I've been a fan of Total Wine for some time now but this is a "As good as it gets" review in my opinion. I've lived in both Glendale (Arrowhead), and Phoenix area and love that I've been able to find this store near my home in both cases. The selection of wine is phenomenal. I've recently found a Pinot Noir from Argentina that has turned my fiance into a red wine lover, and a Cab from Chile that I've regarded as good as some of Napa Valley's, without the heavy price tag. That's the best part, I LOVE tasting wines from around the world and Total Wine gives you that opportunity. It may appear overwhelming, walking in and seeing isle after isle however, they have made it simple to navigate thru by listing each isle or section of an isle by grape and region, and then my manager tips and favorites which I've found to be helpful.
And if your looking for a great bottle of Vodka for that occasional martini, look no further. Total Wine also has an amazing selection of spirits as well!
