The sandwiches are somehow better than I remember every time, the staff is friendly and efficient. The store is incredibly clean and well maintained.

So tiny. Another time I got no avocado, another no bacon. Over and over they continue to not read the order. Do they get new owners???? SO tiny of a portion I am beside myself.

I arrived looking for white rum for the punch and left with artisanal mezcal, pisco and brandy. Not bottles for parties, mind you. The stuff you keep hidden and only pull out for the closest of friends or to make an important toast. This is a honey pot full of the good stuff. A cabinet of curiosities. A rare gem.

This place is great. It feels like a speak-easy without the slot in the door to open up.

God I love this space!…read more I love Nicole, the owner and mastermind of this gem. So warm and fun. The pours are generous and the selection of regional wines is superb. No pretensions. And how can you beat the fact that even the art is regional and most of the times sustainable. They have wines here that are hard to find outside of Mendocino county- wines your nutty wine friends have only heard about, but never enjoyed. This is a great place for private functions in the Summer- the exterior gardens are delightful. Fallen in love with a wine you tasted, but don't have the room in the trunk to bring it home with you? Have them ship it!

I drive by this little locally-owned market on my vending route and one day I had to see why there…read morewere so many cars and trucks parked in front of it. Inside there's a real, old-fashioned meat counter but they'll also make you one heck of a sandwich. The sandwiches are the subject of this review. Go up to the meat counter and there are slips of paper where you can specify what you'd like on your sandwich. You can detail out the meal right down to the kind of mustard you want on it, and the cheese, bread and meat selection are all terrific. There are certain days where there are hot barbecued pork sandwiches but there's something for everyone. The ladies behind the counter are always very friendly and these are the kind of sandwiches where you have to almost unhinge your jaw to get a good bite, and your mouth will thank you for the effort. The sandwiches are really, really good. Being a market, you can select all sorts of things to go with your sandwich from chips, nuts raw potatoes, etc. etc. Okay, maybe hold off on the raw potatoes but the variety of drinks and side snacks is just what you'd expect in a market. I don't understand why there's a line at any chain sandwich shop within 10 miles of this place as the friendly, English-speaking folks behind the counter make a sandwich that two normal people could easily share and be very satisfied. Even my healthy appetite is challenged by these meals on bread, not like the breadwiches those lousy chains make. The meat here looks good and, again, it's a full little market so they have all sorts of things but the sandwiches are my favorite and make me happy that it's vending machine fillin' day.

Today, for the first time ever, the owner told me I have to use a tap card to pay, instead of the ordinary insert/swipe card I've been using for years. My bank (a large regional bank) does not issue tap cards yet. So I had to put the bottles back on the shelf and drive across the street to Big John's. I know tap cards are trending but have never encountered a store that forced their customers to use them. Seems like Tip Top has hit rock bottom ... and just lost a loyal, long-time customer along the way.

If you haven't been to Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, are you even living, or are you just hydrating?…read moreThe Vibe: Industrial Liquor Chic Walking in is like entering a high-end heist movie set in a warehouse. It's Liquor Chic at its absolute zenith. The environment is an incredible, sprawling treasure hunt where every turn of a corner reveals a new liquid trophy. It's gritty, it's authentic, and it smells like ambition and oak barrels. The Selection: A Local & Global Masterclass * The Wine & Beer: They don't just carry "local" wines; they curate the very soul of Sonoma and Napa. The beer selection is a hop-heavy odyssey that makes other shops look like they're selling juice boxes. * The Bubbles: The Sparkling and Champagne section? Pure fabulousness. Whether you're celebrating a promotion or just surviving a Tuesday, they have the effervescence to match your ego. * The Hard Stuff: The Bourbon selection is a deep, amber-hued dream. The specialty liquors and Tequilas? It's a curated library of botanical brilliance and agave excellence. If it's rare, it's here. If it's legendary, it's probably on the end-cap. The Human Element The staff here aren't just "employees." They are Liquid Scholars. These wizards possess a level of knowledge that borders on the supernatural. Ask them about a remote vineyard in the Russian River Valley or the mash bill of an obscure rye, and they'll give you a dissertation with a smile. The Merch And just when you think you've seen it all--the T-shirts. Yes, you can literally wear the brand. Nothing says "I have impeccable taste and a well-stocked cellar" like a Bottle Barn tee. Final Verdict: 11/10. I came for a bottle of Zin and left with a trunk full of treasures, a new appreciation for French bubbles, and a shirt that makes me look like a local legend. Bottle Barn isn't a store; it's a lifestyle.
