Brentwood Wine & Spirits

Super nice staff!

Easy in and out service. Most of the the staff are eager to help, but are strictly self serve. Prices are mostly competitive.

OK. This crappy review is based on service.
I am NOT a wine drinker typically. I drink lagers and wheat beer, good bourbon, Irish whiskey, Tanqueray Ten etc.
I often get a headache from wine but noticed when I was in France that I could drink wine like a fish and not only enjoyed it, I never got a headache.
Someone told me that was because of sulfites. I don’t know if it’s true, I don’t care if it’s true. But I headed off to our usual liquor store and bought an organic called Our Daily Red that was recommended to me. It said No Decipherable Sulfites on the label. Hey… it was good and I didn’t get a headache. So maybe I can get the antioxidants that Dr. Oz says I need.
Hubby and I happened to be in the strip mall area where Brentwood Wine & Spirits is housed and thought we’d stop in there to get another bottle.
Weird…I didn’t even want to go in really, but didn’t want to drive to our usual place either.
Enter the two pretentious, unfriendly buttholes that were working there. I told them when I walked in that I know Jack Schitt about wine but was looking for Our Daily Red or something else that didn’t have sulfites.
First snorts of derision from butthole #1 — there’s sulfites in ALL wine. sulfites don’t give you a headache. There’s more sulfites in a glass of orange juice. Hmmm… well genius, I don’t drink orange juice either.
But, I grabbed two bottles and proceeded to pay the guy.
Enter butthole #2 in his crappy Tshirt and he promised me that I just needed to take Benadryl… OR ANY ANOTHER ANTIHISTAMINE THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU DROWSY (Because you know, Benadryl never makes anyone drowsy and sure… just take some drugs with your alcohol) because it was the pollen on the grapes that gives me a headache and not sulfites. Now I’m interested in this pollen thing. I mentioned that I have no seasonal allergies. He said I wasn’t allergic to the grapes in France. and that I’m allergic to pollen from California. I wasn’t going to go down the road to explain that I got headaches from wine made outside of the Golden State too. He then told me the Our Daily Red grapes must have been washed. OK.
Yeah FatBoy… I’m guessing you didn’t learn your pharmacology or immunology at any accredited university so quit snorting and rolling your eyes at me. I’M GIVING YOU MONEY JERK, I’M A CUSTOMER. If I believe that the «No Decipherable Sulfites» on that label is what works and makes me hand you my money. Just take it without acting like a total douchebag.
My husband, during this time was looking over their bourbon inventory and said they didn’t have anything good.
This place sucks. I hope Jason S. puts it on his «Places that Suck» list by proxy.

I stopped by Brentwood Wine & Spirits recently. There were three guys at the cash register, one guy wearing a VIRGINIA sweatshirt.
So, I’m walking down the aisle, looking and looking. Meanwhile, back at the cash register, the three amigos are shooting the breeze with one another. No customers at the cash register, just the three employees.
Still, I’m walking around, looking for a specific wine. Must have spent five minutes looking for this wine.
Finally, I give up.
As I’m about to exit the store, one of the cash register dudes says to me – «Can I help you find something?»
I won’t be back.

Shopped here in the past and it was okay, but won’t in the future.
10 minutes til 10 and they were closing the doors on a Saturday night. The guy at the door basically regretted letting us in and let me know. If I hadn’t had a date with me I would have told him to shove it. When I told him I knew what I wanted his reply was «good, you have 4 minutes».
Not sure what the deal was with these guys but if I knew my employees where so quick to close and treated last second customers like a bother I’d fire, (and have), their asses.

I went into Brentwood Wine and Spirits on Friday evening, Looking around being helped my a young man who was very helpful. I noticed not being from this area very long how much higher the prices are here and i made comment of it to the young man helping me (not that the prices was going to stop me from making a purchase it was just a conversation) after i had made my selection of wine, whiskey tequilla and other items to go along with what i had. I proceeded to the register where i was meet with a boy named Darrell who was the rudest person I have met in Tennessee. He had been listening to the conversation I was having with the young man that was helping me, Darrell at that time thought it was his place to be rude about our conversation. Enough said about rude Darrell, I called and talked to the manager Russell, and he was just non caring about the situation and said hope i have a better experience with one of his competitors shopping… WOW is all I can SAY… Welcome to southern Hospitality… Oh he did appoligze about Darrell, but not in a way that would have conveinced anyone of a sincere appoligy.
