I found the staff to be impressively knowledgeable and encouraging. I got a small bottle of a beautiful, snowy sake in a frosted blue bottle, an Italian spritzer-type thing, a boxed Merlot -- never tried such a thing before! -- and a sour cherry lambic-like drink, plus smoked Gruyere for later pizza-making, lavender-herb easily spreadable goats' milk cheese, and a selection of olives, feta, pickled red and green peppers and lemon in one handy-dandy small and portable, easy-to-use box! I really lived it up with these items out on the porch at home later .... I greatly enjoyed my meal of Beet and Grilled Apricot salad with creamy cilantro dressing (substitute for vinaigrette), and candied pecans -- all so very mmm! I love beets and must get almost any beet salad that may potentially come my way -- and here, I had two to choose from! The one I got was a special so not always available. The peaches in it were hard enough that they didn't mush-n-gush all over. They were easy to pick up with a fork and bite without them splashing or sliding all oozy-goozy- all over the place, and they had the nice dark marks of grilling right on them, visibly, for proof of having been grilled! That was fun to see. My dining partner had the fish tacos and apparently, those were very good. The table service was really nice, friendly, professional, skilled, and knowledgeable. I wouldn't say the food was exactly prepared swiftly but I also wasn't paying attention so I'm not sure -- because I was too busy browsing and purchasing items in the adjoining store to notice when the food even arrived. I wasn't there, but buying my deliciousness-to-go! What a wonderful time-saver! It was not too loud when I was there, the sunlight was streaming in the rather large windows, and I had a great time looking at the nice lighting fixtures, perusing goods, speaking with staff, and of course eating my most delicious salad! All-around highly recommended on all fronts -- or at least all the ones I tried -- comprising both the dining and shopping experiences ....

Not a lot of patrons (or parking, oddly) when we stopped in at 1pm during the howling weekend winds. While the lean staff of two were friendly and attentive, the food was NOT served hot and really missed the mark. A real bummer on a cold day, when we were looking for something to get us out of the home. ORDERED: grilled chicken sandwich and the burger .. they've been good in the past, but maybe Wine & Co. has lost its way?

Let's start by acknowledging that there are not a lot of options in this part of down-county MoCo…read more Morris Miller is just across the DC line but might have a worse parking lot than this Kensington spot if that's even possible. I've read the reviews here about the staff being aloof or rude. I've found it hit or miss. If you engage, they will engage- but it's not your typical Total Wine where someone will approach you eager and wanting to help, full of recommendations and knowledge. The selection leaves much to be desired too. For a NZ Sauv lover, I'm sick of only seeing Kim and Oysterbay only. While I do not love their selection or their prices, but I do shop here because it's convenient to my home. One thing I REALLY wish they would get is a cooler. They offer NO COLD/CHILLED BEER OR WINE and that is a travesty. How hard can it be? It just sucks when I'm popping in for a quick gift or bottle of bubbly on my way to brunch- but no cold bottles. Total BS. They should at least have a quick chiller! I feel totally neutral about this place. Ive purchased a nice bourbon here and I've bought countless bottles of wine. I'll be back because it's convenient. For a neighborhood spot- it totally works.

It made my coffee taste extra tasty! The service was friendly and professional; I tipped an extra $2 but decided next time I would tip more. Yes! There will be a next time because of the blueberry scone; my Mom and I agreed it was the BEST we have ever eaten! The photo doesn't bring it justice since we ate most of it... the fresh ingredients were EVERYTHING! It's quaint inside with a couple of booths to sit at... they have quite extensive choices of wine and beer if that's your cup of tea! Me, I'm sticking to the baked goods and iced coffee! Looking forward to returning soon!

I came to the mall today specifically to get my free pretzel for national pretzel day from Auntie…read moreAnne's. There's also a Wetzel pretzel practically across from this beer and wine store. I did not partake in that because the line was way too long. That's why I decided to stop in choice Wine and beer before heading out to the parking garage. I specifically had in mind what I wanted to buy. Flying Dog Truth Unleashed IPA variety pack. I found one 12 pack left. It was $25.99, but they had a 10% off all beer sale, which saved me $2.80. I didn't know they applied a credit card surcharge of 3.00%. Is this a new thing? I would have paid in cash. Had I known they did this since I had enough money in my wallet. The two gentlemen working were super nice so that made up for it.

Worst store in Montgomery County. The woman clerk, whom I assume owns the place, is very rude,…read moreracist and prejudice. She snatches money from you, returns your change on the counter, doesn't acknowledge customers until after several attempts and just overall bad customer service. On top of that, the store isn't all that clean. There are definitely better places to shop for quality beer and wine. Oh, did I mention the prices are inflated, most of the wine bottle are covered with dust and there is a minimum dollar amount before using card transactions. She was rude to not only my friend but also me. Sad thing, we approached the counter for two separate transactions. So his encounter had nothing to do with my encounter but we both were treated poorly. This weekend was my last time visiting that store. If you want to be treated fairly and with respect, don't shop there.
