I had to be up not too far from here helping a someone out with a broken down car so after we were…read moredone with that I decided to stop by Tempe marketplace because I haven't been there in years mainly because I've been out of town. I barely recognized the place! But I kept driving around and got a little more oriented as I went along. I used to go to a Jo-Ann's or Michael's in the center but I can't remember which because I didn't see either and I know Joanne's has closed. Anyway as I was exploring, I saw the Total wine store and having had good experience with the one in San diego, I decided to stop by and see if they had Greek Retsina which is hard to find. They didn't have it and it was a dollar more than I had paid in San Diego but I think I got us sale price there. I remember years ago I used to be able to buy a gallon of it at a local Greek market for $5 but those days are gone. It was $12 for the one here so I bought it as a treat. The store was extremely neat and well laid out and a couple of employees I encountered were very helpful. I asked about lavender syrup and they had that. I asked about Ginger beer, the alcoholic kind, and they had that I happened on to a reasonably priced bottle of sangria so I got that and I've been out of beer forever so when I saw they had PBR for $10 or 12 pack I decided to go ahead and get it. In fact, I can't think of anything that I asked about that they didn't have. I considered it a successful trip.

This is usually my go-to spot for alcohol, aside from Costco. I really like that they offer…read morein-store tastings so you can try before you buy, and their prices are generally very good. That said, I'm giving 3 stars due to a recent disappointing delivery experience. I had guests arriving today and, with a busy schedule, I placed a $146 delivery order for the 7-8 PM window. When it arrived (after dark), I set the box aside on the patio and didn't open it until today while stocking the cooler. Unfortunately, the box was damaged, it smelled like alcohol, and three cans were completely empty. You could clearly see the leak, and it was obvious something had spilled. It's frustrating that this was still sent out for delivery--especially from a store I frequent and usually trust. This was meant to be a time-saving convenience, but it ended up being a letdown. At this point, I wouldn't recommend the delivery option--there's no way to know if you'll receive damaged or unusable products.

When ready, I ordered a ooh la la lemonade and we served ourselves some cold water. The bartender was friendly as she took my order and made my drink pretty quick. The tour started a few minutes later and lasted a little over an hour. The time went by fast as Tyler kept it fun, informative, and engaging. I learned a lot and walked away with some good brewery knowledge. We tasted several spirits and two were my favorite. There was a vanilla flavored one and a cinnamon one... cant remember the names, oops. We ended up buying the vanilla flavored one and I cant wait to use it! My ooh la la lemonade was delicious, not too sweet and not too strong. I had a GREAT time, this place rocks! Thank you!
