| - I go to this store once a week or every 2 weeks. Usually on a Friday. Every time I go in there, at least one staff lets out a friendly "Hi" (but more often I am greeted by 3 or 4 employees as I am walking through the store) . My favorite thing to do is go directly to the wine tasting bar and try everything they have put out there. I'm impressed with the knowledge of the areas where the vineyards are grown for the wines they are letting you taste test for free. Some of them will start talking about their own, personal visits to these regions and how lovely and beautiful it was in France or Napa Valley or really, many parts of the world. If you know nothing about wine and need some advice, again, they have a VERY knowledgeable staff that is ready and willing to help you. The wine selection is HUGE. The liquor selection is quite large as well and the beer aisles have all kinds of imported beers. This store also has a walk-in humidor with a large selection of all kinds of popular cigars at all kinds of pricing from cheap to expensive.
Contrary to other postings, I have never found the staff to be unfriendly. There are times when some of them are wrapped up in a phone conversation, yes, but that is a negligible downside to the place when considering there are plenty of other staff available to help you out. And yes, I am approached by staff and asked if I need help finding anything. But, the experience at the wine bar is the best, especially if there are a lot of people milling around it and a lot of "colorful" conversations come forth! I give it a 5 star rating because it deserves it!
