| - aisles & aisles of wine? check.
decent selection of craft and seasonal beers? check.
free wine tastings? check.
helpful employees? check.
special orders at no extra charge? check.
darn low prices? double check.
yes, it's missing the insane liquor selection tw&m gets to have in other states, but thats NC for you. (and the abc is right around the corner.) I never get through the store without at least one person asking if I need help, they can usually special order anything they don't have in store (if it's still available by the distributors, hardly anything out of season) at no extra charge, and you really cannot beat their prices.
I haven't sat through any of their wine or beer education classes, but I've heard good things about them, and the prices are usually pretty low to enroll. as for the beer selection, its pretty big. seasonal 6 packs are scattered throughout the store (and i've had some employees tell me they don't sell seasonal beers as singles, but they do. i'm pretty sure they just don't like to unless they've separated the pack themselves.) then there is a huge set of shelves divided between domestic/craft and imports singles, and then a long aisle of 6packs and cases, also separated my domestic and imports (and a lot of brewer mixed/sampler cases). they've upped their 750 bottle selection and craft selection in general over the past 6 months or so, it's rather impressive. you can also pick up growlers and assorted sizes of kegs.
As for the wine, it's expansive and they most likely have what you're looking for in stock. (& also a good selection at each price point.)
they are starting to increase the rate they send out coupons, so i'd definitely sign up for their email list.
