They also have a point system that you can start for free so be sure to use your phone number. Now, they also have a bar right upstairs that they also own. Turns out you can use your points upstairs at their bar as well!! I haven't been to the bar yet, but I absolutely cannot wait to go because I've heard it has a really cool and chill environment. I can't recognize this place enough. Do yourself a favor and head over to Rays!

Date of visit: March 6, 2025…read more I stopped here on my way home from work as they were listed as a retailer that carried Minocqua Brewing Company products and I wanted to support their mission while thanking our wonderful dog sitters. Upon entry I was not greeted, just stared at, like I walked in naked. I looked around and found the beer located in the back and spent a good 15 minutes trying to find the Minocqua section. The beer does not seem to be organized in any particular way and I had nearly given up when I found that they carried two varieties, and only in single cans for $4.99/can. While not a beer drinker, that still seemed a bit steep to me. They also had nothing to put the cans in, so I had to gather up the four and walk up to the register. Just before I finished, an employee walked back by me, not to see if I needed any help, but probably to see why I was taking so long. He said "Hi," but didn't ask if I needed any help and the man behind the register wasn't any friendlier. Definitely don't see a need to come back here.

Some employees don't even greet you at the register. They look at you with a cold face, take your money, and watch you leave without saying a word. The last time I was here I about sarcastically told the big furry teddybear at the register to "Dont smile so much!" It was as if he was thinking of flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles as he checked me out. Not! *Borat*

Skatterbrain Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey: Skatterbrain produces a plethora of eccentrically…read moreflavored whiskeys. Information on Skatterbrain is next to non-existent, but I can tell you that my "research" revealed all of their whiskeys share one thing in common (well maybe two if you include they're all fun flavors). That commonality is they all have an animal wearing sunglasses on the bottle. In the case of the Dark Chocolate banana Whiskey, it's appropriately a gorilla. Total Wine (where I purchased it) describes it as smooth Canadian whisky blended with the flavors of dark chocolate and banana with rich, fruity, and complex qualities. I question the reliability of that though as Skatterbrain spells it as "whiskey" on their bottle, which is typical of American and Irish Whiskey, but not Canadian "Whisky". I found the chocolate flavor to be stronger than the banana, but the two make an interesting combo. I wasn't bananas about it initially, but it grew on me, making it an acquired taste. I don't know how others drink this, but I found it worked nicely in my version of a "Dirty Monkey" (recipe below). Although I found this whiskey to my liking, I still prefer my go to banana rum for this type of drink. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews Doughboy Dirty Monkey: -30-50ml Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey -5 oz milk of choice -1 tsp sugar free chocolate syrup -21g chocolate protein powder -1/4 diced large banana or 1/3 medium banana -1 tsp peanut butter -4 medium sized ice cubs -approximately 1/2 tsp xanthan gum to thicken -Blend well in a standard blender, pour and enjoy

I've been a loyal customer at Total Wine Bayshore Glendale Wisconsin for years, spending thousands…read moreof dollars on wine for parties and events. This morning I ordered wine gifts online, picked up the first order in-store, and a few hours later re-ordered a couple more bottles after confirming the second recipient drinks wine. My wife (we're a married same-sex couple) was out running errands, so I called the store and offered to provide any information needed to prove it was my order (order number, details from the morning pickup, etc.). Staff refused, citing Wisconsin state law against 'third-party' pickups. Even after I explained she is my wife, they became combative and insisted she could not pick it up unless she had the exact same last name. They offered no solutions whatsoever, no option to cancel and re-order, nothing. Their employees were no help at all. What a complete waste of time today. To top it off, the bag they gave me with my first pickup was ripped and unusable when I got home. That was the last straw. We will never shop at Total Wine again. There are plenty of liquor stores in Wisconsin that actually value their customers. Total Wine feels too big and corporate -- it's all about the dollar, not the customer. I highly recommend shopping elsewhere and supporting local businesses instead. Extremely disappointed after years of loyalty. Instead, I highly recommend shopping at local spots like Downer Avenue Wine & Spirits (great selection and friendly service on the East Side) or Otto's Wine & Spirits (multiple convenient locations with solid inventory). They've been much more helpful in the past.
