Total Wine & More is a very stocked, very organized beverage outlet.
If you're looking it for something unique, no doubt, Total Wine carries it.
Taylor is very knowledgeable in the tequila, whisky, and for that matter he's good with the wine and champagnes as well.
Speaking of champagne, this is a special shout - out to the front manager, Natasha. I called in needing a recommendation and she went out of her way to describe one of her favorites and explained the contrasting characteristics of the wine. She said, "no problem, what time are you arriving?....I'll just put it in the chiller".
Awesome. Chiller? Every time I shop here I discover something new. They have this cool, and it is cold, chiller! What? Yes! Over by the tasting table there is a chilling tub where you can put a bottle in and leave with it cold. So whether you are in need of a chilled bottle of champagne or want to bring your wine to temp., they offer this, free to use and it works perfectly.
Total Wine also carries my favorite Pellegrino water. The one suggestion I would have is I wish they had freshly squeezed, high quality juices. They only offer 'Langers' and other brands that can sit on a shelf until eternity. Think of all the top-end liquor offered here; if you spend that kind of money and want to make a more 'artisan' cocktail, you want fresh fruit. But, understandably, this store is stocked to the crow-stepped gable in everything else under the sun, so a big 5 stars!!!
Oh wait, I cannot be remiss without a shout-out to the young sommelier. Darn, forgot his name. He's always nice to talk to and offers solid advice on the most random of questions. Cheers!!
