“A perfect store. Jordan is without a doubt the single greatest manager that has ever walked the Earth. I can say truthfully and without embellishment that I personally witnessed the clouds part and a heavenly corpuscular ray illuminated Jordan's face as he was performing inventory one morning. The breadth and scope of his viticultural erudition defies belief but this walking, talking encyclopedia really does know anything you could possibly want to know about the trappings of fermented grape products. As a veteran of the American microbrewery boom, Jordan's musings on the Cambrian explosion of beer styles can border on tendentious, but only a fool would deny his mastery of zythology, the evidence of which is his Michelin-star artesanal brewery that he operates out of his home cellar. His careful curation of fine spirits makes him my go-to cognoscente when I buy premium scotches for my peepaw, who has just turned 170 years old this past weekend. Jordan actually surprised my peepaw for his birthday by jumping out of the Scotch bottle when he opened it, a feat the mechanics of which I have not yet figured out, but the point isn't that he makes David Blaine look like a strip-mall magician, but rather that the depth of his compassion for all humanity is second only to the Lord and King of Heaven, Jesus Christ. I would be remiss to not include that he is likely to become the godfather of my children, whenever I end up having children, but I also haven't asked him yet, because I'm shy.”
“Parking spaces are available. Delicious hot and cold dishes, salads and desserts to choose from. All dishes are weighed and paid for. The vegetarian curry was very tasty. Great selection of cookies, muffins and soft drinks. Seating is available outside.”
“Greatest Staff Awesome Food & A Great Grocery Store To Shop At Overall The Ambience & Atmosphere Is Over The Top The Coolest Place To ? Stop & Shop In Marin County Bar None And A Fantastic Place To Meet Up With Your Family Or Friends Go & See For Yourself Truly”
“Zee's deli wine and spirits definitely has the best sandwiches within a 100 miles! They also have an amazing selection of new amazing beverages such as Big Sipz Merica!”
“Stumbled upon this place when visiting Ghirardelli square and glad I peaked in. I see they have a lot of wine, but was surprised they have craft beer mostly from Armistice but they are great. The staff is quite friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.”

“The course is in Ghirardelli square and quite fun with alot of scenic spots from around the city as the hole design. Parking can be iffy but if you park in garage they do offer discount if you play. We also got some snacks, the fries and tater tots were cooked perfectly and a beer while we played was a nice way to wash it down before we headed over to Ghirardelli for ice cream. Definitely recommend checking it out if you like mini golf”
“I've been coming here since I was a little kid. Sometimes the owners change or the people behind the counter change. It's always a nice experience though, not sure what it is but people always seem happy in the store whether it's the customers or the people working there. The Indian food is really good, its very homestyle not super heavy with cream or ghee.”
“Friendly staff that knows your name. I’ve known Amman for 20 years. They always let you keep the change.
On the other hand, questionable clientele”
“Loved this pace was in town & wanted to pick up food quick to take down to the beach. A google search brought me here, and was pleasantly surprised. Boozy ‘goodie bags’ that I’ve never seen elsewhere. Got a spiked Arizona, a bag of spicy funions, a GT3 sandwich on Dutch crunch and it was the bomb!!! Will come back in the future!!!”
“This liquor store is a market with lots of variety. It has a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages like juice. It's a fun place to explore and see what they have just in case you don't want to go to the grocery.”
“Good neighborhood liquor store. Not everything but good alternatives.large cold beer section and some convenience food like milk. Surprisingly the beer price was less than Safeway. Go there for quick in and out and easy parking at front door.”
“Fabulous store here in Corte Madera such a great selection on Californian Chardonnays & Champagne… & Magnums, for your special event wonderful tasting bar too!!”
“Great small grocery stores. It has more products & a greater variety than one expect. The service people are always helpful & pleasant. Fresh produce & meat.”
“To completely honest, Souvenir was the highlight of our visit to San Anselmo. This wine and vinyl shop is both aesthetically pleasing with the substance to match. Love the book selection in the back. The owner was super kind and helped us select a bottle to gift. Highly, highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area.”

“So glad to have the venerable Kermit Lynch represented on this side of the bay—where good wine in a retail setting is, for whatever reason, difficult to come by. At this point there’s a more limited selection than at the Berkeley HQ, but hopefully over time they’ll fill it out a bit more.”
“It’s a good store I would say. Sometimes it doesn’t have the things I want, but the next day they always have it ready. They’re my friends too! I’m friends with the boss as well. They have a cute 11 year old kid too!”

“Amazing alcohol selection and incredibly fast, friendly, and polite staff. Their beer and canned cocktail selection is the best I've found in the area. Good amount of parking. The place can get very busy around when people get off work. But even at its peak rush I've never had to wait long. Always clean, organized, and well maintained.”
“Have to say, I agree with Abraham below! These gentlemen were exceptionally helpful with a delivery I needed—and I'll say several other stores declined (Blackwell's included). The package arrived carefully packed for cross-country delivery within a two week window. These days it feels better than ever to be treated with respect and to bet met halfway with reasonable requests. I'm not from the area, but I can certainly suggest this shop for its wonderful customer service and selection. Enjoy!”

“Stopped in to imbibe in some frosty beverages to enjoy down at the aquatic center after a long day walking the city. The sign for Irish coffee caught our eyes, because who doesn’t like a good Irish coffee? Dude working that day was super chill and hooked us up with some great coffee. Was all around a nice guy and our 20 minutes in there shooting the breeze and joking around was a nice ending to our day. Got a couple snacks as well and on our way we went. Had so many laughs we forgot about the frosty beverages a few steps out, so we went back in and picked out our favorites out of a great selection of beers. Good market with a wide selection and friendly staff.”
“Excellent selection of a great Scotch at reasonable prices. Totally unlike the pirate re-sellers. Ok, it's a wine place, but it's my to-go spot for hard to find Scotch. I just ordered online and got it delivered. Yea, I'm in Costa Mesa, home of one of the better liquor stores in the country (and I don't mean Total Wine and More). This place has Scotch they never carry. Cheers.”

“It's amazing that they have added delivery during covid. Lots of wine, craft beer, spirit collections and a lot more. Stop by and check it out . Friendly staff and super clear store, never runs out of propane tanks.”
“While not quite the nirvana as the name suggests, Paradise Wine & Spirits can be a wonderful oasis for your boozy needs. You'll find them in East Corte Madera in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it location (a hop/skip/and jump away from Nugget Market). This liquor store's been a Marin County staple for years. I remember trying to buy beer here with my fake ID in high school over 20 years ago (spoiler alert: it didn't work). This place ain't fancy by any means. You'll pretty much find beer, spirits, candy, snacks, and some random canned food & cleaning products. It's not exactly what I think about when I hear the word "Paradise," but this place always has what you need when you're in a jam, so in a way, I could argue that's quite heavenly. Long review short, this is a solid liquor/convenient store option when you're in Marin. They have plenty of free parking in the front. And I gotta give them props for adhering to all the proper Covid-19 safety guidelines (masks, gloves, and a glass partition between the customer and cashier).”
“Classic Liquor store, with all the items you would expect and then some! The staff can answer almost any questions you may have about services and products. Overall it's a Convenient neighborhood store!”

“Quick and efficient, very friendly and welcoming (customer service on point ) got a carnitas tostada and chile verde tamal and the taste is so enticing and delicious .”
“Very cute store first off! My mom and I love cost plus world market and when ever we travel we always check them out! This one had a lot of good items and we ended up spending over $300 however the customer service from our check out girl was not kind at all. Pia was very rude and spoke to us very bluntly and disrespectful tone. She also over charged my mom charging her for something twice and when she ask my mom if she wanted a bag she just said “do you want a bag” and not a kind way, like you should when you are in customer service. When she was bagging my items she was just throwing them in the bag. I had candles and fragile items and she was very rough with them. Other than that the store was great!”
