They had every wine you could choose from. The lady was so nice!

It was reds, whites rosès etc . There were several rooms in the back and a spin around it was colorful and wine in every section. Beautiful art works which I believe she said it's an art gallery upstairs sometimes I'll have to recheck that. everything was neatly placed, they have Wine tastings, it's pretty cool and a chill vibe here.

I had a really good experience when I visited the Total Wine & More at Potomac Yards. I went there…read morelooking for a wine I saw on IG or TikTok (I can't remember). Of course I called first to the location closest to me. They didn't have it. But, they told me the PY location had it. When I arrived, I was able to easily find help in the form of a team member. She walked with me to make sure I found what I was looking for. I also received additional assistance and recommendations from another team member who was very helpful. He provided great information about the wine I was looking for plus some additional recommendations. Although there is a closer TW&M location, I will be returning to this one because of the positive experience. Happy sipping.

Very disappointing experience at the Total Wine in, Potomac Yard, Alexandria…read more The cashier refused my purchase because my daughter, who was shopping separately, was not immediately present to show ID. By the time my daughter came to the checkout, the situation had already escalated, and we left without buying anything. The cashier handled this poorly, and the response was rigid, dismissive, and unprofessional, and the manager did nothing to resolve the situation. This created an uncomfortable and embarrassing situation for my family, which should never happen during a simple purchase. What's most concerning is how inconsistent and unclear this policy is. If a family of adults come in together, are they required to check out together? Customers should not be forced to guess the rules at checkout or denied service based on arbitrary judgment. This experience reflects very poorly on store management and customer service.

He said the register wouldn't let him do more than one per person. Ok, let's do three transactions. He said no.

My advice is to drive over the bridge to Maryland and get whatever you like. I complained several times but it doesn't go anywhere because the store is state owned and no one cares enough to offer a Solution or explanation for the situation other than suppliers.

Reposting my Google review because there aren't very many recent reviews since UnWined's change in…read moreownership in 2025. TLDR: it's a mess and former customers are concerned. The best word I can use to describe my shopping experience at UnWined as of late is "undignified". I question whether the new owner is actually interested in curating an interesting wine and beer selection for both the novice & educated consumer or if she's just using this storefront as a personal playground with no interest in serving the customers of this established business. In the year since the new owner has taken over, I have seen full-time staff members get fired and replaced with 19 year old part-timers, I have seen the most ridiculous events being advertised that have barely anything to do with wine, and I have seen the most unprofessional behavior happening on the store floor that makes me feel like I'm walking on eggshells (e.i. the owner yelling at customers, flipping out about a broken water heater, getting upset over missing shipments). During the weekends, the entire store feels like a circus with the owner's friends peddling their mediocre goods, and shopping for wine in a relaxed way feels nearly impossible...it's hard to do anything when someone named DJ Thunder Bunny is playing her set, someone is selling you their gluten-free bread in front of the French wine section, and there's a dog adoption drive happening all at the same time. A lot of people, including myself, have just stopped shopping here because it's such an uncomfortable experience now. I hope things change, but I'm not feeling particularly optimistic since the owner has only doubled down on the cringey events. Despite all my negative feedback, I want to give a shoutout to Sparlan. He's a delight to talk to!

I got my bottle (pineapple vodka, easy to find) and headed to the register to purchase. At the register I noticed that they had an event listing for the store, events such as free alcohol, can you say win!!! The two guys that were working were really nice and even laughed when I joked about the black guy being named Bic (which wasn't his name but what I thought I heard) it reminded me of Kevin Harts movie where he chose the name Bic Mitchum. Nonetheless, this will be my go to store from now on and I will be lurking so that I can make it to some of those free events lol.
