They can't sell liquor thanks to Virginia's communist laws that restrict liquor sales to state owned ABC stores. The selection of individual bottles/cans of beer isn't as large as some locations but it's alright.

Parking can be crazy in this shopping center since there are a ton of stores in this place: I'm not too close to this location but so I won't make a special trip to come here but I'll stop by if I'm in the area and need something.

The store is located on the second floor of the building…read more After you arrive up the staircase, the first area is a wine tasting area with some bottles of wine on display. The second room had more wine on display. The shop is nice and appears to be high end, mostly dedicated to wine. I did not compare wine prices, but my impression is that wine here is more expensive than some of the national or regional retail chains such as Costco, Total Wine, Binny's Beverage Depot, etc. They also offer cigars, beer and cheese. We did not buy anything during our visit. When we were leaving, a customer arrived to buy some wine. If we ever run out of wine we will stop here to buy wine or other items.

REAL price for the entree. Seems like they want people to think they're getting a deal when they're not.

Sign says "burrito & entrees" are $2.99 with this entree directly behind it. When you go to ring it up, it's $5.99.

Not nearly as large as Total Wine but a nice selection of craft, domestic, and international beers and most of them are refrigerated. There is a large selection of wines too but I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't comment on the variety. They have painted and added some snack selections since they first time I went in right after they opened. The worker, who I assume is the owner, has been friendly during my visits.

The man who owns it was very helpful (Nick) and it's a pretty small operation but there are enough items overall. And considering that there aren't many Greek specific markets/warehouses, bakeries, etc this is a nice place to get what you may need. Hours open to the public are pretty limited though M-F 7am to around 10am and you should call or text the day before to ensure he'll be there and not doing this rounds of delivery. To give you an idea of cost, a tin of olive oil was around $40 and price will be going down soon is what he said. I ended up getting Ion milk chocolate bars which you can get singles or boxes. We also go got a few other items like wine, rakomelo, halva, misko pasta, and papadopoulos caprice sticks. He doesn't sell frozen stuff like spanakopitas as he said there isn't much client demand for that. Other items he had in stock included coffee, water, soda, cheese, tomatoes, and more. You can park in the back and head to suite M to enter the warehouse. Also, he only takes checks or cash, no credit cards.

Last time, I learned "Total Wine and More" doesn't have the "and More" in Virginia. This time I learned this place carries only liquor. This seems to be the place to come locally if you like your bourbon, as shelves on one entire wall, and about half of the back wall, were devoted to it. The selection was decent, though a large portion of it was numerous varieties of the most popular brands. Prices were typically a buck or two above competitive for the whiskey/bourbon/scotch selections in general. I liked their rum selection too. Everything is well laid out here, and it's bright and clean, a good place to include in your liquor shopping itinerary.

I'm not happy about the Commonwealth of Virginia, having a complete monopoly over liquor sales…read more It's time for private stores, to be able to sell booze. With that being said, I really do like this location. Having a scotch Irish family, we do have some drinkers. During Christmas I'll make the pilgrimage here. They have excellent holiday sets. Am grateful for these as, they add a bit of value and kindness to gifts. Am happy they allow the "Apple Pie Moonshine " to be sold. It's called that for nostalgia purposes, but this is a tasty treat. Their prices are higher due to being a government enterprise. Yet very nice employees at this store. They have a good selection of every booze group if that term is correct. Please be responsible, and don't drink and drive.

Usually there are only one or two other customers in the store when I go in. The shelves are full and there are several different types of alcohol, even brands, and lots of things for mixing drinks (like flavored vodka for Jello Shots). Price seems fair, it is Virginia, so they don't have much control over what they charge. The one thing they don't have, gift bags!

Watch out for the staff here - I had a cashier named Frederick try to steal cash from me because he…read moreseemed to think I wasn't paying attention! I accidentally handed him a 20 and five ones instead of four ones for a bottle of vodka that came out to $23 and change (about .25). I thought I might have given him one too many and went to grab the money I had laid down on the counter to re-count it, but he snatched it up before I could pick it up again. I figured he'd just hand me back my extra dollar like cashiers always do if I had given him extra. So, he's now busy putting the money in the register and I notice that the register display is showing "CASH: $25.00. CHANGE DUE: $1.75" . "O.K." I think. "I did accidentally give him a dollar extra. He'll just give it all back to me in change.". And yet, he hands back 75 cents (or whatever it was...77, 74...) and says "here is your change! thank you come again!" and quickly motions forth the next customer (it was dead quiet in there when I walked in and this other guy was the only other person in the store). So I notice and say "Uh, hey I think you owe me another dollar" and with the most sheepish expression, in the most insincere "ya got me, let me play this off, be fake nice and get you outta here before you make a scene" type of voice (he had been somewhat curt and quiet with me until this point) he says "OH YES SIR, SORRY HERE YOU GO THANK YOU SIR!" and quickly goes straight for the dollar back out of his still-ajar register and hands it back to me before turning his head and attention back to the other customer faster than you can say "triedtopullafastone". The other customer just looks at me with this incredulous grin all while the cashier is intently looking away from me and we both just shake our heads and I walk out of there, astonished that someone would go to such lengths to steal a single dollar from me. I could have lived without the dollar, but I'm not inclined to support a franchise of the state ABC whose employees (possibly franchisees?) try to swindle customers, even out of a single dollar, which makes it seem all the more pathetic, desperate and greedy. A dishonest business to patronize. With two other Sterling locations, you're better off shopping for your beverages elsewhere.
