Good news. They’re opening a TOTAL WINE AND MORE store behind Miller’s Ale House. Have been going to the Orlando Total Wine to get it. Prices are below others, too. Signs are up and they are hiring. Size of Publix. Say it would take 25 years to drink a different wine from their store every day. Also have rows of craft beer and liquor.

We enjoyed Total Wine when we lived in Gainesville, but also shopped ABC, as we do here. I like being able to order on line and they bring it out to my car and load it in the rear! My sister buys the wines from Trader Joes. Rhere is one in Gainesville...not sure about Ocala.

Kindred Spirits in La Plaza Grande near Publix seems to have the lowest prices on booze. Not a huge wine or beer selection. I have heard that they supply the Country Clubs in The Villages with their liquor.

I go to Walmart. Their liquor store has good prices and variety or go to ABC liquor store

Walmart carries their own line of wine - Oak Leaf. Two bottles for $5. Wine reviews are very positive❗️

Moscato and White Zin were not as good as the Aldi wine IMHO.

Wine and beer are a personal choice. Some only want to spend a few dollars, others had climate controlled wine cellars in their homes, spend more for investing, and personal consumption. Usually buying at places that have a sommelier on staff. We do go to the Wine Room in Winter Park often, since they have close to 100 wines by the ounce to taste.

While most of our wine comes direct, Total wine has a good selection, with decent prices when buying a bottle or two.

Wow, I had to do the math. So, I can drink 100 ounces of wine for free? That's like drinking 4 bottles of wine.

So you have never been to The Wine Room. Clientele is those who want to buy moderate to high end wines, but want to make sure they will love the wine.

You purchase a card with a dollar amount. Then use the card to buy an ounce or more of close to 100 wines, give or take the week. They also have small plates to try with wine to help with your selection. Many go there to try expensive wine, that would not be possible in every day life.

Very popular with the over 500 sommeliers that are in Florida keeping up their skill levels, and getting ready for their next exam.
