Wine Store

[CraigAC]

Weather permitting, we're flying in to MCO next week on Thursday to close on our home on Friday. Is there a good wine store between the airport and TV?

Recommendations for Orlando or TV.

Thanks.

(and BTW, we're really excited)

Winter Park has a wine store with over 50 wines to taste by the oz

I have not been there, but Lakeridge Winery in Clermont may be worth a visit. Maybe another poster who has been there can post more information.

IMO, COSTCO one in orlando and an other close by. Sorry if they do not provide the level of wine you need but they hv everything we need including wine. just hope they open a store on rte 44.

ABC Store between Home Depot and Sam's Club on 441/27 has a very good wine selection.

Since you are going to be a Villager, why not buy wine from the wine store in Lake Sumter Landing. It's called Gar Vino's.

The best selection of wines at cheapest prices we've found is Total Wine and More, in Orlando. There are 2 locations - we happen to go to the one near Millenia Mall. You can google the store locations. The store is huge, and has a fantastic selection of wines at every price range. Sometime there are coupons in the paper. We get coupons via email. Its definitely worth stopping at if you're a wine lover. Of course they offer discounts if u buy cases, etc.

:wine::agree: GarVino's has a very nice selection and I always encourage people to support the local stores.

I agree on Total Wine. The selection is HUGE and they have all kinds of wine in the store. There are two in Orlando. 2712 East Colonial Drive
Colonial Plaza, Orlando, FL 32803 and 4625 Millenia Plaza Way, Millenia Plaza
Orlando, FL 32839.

Do not bother with Lakeridge Winery. It is pretty much undrinkable.

GarVino's in The Villages at Lake Sumter Landing is very tiny and has a very small selection of wine. Their weekend entertainment is usually excellent, though.

GarVino at LSL and help the local store. Though they may not have the largest selection, their selection is good enough for most wine drinkers. More traffic and I can ask them to stock more unusual wines. Need to keep that store in business for convenience sake.

I agree with buying a bottle of wine at a local store, however there are several on this site that their private stock would be 9 times over what a small shop has, when we buy wine it is buy the case and usually from the vineyard, or a shop that has stock in anything you would need on hand

GarVino's does have great entertainment. We stop there every couple of weeks or so.

GarVinos in LSL will have what you want. Great store with more than wine.

Cannot beat their selection or prices. I don't make a special trip but we plan to stop when we are Orlando. 2000 beers, 8000 wines. A toy store for adults!

I also think that Garvino's will have an excellent array of wines to choose from and I also agree that servicing our local stores will help them stay in business. At the same time, you can pick up a delicious cigar,,, I love the smell of cigars... and they have quite an assortment.

And, I also agree, the weekend entertainment is very good there. I go there on Wed nights for Karaoke, some of the best singers in the villages are there and its really crowded.

[billethkid]

and if you don't see what you want at GarVino's just ask Gary or Sandee about getting what you want. They have access to just about anything you want.

Thanks everyone -- all good advice. We'll probably stop in Orlando to look at one of the mega-stores since we'll already be down there -- but we'll also shop locally as well.

I always like to spend our money in support of the local small business and don't mind paying a little extra as long as it's within reason. I want these guys to be successful.

Just love, love Garvino's...Good people, wine, & entertainment..
So glad they are here...

If you go to Total Wine, look for the Weston Chardonnay. Excellent value and a very good semi-dry white that is wonderful with fish (especially salmon!) and chicken.
