Total Wine & More

This place is like a supermarket for alcoholics! Always use caution in the parking lot, because, well, you never know if the other guy in the F-​150 with the fish stickers parked next to you has poor judgment. You know what I’m saying. Anyway, there’s always a resident wine-​o… I meant «wine expert» who is always quite helpful with tastings and recommendations for the perfect wine or cheaper alternatives. Prices are comparable to Publix, Walmart, and ABC stores. The selection is where Total Wine shines. It’s nuts how much inventory is in this store! Everything from high end scotch to Thunderbird, and more. If you’re a microbrew nut, you’ll be pleased too. We’re talking 2 aisles of beer close to the length of a football field long. TW also offers a wide variety of classes and tastings several times a month. The schedule is on their website. Basically, this joint is epic. No hard sells, great descriptions on all the wines, ratings, and they’ll even help box your order at checkout to keep your bottles safe. Plenty of accessories too, including glassware and garnishments. It’s a one-​stop party shop for sure. Check it out — you’ll be pleased.

Selection is impressive. They must carry every bad tasting crummy microbrew from here to Poughkeepsie. Hipsters rejoice! Their wines are especially varied, from all corners of the earth, always with a helpful soul to guide you in the right direction for a special vintage or a comparable bargain. Liquors are fairly priced too, although there never seems to be enough Svedka Iced Tea vodka, but whatever. We took a class on Wine Tasting that was silly. It was hosted by a gentleman who opened his dialogue, no lie, with the line «I drank a lot of wine.» There was a poorly produced PowerPoint and even worse handouts, and our tickets were never checked. We could have walked in for free. Otherwise, this place is an alcoholic’s paradise.

This place is pure genius. I really can’t add more insight than the multitudes of others already have.
But, as I couldn’t stand this review be useless, I will add a few complaints. From time to time I find myself with questions and barely an employee in the isles to entertain them. If you are buying Cigars from the locked glass case, you may find yourself hunting down an employee as the signal from the call button on the case isn’t always answered.

You want wine? This is the place to go!
You want spirits? This is the place to go!
You want beer? This is the place to go!
In short this place has the best selection for shopping for your alcoholic becerages. The staff is always helpful, and knowledgeable. I believe that their prices are hard to beat by anyone, and their selection is unmatched anywhere in the area.
As «The Arnold» would say, «I’ll be back!»

How can you not give 5 stars to a place with, what is it? 8,000 labels? Staggering. But I give TW 5 stars for much more besides selection, knowledge, and experience…
I work in a heavily wine-​related business in Italy, and have come to know many winemakers. The United States is an extremely difficult market to break into, because each state has different laws regarding the importing of wine, even between states.
Because of this, only the massive multi-​million bottle per year producers are normally able to enter the US on a nation-​wide scale. The mid-​sized producers are usually able to get distribution in several states, having their wine found only in a few select stores or restaurants. The smaller artisan producers have no hope of making it into the US.
Total Wine has enabled many of those mid-​sized producers to get into distribution on a national scale in the US.
So what does that mean to us as consumers? Thanks to Total Wine, we have access to MANY wines we would not otherwise have access to. Better still, they are often much better than the big names we see elsewhere. So major thumbs up to TW for expanding as they have, especially here to Viera.
My tip for anyone reading this while in Total Wine:
As you are browsing the wines offered here, it is easy to get caught up in wine ratings. You know, This wine got a 96 in Wine Spectator, so it must be good. Keep in mind that very few wines are reviewed. So the lack of a point rating means nothing. You may buy that Brunello for $ 90 with a high rating, and skip the one next to it for half the price because it has no rating… but it may very well be far superior. And in some cases it may even be the same wine with a different label!

As someone from a state without a Total Wine, I am now very jealous that I know this type of establishment exists.
Unbelievable selection of small batch bourbon, craft beer, wine, and anything else that helps get you going. It’s like Disney World for the drinkin’ folk.
Amazing!

Wow! GREAT selection of wines and liquor! I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the service because they were really REALLY busy but every person that walked in was immediately greeted and every time we went to a new section of the store, someone was there asking if we needed help finding anything. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Just a nice bottle of something to entertain guests with after dinner. I asked the associate who was trying to help me choose and I said «Well you know I like red and I like it a little sweet. What do YOU think I should get?» And without hesitating he lead me over to the staff suggestions aisle and showed me exactly what he would get. I decided to trust his judgement. GOOD CALL! Their staff is extremely friendly, wine/​alcohol savvy, and the prices are GREAT. I am sad to tell Amir at my local liquor mart that I have found a new favorite store. (And you’re cheaper!!) :) I HIGHLY suggest checking this place out for backyard BBQ parties, gifts for christmas, or if you just turned 21 and want to see where the grown ups shop! :))

I was in town for the weekend and saw the new store. Went back to the place I was staying and did an internet order for a particular wine for my wife. I went to pick it up the next morning and was blown away by the size and selection of this total wine compared to ours in VA. I started looking around and talking with the Manager James… the next thing I know I had a case of mixed bottles in my cart. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would ask about some of the ones I liked and he would show them to me but also tell me about similar wines that were equal or better for less money! I just have to figure out how to ship the leftovers home and am definitely coming back next time. Thanks James :)

They have almost everything from everywhere & the workers know their alcohol!
If you are looking for a certain beverage that is hard to find, then you’ve come to the right place!

Great selection of everything.
They will occasionally have tastings or classes; I recommend signing up for their emails to find out when they hold them and to get their coupons.
I’ve had nothing but pleasant interactions with the majority of employees here. You can tell which ones know their stuff and those are the ones I generally stalk down for advice. Overall, good place that I frequent often.
