Jack was awesome in helping me track down some specific beers I was looking for.

Small but well stocked and easy access from anywhere in Iowa City.

The manager here is a connoisseur of finer beverages and the place shows it. Upon entering you're greeted by plenty of wine. Highfaluntin bottles to three buck chuck and all things in between. To the back right is an amazing selection of larger bottles of microbrews that range from light to dark, to fruity to holly. Second only to Jon's and a couple spots in Seattle in variety and with a taste for any palate. To the left in the back are the six packs that again range from known to mysterious. The management is making a concerted effort to rotate the selection and seriously, it's rad. They're building the Iowa microbrew selection and have a great variety of regional and beyond brews. Best part is they'll often sell them individually. Liquor selection is good, however, the best part is that the manager will take requests. He's got some great connections and scores some tough regional favorites. Overall, I've been very impressed with the selection and service. A close second to Jon's and on par with Barzini's. Well played Hyvee!

Plus I have kids, that I am attempting to 'school' in some fashion during this who pandemic thing. I knew I lacked patience as a human... I now know with absolute certainty I do as a teacher, too. And before you ask-- while I do not believe it is drinking alone when your kids are there-- this is for afterwards. Call it a reward for a job well done? Or perhaps a beverage to wash away the stresses of the day.) I started to explore my potential zero contact options in the area. I realllllly wanted to order online and drive on over to have it loaded in my vehicle. I tend to linger when buying adult beverages and don't make up my mind in a timely manner. There are just SO many options, ya know?! I thought I'd end up using my local grocery store for this beer... margarita... rum... liquid sanity run. But alas, Bootleggin Barzini's allows you to order online! Right on. #supportsmallbusinesses Well, their selection is superb. (I knew that already though, having frequented this biz at least a dozen times before-- pre-pandemic.) But what surprised me is while a lot of their inventory was OBVIOUSLY not online, they had a lot of local craft beers and not so local craft beers ready for purchase. (Even some Big Grove ones I didn't even know were a thing.) I filled my cart. Had the option to pay in person or online. (Hello. Zero contact.) And then the option of picking up anytime between 11-10P. I selected my time. Showed up then. A co-owner was waiting outside the door for me... loaded my liquid rewards in my SUV and away I went. I think their pricing is always a bit high but that being said, whether it is offering carryout booze or having a supremely knowledgeable staff member talking beer with you-- the service is high at Bootleggin Barzini's. Always. They also have adult beverages that you can't find elsewhere in the area... so take that into account for the extra couple of dollars per six pack. I know I'll be back.

Most are dark, cramped, shady places with sticky floors that one tries to get in and out of as quickly as possible. With little time to look around, your normal trip to a liquor store is a five minute ordeal. Liberty view wine and spirits is the exact opposite. It is bright, open, inviting. The selection is overwhelming and I found myself having a hard time believing I'd already been in there 30 minutes simply looking around at all the different beers. I can't even imagine how long I would have been in there had I strolled through the numerous isles of wine and liquor. I can also tell you that the owner is incredibly nice. Even though it had been years since I had been in her gas station on the corner of 965, she immediately recognized me and made me feel welcome. I look forward to stopping by here each week to pick up something new from their incredible selection.

I went into Johncy's with low expectations, anticipating an array of slim Jim's, beast light and many items I normally find in my grocers freezer, but came out a better man having learned the joys that lied within! I discovered that Johncy's was not simply a crappy store with a hilarious name, but rather a promised land of potations fit for a king or working class hero, which ever showed up first! Enough with the thesaurus.com words - fact is, the selection of solid microbrewery beers here is excellent. A step down from John's (seriously who isn't), but on par with any other place in town, if not even half a step up given the excellent variety for purchase. It was a lot like looking at the menu at Reds on any given night, but where the bottles were at your beck and call rather than only spoken to through a waiter. We didn't venture far from the beer aisles, but the wine and liquor selection seemed fine. Prices were very reasonable for the quality stuff you're buying and with a selection that's ever revolving, you've got plenty to choose from. Great place to grab brews for the game or brews to impress the boss!

Once they noticed we were there, we said it was our first time, so we just read the menu and did a wine tasting with cheese for $14. The lady said okay, sit wherever. We sat in the back of the tasting room, there was no-one else in the place, she brought the wine and cheese to the table and left. No explanation, no entry into their wines, nothing. First off the glasses were thick, like used for beer tasting? no ability to see the legs on the wine. But what was I thinking? I had my doubts just given the names of the wines... Ember wine? Dandelion wine? Marquette rose? I proceeded to start with the ember - a red-ish wine... not full body, lacked depth. The rose, had an after finish of water that just ran off my tongue, a good rose has a crisp refreshing taste with balanced acidity and fruit notes... this was horrible. Next up the dandelion? I'm only to assume it's supposed to be like a chard, but honestly I left it on the table. Should it be warm like a mead? Confusing. I'm from the PNW and we are known for exceptional 90+point wines and family estates, so I know wines, and whatever I drank today, was not it. On my way out, other folks entered and were at the check in and the staff was more than willing to walk them through selections of wines for tastings. Wish I had that!

I wish we would have gone here first instead of the winery next door because their was a night and day difference in experience.
