Been stopping in for a couple years now as I've lived right in the north loop. I just popped in to pick up a few bottles of wine and the owner (she self identified) overheard a conversation I was having and decided to involve herself with typical fox news talking points of "the illegals are taking the healthcare" and "rampant fraud needs to be managed." Truly a disappointment as I loved their offerings but I, and you, shouldn't support racism, bigotry and ignorance. There are other stores locally to shop. I feel bad for the employees who are just trying to make a living and you can bet they're all subject to her disgusting view. Oh well Edit: it appears the owner would like to flavor her subtle racism as simply being yelled at. The employee working the counter and I were talking about imperial porters/stouts and surly came up. We were talking about them when you interjected. It's fine if you want to blame healthcare cost woes on "the illegals" as you put it but it's telling of how you approach others. Also, I'm 41 and Mexican but it makes sense you'd judge based on appearance.

We love this place. The staff is super helpful and know their stuff. Great classes, wine tasting, they have parking. Even better great value.

Excellent selection of spirits, wine and beer! Service is always great and they often do sampling in store so you can try before you buy. Their expansion within the last 1-2 years really elevated the experience! Only thing is that it can be a little pricey on the wine side but they have plenty of price points available and only deliver high quality wines.

Ugh, So I came here during my lunch break because it was close to work and I wanted to get a nice peaty/smokey scotch for after a long day when I got off... An older gentleman asked if I needed help and I informed him I was looking for the scotch aisle, he politely told me around this corner and a fellow associate (forget his name) could help me. I let said associate know what I was looking for in flavor and notes of the scotch and I had a particular I was hoping they had Smoke Season by Benriach, they didn't have it but I was shown another scotch a little more expensive he recommended. I decided to give it a go and buy the recommendation of said associate. 84 dollars later while walking out I hear the older gentleman ask the man who helped me "how did that go?" In a very snide condescending way....I get it, I'm a white blue collar tattooed man buying scotch who had a particular taste in mind. I was in no way rude,or impolite or otherwise and even took the recommendation of the associate. I couldn't imagine treating a customer like this in any business. The tone in that older guys voice...ugh. Though the recommendation was a nice one and I'm enjoying a glass at the moment, I think I'll wait till day after payday to go somewhere else to buy as I don't appreciate snide condescending remarks about me behind my back or otherwise.For the love of God, wait till im out the door. The younger gentleman who helped me deserves a raise just for being stuck on shift with that kind of toxic human being. 3 stars for the associate that helped me with a good peaty scotch recommendation.
