I did an on-line order for this wine (see attached photo of 2017 vintage). When I showed up at the…read morestore I noticed that the wine was actually a 2019 vintage. I brought this up the the staffer who went and checked the shelf and came back and told me that this was an un-vintaged wine. I was like WTF? I clearly has a vintage and I bought a 2017. He explained to me that they just sell whatever corporate sends them and that he has no control over what shows up. He was able to change it on the website almost immediately though to 2019. I needed the wine for an event the next day so I had no choice but to take the new vintage. I sent an email to both corporate and the store manager thinking that they would make some amends. The manager called me the next day and politely explained that they have no control over what shows up on the website and that they just shelve what is sent to them by corporate. In addition he explained what was meant by "un-vintaged." Evidently what that means is that they don't stock and store several vintages like they do with some wines and that because corporate doesn't always update what they've been shipped this can sometimes occur. OK, so he talked me down and I guess I was convinced that it wasn't the store's fault. But still I feel like they should have made some monetary amends for the mistake they made as a corporate entity. so, I was gong to leave it along. But today almost a week later I get an email from corporate saying: Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out to Customer Care about this. Per the information from your order 355673938, the La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2019 is indeed the correct vintage/item purchased on the order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. What the actual heck? Did they not even see my original email that VERIFIES that my order was a 2017 vintage. Sheesh, whatever so done with the corporate BS. I will not be returning to this store.

Well, when this place first opened it was hit or miss. But nowadays they seem to have things…read moredialed in. Competent staff and very wide selection of beer, wine, and spirits, and sometimes, the hard to find bottle of bourbon.

Every guy needs a go-to place or two. You know what I mean - a go-to place for getting that…read morespecial bottle, a go-to place when you need to get a special flower arrangement, a go-to place where you can hang out and chill with a couple of buddies. Vintage is my go-to place for that next out-of-the ordinary bottle of bourbon and a last minute bottle of wine when in Mill Valley. Almost every time I am in MV I swing by here to see what bourbons they have on the shelf. This is where I discovered Rowen's Creek (or was it Noah's Mill). This is where I picked up that Pappy Van Winkle 15 year at a decent price. The list goes on. The selection isn't the largest, but they always have interesting ones to choose from. Yes, they have Knob Creek and Makers and some of the other standards, but I can get those at Safeway if I want. I go here for Black Maple Hill, Willet Pot Still Reserve, Elijah Craig 18 year, or the aforementioned Pappy Van Winkle. They also have a nice good selection of wine. And the prices aren't too bad.

I can only speak from my own experience, which has been helpful and informative. The staff has…read morealways taken the time to offer thoughtful recommendations, and we've found the selection well curated and full of interesting bottles of wine, high spirits and scotch, and champagne. It's a good spot in downtown Mill Valley that we leverage for a hostess gift or something special to bring to a local dinner party. Visit here or Mill Valley Market for local night-of options to share.

This is a great place to check out if you're looking for wine. They have a pretty extensive…read morecollection; probably one of the more robust I've seen. Additionally nice is that if you're like me and you came looking for hard liquor, they have a fridge full of mixers like juice and soda handy as well.

"Marin Beverage Outlet: Where Vapes Go to Die"…read more These people are selling towell hd crap vapes , the most fake vapes I've had in Marin , will be informing others immediately, sad to see these people live fake lives like their vapes , what else are they selling that's fake ? Their liquor , everything counterfeit lol . I should've known something was off when I picked up the vape -- the packaging looked like it was printed on a toaster. No seal, weird font, crooked barcode... but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake. The flavor? Burnt popcorn mixed with battery acid. I've had campfires that tasted smoother. It hit like it had already lived nine lives before I even opened it. Tried to scan the verification code just to make sure, and surprise -- it didn't even register on the brand's website. Not "invalid," not "expired," just "this product doesn't exist." At that point, I realized neither does their integrity. And let's talk about the guys behind the counter. I'm convinced they've been "taste testing" the stock -- they looked higher than the prices on their fake Elf Bars. You know that glazed-over, "I've been hitting my own inventory since sunrise" look? Yeah, that. This place isn't a store; it's a graveyard for fake vapes and customer trust. Save your lungs, your wallet, and your brain cells. Marin Beverage Outlet is basically the Wish.com version of a smoke shop.

Great people. Great selection. Great service…read more If you're a spirits lover like me you should leave your credit card at home if you stop in to Blackwell's in San Rafael. I jest but they do have a great selection of rare and sought after whiskeys that will make you the envy of your whiskey drinking friends, when you buy them. Their selection of Irish whiskey is great with the usual suspects in addition to some gems from small producers like Killowen. And they ship...to most of America (check their website) and internationally too!

Went online to find an elusive scotch called Scapa The Orcadian. Highly recommended by a friend as an excellent gift. Couldn't find it anywhere local to Oakland...except Blackwell's (two locations - SF and San Rafael). I ordered online for curbside pickup at 11am and by noon received an email that the order would be ready for pickup at 4pm. The only glitch was I didn't have the option to choose which location to pick up at...so just made sure to give a call (after an email) and they said they'd have it at San Rafael...they're couriering over bottles from the SF location. I arrived at 3:30, called to let them know I was early, but happy to wait. No need - they had it and so I went to the front door with my mask, she came to the front door with my bottle in her mask, and boom...done. For the bonus...after crossing back over the Richmond bridge, I picked up some live crab at 99 Ranch. So all in all, an excellent outing. Wouldn't hesitate to order from them again...and look forward to when they're able to open shop again so I can peruse the aisles!
