    I always have a really good experience at this Total Wine location. The staff is usually helpful…read moredepending on who you get, and the selection is great, especially with how much their THC beverage options keep expanding. It is a solid place to stop whether you know exactly what you want or need some guidance, since a lot of the employees are knowledgeable and willing to help. They also do tastings from time to time, which can be fun if you are there with friends. The last time I went, I needed help picking out a tequila and the worker walked me through the basics and gave me a few options. I ended up going with his recommendation and it was a big hit at the party. I also come here specifically for THC drinks since they have a huge variety. Pricing is a little high, but that seems pretty standard everywhere for this kind of stuff, so it is not surprising. I have had a couple moments where workers at the tasting stations came off a bit off putting, but that has been outweighed by the other staff who are much more engaged and helpful. If you are looking for a place with a wide selection and people who can help you choose, this is definitely worth checking out.

    I love this place. Always something new to try. Prices are fair. At times they offer test testing a…read moreproduct they have out. Polite and great customer service. Not only liquor, there are cool and unique items to buy for yourself or a gift. Always clean and well lit lighting. The only thing I regret is not having enough time to look around more. Great Job Total Wine!

As well as a nice mix of whiskey with a few harder to find bourbons from time to time. I then move to their deli where they have a nice mix of meat and cheese. There is also a small seating area around the back of the deli where you can eat and enjoy a glass of wine on location. The staff here is wonderful as they seem happy to help and are knowledgeable about the products sold.

The staff is…read morepretty knowledgeable about just about anything, and I have never been steered wrong in a recommendation when I could not make up my mind. My favorite side is the cheese/deli side. I enjoy Surdyk's, but they seem to have cut back on their product offerings, so I have been coming down here to France 44. They have a wonderfully curated selection of cheese of all varieties. You want soft cheese. If you are unsure of a cheese you might be interested in, the cheesemongers will certainly provide you with a description, and even allow you to sample before you buy. To complement your cheese, there is a nice array of cured meats, crackers, olives, etc to add to the cheese-eating experience. One thing I would add is that this establishment is not unlike shopping at Target. You enter to pick up one or two items, and you leave with much more than you intended.

    Located in the Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese is an institution,…read morestarted as a liquor and grocery store in 1934, moving to this location in 1979. Now run by third-generation owners, it expanded to retailing fine wine and cheeses as well. I stopped in to buy some house gifts, and was pleasantly surprised by its very large selection of products, displayed in a way that it was enjoyable to do some 'window shopping'. In my case, I focused on the whiskey's and found what I was hoping for (from the Nikka distillery, a place I had visited a long time ago). But surprisingly it carried American made whiskey (in this case, from the Seattle area) for a price that was lower than what I had paid when actually visiting the distillery itself. I took the time to walk around a bit, noticing that they had an entire section devoted to just German and Austria wines. (Would have been shocked to find wines from Luxembourg, which is on my list). There were also a large beer refrigerated room, as big as any I've seen at big retailers. Of course, it had the beers from the Midwest that are hard to find where I live now (Leinenkugel, Hamm's, and Zywiec). Also noticed a small display of cigars, protected behind locked glass. Ended up getting two Westland Single Malt 750ml for $56.99 each. Checkout was identical to any large liquor store chain (like a grocery store checkout with employees who do checkout and are not really knowledgeable about the products sold).

    Nice selection of just about everything. $18.95 for a box of tea bags? Keep my credit in my…read morepocket on that one. Sandwiches made from fresh product, drinks to go, no room for dining, there is the adjoining bar which has a gated entrance. Lighting low key, had to take the shades off to better see items. Prices run **** although they'll probably tell you it's high quality. It would just be individual opinion. Crowded as the few aisles are close together so we rub elbows with fellow browsers.
