    A typical liquor store with a small market but with a large and solid collection of wines. I stopped in after lunch near by to pick up a few items, but when I walked in the first thing I noticed was their large collections of wines (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/farr-better-spirits-encinitas?select=nbPh3yOUqiU1150tG_b7aA#dVNVBIdME4EhV9bwj_6yVA). The had it all, great local and wines from the greater California area, wines from the South America, including some Malbecs, wines for Europe, such as Italy, Spain, France, and Germany. The liquor store had a very goof beer inventory, with an array of snacks, and energy drinks. During the colder months, they carry firewood, and they have Lotto. Service was okay, but I felt the guy at counter could of been a little friendly. When I commented on the nice collection of wine they carried, his response was, " I know we carry a lot of wine" with a touch of arrogance to his voice. I simple thank you would of been enough. Anyways, if you need to find a good bottle of wine, this place certainly is worth the stop.

    So much alcohol your sure to find something

    So much alcohol that will make your head spin! Tequilas, vodka, etc on the shelves with other alcohol in the bins, and the floor. For the high priced alcohol they have the empty boxes out however just go to the front register and they will package the bottle for you. They are fully stocked. Love the varieties. They have so much wine too with descriptions and key notes for most. They have a section for cigars at the very end of the register. On the other side of the store are chips, and other snacks. Prices are decent, it's always a treat coming here and seeing what new stuff they carry.

    Illegally charging fees for debit purchase. That's after the surly service and expensive product price. Just not worth the trouble.

    I had a fantastic customer service experience at this location. I went for a seasonal 20% off…read moreWinery Direct label sale and received unsolicited help and recommendations from Bill, who had just got done teaching a wine class and clearly knew what he was doing. Some of the product is misplaced. For example, there were Argentine Cabs in the Malbec section. But other than that, everything else seemed to be pretty organized and I was mostly able to find what I was looking for thanks to Bill. The checkout was fast and friendly, and as usual, I needed a box for all my wine purchases.

    I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet, but here I am…read more I've been going to this location since it opened and when I need any kind of alcohol I come to total wine. They definitely have a huge selection. I like using the discounts in the app as well since sometimes they aren't the cheapest. The staff is usually helpful and I enjoy happening upon the tastings they have. I have tasted quite a few things that I then purchased. I have also taken several classes at this location. I always take away new knowledge which I appreciate. The last class I took was my favorite so far. I liked most of the wines I tried whereas others not so much. I even bought a bottle of the one I liked most. The charcuterie they include is an added bonus. The sommelier teacher (Bill) is knowledgeable and answers questions happily and throughly. They offer a variety of class topics and it's very reasonably priced for a wine class.
