Fabulous place to go to buy just about any wine you can think of. Free cheese and wine tasting on Saturday's as well!

Cheese samples are great, but if you are under 21 bring someone older with you if you want to buy ANY drink. (Soda and juice included)

Biggest liquor store I have ever seen. Everything you can imagine is in stock. Great deli. Wonderful beer selection.

Food is great here, but find another location for alcohol. The non-deli employees/cashiers are great, but he "manager" and his buddy do not have time for customers.

This location has great wine tastings the 2nd Tuesday every month. Plus, you can pick up a bottle of Retro Big Red, made with real sugar.

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff! They made picking out a great wine for my Dad really easy for me. I don't drink, so the guidance was much needed!

Wow cool grocery store!!!
Erin WoodAugust 8, 2010
Don't forget your ID because they won't let you check out (even just to buy food) if everyone in your party isn't verifiably over 21... And yet children can run screaming through the aisles, no prob.
