I came here for one thing: the mozart dark chocolate liqueur! And they had it, when it was out of stock everywhere else nearby. Yes, I'm picky, and was not willing to settle for an alternative. There was plenty of parking on a Sunday night (when Costco next door was closed). The store was clean and organized, and it was easy to find what I was looking for. Plus I saw they had a wine bar where they offer tastings during certain hours... how cool! There was no line at the register, and making my purchase was quick and easy, with help from friendly staff. I'm more used to Bevmo due to convenience of location where I live in the south bay, but Total Wine & More is more my style, and this particular store in Mountain View did not disappoint this past weekend.

Top 20 pick is Cabernet from Chile.

This place is like Costco for alcohol. They have all kinds of wine, beer and liquor. They give out samples too so you can try before you buy. I've been to a few of the tasting classes before the pandemic and it was fun, informative and I learned a lot. Today I bought a red wine from Chile that they recommended in the top 20. This tasting is available on YouTube. The second bottle was the cremant. These are champagne sparkling wines that are not from champagne but are wonderful and much more affordable. They have a lot of beers too. Plenty of choices for Oktoberfest. Great store with something for everyone. They have very inexpensive to luxurious items.

Isle of Skye blended scotch whisky

I alwasy shop here and the sales rep have been super helpful. My recent experience was even better. I called and asked them to put a 200 ml blue label whisky on hold. Once I got there, I found a few more items and was ready to check out when JD stopped and asked if he could suggest a different bottle of blended scotch whisky . We had a conversation about the blend and how it was more complex in flavor. At the end, he strongly advised that if I could afford to pay $20 more, I buy the 500 ml blend since it was superior. I went with his advice. Suffice to say, he was spot on. This can be had neat, with ice or made into old fashion. Super grateful for his recommendation.

5/5 stars thanks to the attentive customer service provided by EACH AND EVERY EMPLOYEE we came across. My guy and I were in need of a few bottles and stumbled across Total Wine & More. Located conveniently right next to the plaza containing Costco, the bargains to be found in the area is more than enough reason to stop by and browse. Pick your poison when it comes to liquid courage because this place is sure to please. Yes, it can be downright overwhelming. Alcohol beverages, snacks, chasers, & whatever else you need to ensure yourself a great night can be located all under this one roof. The store is extremely clean and all aisles were fully stocked. Employees are located all around the store and they are quick to greet and ask if any assistance is needed. No need to hunt people down here!! Im a fan. Too bad this location is pretty far from home but I wouldn't hesitate to come back again if need be.

I love walking around and browsing Total Wine and More! They have the biggest selection of wines and whiskies I've ever seen in a store. I no longer go to BevMo because the selection is so much better here. The employees are very helpful and usually have tried or know someone who have tried the bottles I'm asking about. Of course, with whiskies, it's all about personal preference but it's still nice to hear a second opinion. The store is well organized with their spotlight or targeted items right when you enter. The whisky and bourbon section is huge! There are so many I have never seen or tried before. Located in the busy Mountain View Costco plaza but there's usually parking in the rows near the store.

Sorry its sideways. I recommend this wine. Very smooth and tasty.

This is my second time coming in. Both times I've been very happy with the booze I have found and purchased. Today they had some wine tasting going on. Omg let me tell you, this wine is incredible. I bought a bottle on the spot. Looks like the hubby and I might have to make a date to go wine tasting. I recommend the winery. Especially their white wine. I'm not a huge fan of red wine but I did like the red one as well. The alcohol here is reasonably priced. I've bought a few small bottles of hard liquer and the hubs is trying different beers. Definitely a place we will come to often. Will be back for more wine tasting too. Need to find different wines. I do recommend the winery that was there today.

Excellent choice

Wine tasting is appropriate. Sample before you buy is the best. Server is very knowledgeable.

Great place to pick up your wine, beer and liquor at great prices. I believe this place has the most alcohol products you can find.

Want to buy an amazing scotch for your scotch-snob friend's scotch party? Done. Looking for allspice dram, ancho pepper liquor, and a rare vermouth? Done, done, and done. Small batch liquor, beers, and bitters from local producers? Yep, loads of them. And their wine selection is spot-on. All that, and it's also the best place to walk in and walk out with your table wine or favorite cheap beer 10 minutes later. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and super friendly. The only reason to avoid this place is that it will make all other liquor stores pale in comparison.

After striking out at a new place yesterday and…read moremissing out on a Stagg Jr. at a regular place the day before, and finding myself in PA on other business, with some time to spare before going home, I hit the Yelps for a bottle shop. Palo Alto Fine Wine & Spirits on Middlefield popped up, well reviewed. I like that part of town, so I off I went. Arriving at the location the curb appeal was PA all day. Walking through the front door it was apparent that they are at the top of their game. Strolling toward a floor-to-ceiling wall of whiskey I had high hopes. Oh, to put that in perspective, their ceilings are probably 24-ish feet high. So would we need a ladder, a clever picking device or some Cirque du Soleil types, to retrieve a top-shelf selection on this particular day? Nope. It was a lot of whiskey, some if it was fine, I even like a lot of it, but for what it was it was mostly unremarkable. Scanning the rest of the store, wine seems to be their thing. I didn't shop for any, but I have a hunch there are many good ones to be had. Lately I have had a policy of buying something from every shop I set foot in. We need to take care of one another right now, all the time really, but I wasn't just going to cram a bottle of something into my last spot. So I went to Plan-B. Any good beer? Oh yes indeed. While their selection looked sparse, seriously their chillers were mostly empty shelves, there was some great stuff available. I wouldn't call myself a beer expert. I'm kind of all over the place and up for anything, but I do like stouts and sours. I ended up with two of each. They were all local-ish selections. Two from Alvarado Street in Salinas, one from Sac and another from San Carlos. Buy local when you can. Your neighbors need you more than Bezos right now. As I write this review I am sipping on Motor Oil No. 9 from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, CA. It's my first time trying it, I wasn't sure if it would work out or not, but the idea of a stout with something fruity added was intriguing. So how would I describe it? It's like somebody dumped some of their Pineapple Jarritos into a pint of Guinness, then put some heavy cream in there. In other words, awesome. Don't knock it 'till you try it. If I find it again I'll buy it. Palo Alto Fine Wine & Spirits has a lot to offer.

Being new to the bourbon world, I've been on the search for a good spot that carried a decent…read moreselection. Having explored different shops, I found this place on Instagram (Unwind Bottle Shop) and decided to check out the place. On first visit, it was a little tricky to find because they don't have a sign outside that says "Unwind Bottle Shop", just a generic food and liquor store sign. That was one negative... But despite that, I found the place, went inside and was surprised at the great selection they stocked. They carried some pretty sought after bottles which was impressive! This quickly became my go-to spot for reasonably priced whiskey as I work to expand my collection. One of the things I really like about this place is their frequent free tastings. It's a great way to explore different brands and find what I like without having to buy a whole bottle. This alone was how I learned more about what flavors I like and don't like in whiskey and burboun. In a recent tasting, they had Buffalo Trace products. I picked up a bottle of White Dog because it was a very unique flavor. I also picked up a bottle of Sagamore Rye Store pick based on a recommendation from the lady that worked there. I admit it was a blind buy, but wow I'm glad I grabbed a bottle because it was delicious! I liked it so much that I decided to sign up for their whiskey club so I can find other unique picks. Overall, I rate this place a 8.5 out of 10. The 1.5 loss is due to the challenge of finding the place on the first visit. Also, the parking situation is difficult due to the small parking lot.

Long review incoming…read more.. I've only been shopping here for about a month, but overall the experience has been excellent. One thing that was initially a little confusing is the name. The physical store operates under one name, but online they're known as Unwind Bottle Shop, where you can purchase bottles online and pick them up in-store. Once you understand the connection, it's easy -- just something to be aware of as a first-time customer. From what I understand, the store has been under new ownership for the past two or three years. After reading some older negative reviews, I'd encourage people to give it another shot. Based on my experience, it feels like things have changed and improved under the current ownership. Their VIP program is what really sets them apart. It's free to join and operates on a points system -- you purchase bottles, earn points, and unlock additional benefits as you move up tiers. The big draw is that VIP members get opportunities to purchase highly allocated bottles at MSRP. That's rare, and all shops handle their allocations their own way. Yes, it's chance-based -- you're not going to walk in and just find unicorn bottles sitting on the shelf at a decent price or slightly marked up. But that's also what makes it fair. They give customers an actual shot instead of marking everything up to secondary pricing and waiting for someone to overpay. It feels like a thoughtful compromise that supports the whiskey community rather than exploits it. The owner (family-owned operation) seems genuinely passionate about whiskey. From my conversations with him, he clearly cares about the products he brings in and about serving enthusiasts. They're able to source rare and unique bottles at MSRP or just slightly above -- which is very reasonable considering how hard these bottles are to find elsewhere. They also run their own barrel program with store picks and seem very in tune with the grain-to-glass movement and rising craft distilleries. You'll find interesting, up-and-coming producers here -- not just the standard Jack Daniel's, Buffalo Trace, or Wild Turkey lineup you can get anywhere. My only real negatives: - The shop name vs. online branding can be confusing at first. - Some of the employees behind the counter didn't seem particularly engaged. On one visit, I was next in line for a pickup and was asked to step aside while they helped several other walk-in customers. It wasn't a huge issue, but as a new customer, it didn't feel like great service. - The parking lot is very tight, and on certain nights (possibly food truck or event nights next door), it can get pretty crowded. That said, those are relatively minor compared to the overall experience. If you're serious about whiskey -- especially rare bottles, store picks, and craft distilleries -- this is a very interesting and worthwhile shop to support. I definitely recommend checking them out.
