and all the toppings by weight. The weird thing is that there was a woman sitting at one of the dining tables for at least an hour petting her two pet bunnies, which was a little odd given there are uncovered toppings out.

The original tart was really not tart at all, mostly creamy and did not taste like the tart I am used to. The mango was kind of icy and reminded me of sorbet rather than frozen yogurt. Not many fruit toppings options, but lots of other sweets like chocolate, candy, cereal, etc. I wouldn't say this satisfied the frozen yogurt craving, but it was good to try it.

This should be Marin's go to spice shop no doubt.
