I bought the Olema Cabernet Sauvignon. I recognized the brand because I drank the Olema Chilean Red Blend at a Fogo de Chão wine tasting dinner a few years ago. Unfortunately, Total Wine Spirits & More does not sell the Red Blend, which was made exclusively for Fogo. It is so good! I am a Rewards member, so I got $5 off the Olema Cabernet Sauvignon. What a bargain! If you shop here and are not a member, please join. It is worth it.

After being a loyal customer for years, I was met with extreme disappointment when I discovered the full elimination of "Door #1" (the beer selection). The entire section of the store has been removed. No more beer, no more snacks, no more cigars, no more drinking games, no more kegs, no more of life's simple pleasures. With this dismantling, I do not foresee any type of return in the future.

I am compelled to strongly warn potential customers about this liquor store's invasive and…read moreblatantly unfair credit card policies. They demand ID for every single credit card transaction, even if your card is properly signed and the purchase is not age-restricted. Let me be absolutely clear: Visa and Mastercard explicitly ban merchants from requiring you to show ID as a mandatory condition to accept a signed credit card. Merchants may ask for ID if they suspect fraud or for age verification as required by law, but they cannot have a blanket policy of making you show your ID as a condition of completing all sales. This store flagrantly ignores these core card network rules and forces you to surrender personal information unnecessarily. On top of this, if your purchase exceeds $100, they will split the charge into multiple smaller transactions without your knowledge or consent -- an explicit violation of Visa and Mastercard policies. This practice exposes you to extra fees, complicates billing and privacy, and can disqualify you from your credit card rewards or protections. Operating in a what the perceive to be an "underprivileged" neighborhood, this store evidently believes they can get away with such disrespectful and invasive treatment. They assume customers here won't understand or challenge these unfair and illegal practices. To make matters worse, demanding IDs and splitting charges puts your sensitive credit card and driver's license data into the hands of random employees -- a serious security risk. Your personal information can be easily photographed or stolen for identity theft, without adequate merchant safeguards. This is a gross violation of card network rules, a breach of customer trust, and outright unacceptable. Avoid this store unless you want to face mandatory ID checks (show your papers), invasive data exposure, questionable transaction splits, and blatant disregard for your rights as a customer.

When I introduced my foodie friend to a world outside of Coors Light and similarly boring beers a month ago, we have visited a significant amount of distributors ranging from Brooklyn to Port Jeffetson. All in the name of finding that genre of beer that is most appealing to our tastes. These days, there is so much craft beer on the market, deciphering through all of the choices is time consuming as to seeking out particular bottles and can get expensive to the seekers. The initial welcome greeting I got from the owner of The Beer Garden was genuine, in that he laid his business and customer relations intentions out to me. Whatever we need, just ask. "I want you guys as my customers for a long time, anything you need, questions you might have, just ask" He walked us aisle by alsle, recommending some and pointing out the over bought, over hyped beers. After a few bottles were in hand, I left to enjoy the banana bread stout, double chocolate stout, Bells: Two Hearted ale. Amazing selections mixed with attentive customer service. My quest to travel from town to town looking for new options has all but ended.

Beers from around the tilty globe with pictures of historic monasteries and a sourpatch dude look alike, stuck in a TV, smoking a cigarette. I felt like I was in Moscow or Alaska, minus the highway robbery price gouging. (I hear they like to tip a few over there in Putin's Land). There's a wall with a huge number of singles to make four or six packs from and take it as far as you want to, but that kinda reckless mixing can potentially lead to an exploding morning head. But, consider the important part that going the singles route, you're less likely to be going gonna buy a sixer that tastes like pumpkin dishrag, as it's the season, that you despise but drink anyway. *Waste not, want not" Boss Hogg. Me personally, I've never met a pumpkin beer I didn't enjoy spending some time with and I try to have them all. Gosh this is sounding more like a confession than a review. So I'm going further back when a voice sounds off from behind me inquiring about assistance. My brain was ready for a new suggestion as being the lone explorer on Starship Budweiser again just was not on my drinking to do list. At the far end are taps with lotsa Finbacks, my eves locked upon the last entry of a NY cider and as with europe and here in the USSA, we do the growler thing a few centuries late, but hey. Took that thirty duce into the rig and trucked it home with my only complaint -- I should have bought three or ten, hell, I've got a refrigerator and a freezer running in my garage, but truth be told, I like to pop in and meander.
