What some people don't know about Total Wine is that they have their own brands that are as good as many top shelf items. We love Total Wine.

Would you believe I had advanced notice of the study?

Besides what else do we have to do but drink wine with dinner most nights.

We have found that the beer selections around here are very limited. Hoping it will be better when Total Wine opens. They typically have good selections.

If you think the beer selection is limited today, you should have seen it here in 2005. In addition to Bud, Busch, Miller, Coors, and Yuengling, there was Sam Adams—if you searched. There were no craft beers and no IPA’s. As time went by, ABC added new labels and Publix caught up. The older generation was reluctant to give up the beers they’d grown up with.

I like ABC.
Oh, and I agree with the guy who buys wine in a box. Classy!
Only snag is, you can’t see how much you drunk.

BTW, The Walgreens Drug store in Deaton Plaza also has a liquor store. Their selection doesn’t compare with ABC, but their prices are better than Publix Liquor, and Walmart’s Liquor stores. And I like to tell my wife, if Walgreens sells it, it must be healthy. Kidding of course, they used to sell cigarettes.

If you want help picking out wine ABC is your best place. If you know what you want anywhere is pretty much the same prices

I buy wine at ABC and the Farm Market has some good choices however when you find one you like go back a purchase it as the selection changes over time. They don’t always restock the same wines.

If some one could tell me where I can find Frogs Leap Cab in Florida I’d really appreciate it.
