Way better than Spec's IMO.
They are about equal IMO. Went to specs last weekend and ended up spending over $300 on bourbon and beer, none of which TW had. But TW has stuff specs doesn't. Lucky for me they are within a mile of each other.

Specs is ghetto compared to Total Wine but I like both.

One bottle of a decent year Chateau Margaux runs way past $550

I will need to know how much wine before I can decide whether to be flabbergasted. A couple of bottles? A couple of shopping carts full?

That’s what a bottle of wine costs for me so don’t see an issue here.

She really knows how to handle a magnum with her hand placement. Learning that is an art

Way north of that. Especially for a good year.

That particular one would run well into five figures. The bottle, not the woman.

Total Wine is going to be on Seigen in Baton Rouge, correct?

I went to the Knoxville one a lot before I found the better local shops.
If I am ever traveling and see one it's a must stop, they are sure to have a great selection, local items, and I don't have time to find the good local shops.

I fine specs has a better bourbon selection than total wine. And better wine selection. Especially Malbecs. But the prices are better at Total wine.

Wait... that's not his name... I do enjoy the Gascon offerings though.
