Total Wine & More We’ve had nothing but positive experiences shopping at Total Wine. The selection is massive, whether you’re looking for everyday staples or something more specific or higher-end, and it’s easy to find options at just about any price point. What really stands out is the staff. Even with how large and potentially overwhelming the store can be, employees are always approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Any time we’ve had questions or needed recommendations—wine, spirits, or beer—we’ve been pointed in the right direction without feeling upsold or rushed. The store itself is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate, and checkout has always been quick and efficient. It’s become our go-to spot for hosting, gifting, or just restocking the bar. Reliable selection, fair pricing, and consistently good service—Total Wine delivers every time.

Total Wine Glendale is a straight-up treasure chest if you’re into anything from fine whiskey to weird craft beers you can’t find anywhere else. The selection is massive without being overwhelming — everything’s organized smart so you’re not wandering around like a lost pirate. Staff is actually helpful too (not that fake retail “Can I help you find anything?” nonsense). They know their stuff, especially around bourbons and limited releases. Prices are damn fair, especially compared to boutique shops. If you’re stocking up for a party, a quiet weekend, or just need to blow a paycheck on rare tequila you didn’t even know existed — this is the move. Easy five stars.

I recently attended a weekly wine tasting event that started a minute early, which was fine. However, despite having two tickets, my friend and I were not seated together. Instead, we were forced to sit in separate areas, with me at the front and my friend at the back, which didn't make sense. Fortunately, a kind stranger gave up his seat so we could be together. It was like a college-style first-come, first-served situation. To avoid this, I recommend arriving at least an hour early, especially if you're with a group or friends. Also, be aware that the event seems to attract a lot of repeat customers. The host mentioned that I was the person who didn't like anything, which was inaccurate - I simply don't care for white wines, which were the first three wines served. And, to be honest, I might not have liked any of the wines I tasted that day. Overall, it's essential to arrive early to secure seats together, and don't worry if you don't like every wine - that's the beauty of wine tasting!

We took a Wine & Cheese Pairings class with Freddy and Owen and loved it! Fair warning: the class was completely sold out and we had to book two months in advance. But it is SO worth it! We sampled about 10 wines and 8 cheeses with assorted crackers and charcuterie. Freddy is very very knowledgeable, friendly, and lively. He kept everyone engaged and excited about each pairing, and encouraged us to be honest about our tastes and find which wines and cheeses were best for us. Owen led a few of the tastings and was impressive as well; he answered everyone’s questions and seemed genuinely excited to talk about wine. Overall, we had a pleasant and fun time. It was nice to have a booklet to write down our observations and keep track of our favorites. Thanks to Freddy and Owen we came home with two amazing bottles suited to our own tastes! If you are thinking about taking a wine class, this is a great place to start, so book ASAP! (PS: this store is underground in the parking structure)

I recently visited Total Wine & More for the first time and was blown away by the selection of wine, beer, and spirits available. The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, offering recommendations. The prices were also very reasonable, and I appreciated the frequent sales and discounts offered. Overall, I highly recommend Total Wine & More to anyone looking for a wide selection of wine, beer, and spirits, with helpful staff and competitive prices. My experience was nothing short of 5 stars, and I look forward to shopping there again soon!
