Always nice to hit up a new liquor store. This Virginia ABC moved into a new space early this year…read moreand what an improvement over the previous. Located in the Ironwill Centre beside First Watch. Plenty of parking and the area was debris free. While at brunch I had a wait so did a bit of browsing. They happen to be stocking the shelves and I was hoping to get an allocated bottle. However no such luck. The store has lots of light and a modern feel with exposed ceilings. The staff was helpful on trying to locate something else for me in the bourbon area. However there was nothing that really fit for a purchase. So glad to see ABC stores looking for better leases in new buildings around the state.

It was pristinely stocked, had a plentiful selection, and the staff was "Absolut"ly friendly and helpful! We were planning a party for a friend. We went in to purchase those tiny little bottles of booze to fill up a piñata (see? even grownups can play this game lol!) so we had to stick with the plastic bottles. The salesclerk came over and assisted us with our selections. The manager told us about the sales, he gave us some recipe ideas and we all had a nice chat while shopping. Check out was a breeze, maybe I should say a "sea breeze". Pop in here for your next hooch hookup...

When I walked in after their remodel, angels sang, a bright light came on and I spun around in circles smiling with happiness as I couldn't believe my eyes. Okay, that's a little dramatic but that's what happened in my head as I've never laid eyes on such a beautiful ABC store! I'm used to the boring aisles with bottles lined up, uncomfortable mirrors so the clerks make sure no one is stealing and pretty much no décor other than some random cardboard advertisements for liquor but NOT THIS PLACE! They had a beautiful set up of seasonal liquor displayed at the entrance. A tasting bar built in. A beautiful display of airplane bottles on one wall and actual décor on the walls that made me want to say "I'LL TAKE ONE OF EVERYTHING!". If that wasn't enough, a salesman asked if I needed help and when they couldn't locate a bottle of pumpkin liqueur that I needed, he called a location down the street and had them hold it for me. Way to go ABC store, now if you renovate all locations like this, I'll be speechless!

You'll find microbrews in 6-packs, build your own 6-packs, 22-oz bottles, new releases, imports, and local brews. It looks like a typical convenience store, and you'll find a few chips and breath mints, but the focus is on beers and wines. There were plenty of wines, but I can't vouch for the quality. My eyes were on the beers. It's almost as good as those premium specialty beer stores!

Had a lovely experience at J Emerson at their most recent Sweet Wine Tasting Event. I was able to…read moreindulge in tasting 15 different sweet wines from Vermouth to Eiswein for a very reasonable ticket price. In addition to the wine tasting, each tasting station was paired with a curated dessert as well created by Chef Eva Letteron, creating a very well rounded event. Walking in, I was immediately overwhelmed by the selection. The store reads like a treasure trove for both the novices and the wine experts, with every inch filled with impressive bottles. They even have a rare finds section for those seeking more elusive bottles. The owners and workers were all very kind with some appearing more knowledgeable about the products than others. They offered great insight in helping navigate all of the options. As a person who is new to the wine world, I greatly appreciated how accessible the tasting event was and how the information provided about the available wines was simple enough for even a wine newbie like me to appreciate. One thing to consider is that while the building is fairly sized, the walkways can feel a bit tight due to the numerous shelves and wine containers. Which may make it slightly challenging to navigate when the store is crowded, especially for those who may need more space. They did offer a discount for the tasting event which was a nice touch. I left with a bottle of Foi et Li, a delicious botanical forward vermouth that has only had 9000 bottles made. I'd definitely reccomend J Emerson if you're looking for a sweet wine or a rarer bottle to impress those at the next gathering!

The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and want to please. In addition to wine, they sell cheese of hard-to-find varieties, like a hard Honey Goat Gouda that is wonderful! The shop is situated on a street with cute cafes. Free parking is provided in a lot in the back, as well as on the street. The shop also issues a monthly informative newsletter offers a wine club as well. We're so happy to have discovered J. Emerson!

The staff are always really nice and tend to know some of the "regulars". At least, I've heard them address people by name at times while I've been there, so I'm guessing they must be frequent customers. Regardless, I always feel welcome at this liquor store, whereas I've felt judged and "stared down" at other locations in the past. I've never found any of that uncomfortableness here, though! They may not have the largest selection of liquor, but they have more than just the basics and it's super easy to pop in and out on a whim. Parking isn't usually as issue, but if you hit it at a busy time, there's a chance you might have to part in the adjacent lot. It's happened to me before, but it's certainly not the end of the world. They have a solid variety of bourbons, and they stock all of my favorite vodkas, so I'm a fan.
