Total Wine is the equivalent of Disney World for Teachers and Nurses.

Me and my wife (no pics) agreed that Total Wine was an adult version of Toys ‘R Us when we first visited.

Of course. Magical. Spoke to Cora for about 30 minutes yesterday. They have held steady through this, kept everyone employed.

I say the same thing but I just say booze to cover all the bases. I also substitute “crappy” for “shite”.

Life is too short to drink crappy booze. I’m wit ya!

Went once. Spent over $900. However, I’m stocked up for a long time. I’ve got one of those under the counter wine refrigerators. You talk about a magical place? It holds more wine than Mary Poppins’ carpet bag could.

I go to the Mandeville location once a week, sometimes twice, and it's never a shitshow. What location did you visit?

Aren't they planning on building a Total Wine here in BR right next to Vagrant Central on Seigen?

Overture
Silver Oak
Caymus
Pierre Champagne

Goes quick.......but that was for a special occasion.
