“This is a Gibsonton favorite. Including hometown bar, great food and this is where my husband cashes his payroll check. This is something they offer that a lot of people don't know about. So go get your check cashed there.”
“Don’t go anywhere else!
I figured this place would have a fun selection and high prices like other boutique wine shops. It doesn’t.
It has a really amazing selection of many of my existing favorites from Napa plus a lot of great wines to discover. It has a very knowable staff with great recommendations.
Surprisingly it also has the best prices. Better than total wine, ABC, Costco, etc. some great labels, like Duckhorn, you are getting at or below wine club pricing without joining any wine clubs!
The events are fantastic too. Reasonably priced, really cool discoveries, and include catering by Pane Rustica next door.
I used to live near Napa and this finally comes close to bringing some of that experience (minus the beautiful vineyards) to Florida.
I’ve moved most of my wine buying here.
Don’t change!”
“Mitch from Winthrop Liquors was a one-man powerhouse behind the bar at our wedding! Not only did he keep everyone perfectly hydrated (bless him), but his cocktail creations were crowd favorites. He brought incredible energy, humor, and charisma—basically the bartender everyone hopes for at a party. Our guests couldn’t get enough. Mitch, you’re a legend!”
“Ventured in for the first time today and was very impressed by the selection of different options. I’m a bourbon drinker, and I sat for quite a few minutes going back and forth on what I should leave the store with.
Kent was truly an awesome guy, he certainly made sure I left there happy! I’ll be back without a doubt soon.”
“I always come here to purchase products because the staff is super helpful and kind. I bring every family member here, they love the selection and I recommend any out of towners to come here to get the best service & product. I have to give Mike C. a shout out because...today...I left my money on the counter and walked off not knowing it. Mike came out to my car and handed me the envelope I accidentally left on the counter. This experience alone will forever be one major reason I won't go anywhere else when I purchase wine, etc. - Thanks you guys!”
“Great selection and never crowded. Employees are helpful and accommodating when asking for recommendations for gift items. Glad we have a full beer and spirits store in this area.”
“Great place my son invited me to his Xmas party and the place is beautiful. Nice sound system, the catering was great. The building it self is beautiful we enjoyed our self.”
“The store was clean and I was greeted promptly. I went in for two specific items. They were both in stock. There was no wait to check out and staff was friendly.”
“A main store for us, especially the varieties of wines. We live a distance away, so we try to comparison shop locally and when we're at the base . Store is clean, well organized, and staff are very helpful.”
“The staff is super nice here, especially Jana who went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for, even checking with other stores and reaching out to her manager. She was very accommodating. This is one of those no-BS liquor stores where you don’t have to spend $1000s to be rewarded. They’re very cool and I will be back! Will probably be my go-to place from now on.”
“We recently had the pleasure of hosting a wine tasting event at our home with Tim Kelly from Time for Wine, and it was an absolute blast! Tim brought not only his expertise but also his contagious enthusiasm for wine, making the entire evening truly memorable.Tim curated a delightful selection of wines that catered to a variety of tastes among our group of 10 couples. His knowledge about each wine, from the grape varietals to the regions they hailed from, added a fascinating layer to the tasting experience.What truly set Tim apart was his ability to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. He effortlessly engaged with everyone, sharing stories and insights about the wines we were tasting, which made the event not only educational but also incredibly fun.From start to finish, Tim's professionalism and passion for wine were evident. He went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tim Kelly and Time for Wine for anyone looking to host a unique and memorable wine tasting experience. We can't wait to do it again!”

“Best prices in the hood but why do they have tip jars? I don't see any other store clerks asking for tips for literally ringing your PURCHASE up.. . Crazy that they're even allowed to have them on the counter.”
“We came in and saw the XXL wine at the front entrance on display for sampling. Since an associate wasn't there we went to the customer service desk and asked for a sample.Nick the manager happily helped us. He easily explained the flavors and answered our questions with great customer service. We actually purchased a bottle. While checking us out Corey was awesome as well and he gave us a similar recommendation to XXL that he tried and he shared his satisfaction so we went back to find his recommendation and purchased another bottle. Our shopping experience was great and these guys deserve recognition!”
“I absolutely love this store and am never going anywhere else! They always have samples and they have coupons for most of the major drinks that us normal folks get on an everyday basis!”

“JAMES spent time with me today explaining the various alcoholic offerings, various flavors, and multiple number of years required in several preparations, especially the whiskeys and bourbons. The previous day Tampa celebrated the Gasparilla pirate invasion parade and I would have expected the stock to be low, but not so. Many of the products, including rums, gins, whiskeys and bourbons were on sale.
The store offers robust array of packaged liquors and chilled beers. Several one serving bottles sat in bins by the check out, including Fireball for $1.00- $1.98, relatively bargains
Thank you JAMES for explaining many of the products, uses, and origins.
Accessible venue with accessible parking space.”
“I went looking for a specific Italian rose they carry but they were out. The nice gentleman made other recommendations and didn’t flinch when I chose the most inexpensive— which turned out to be a great rose and a new favorite! (Olema Cotes de Provence 2022)”
“Came in during that mad rush for the billion dollar lottery ticket. Instead of getting my lottery tickets in the Publix grocery I was told to go next door the their liquor store. There was no line so that meant no waiting.”
“One of the better grocery shopping experiences is when I go to Winn-Dixie! I love their app and weekly advertisements I use to know what items are on sale. The app also shows me my daily savings toward my next shop or gas savings at the pump. Last week we spent $158 at the register. The best surprise was to see that we had a $24 saving due to the apps savings that went toward our receipt,,, lowering it to $134!!!!! . Now that was true savings! Thank you for having mystery points added to my app. Our families budget appreciates it !!!!!”
“This grocery store is THE BEST in Tampa. While I want to keep this a secret, I would be doing all the folks in Tampa a huge disservice. The store is big, clean and organized. The hot bar is delish. It has a large parking lot. And, the staff is so incredibly friendly. And for those who are jewish or enjoy Kosher food, I found the Kosher section to be the biggest I've ever seen at a non-kosher supermarket. Let me circle the block on the hot bar. It's a small selection, but it's really good and they seem to change it out regularly. The fried chicken and sushi are always fresh and delish. The produce is always great. I always get sweet fruit from here and crisp veggies. Although this location is far from my house, I make the trek across town for all of my grocery shopping.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff. Rory was amazing. I was in looking for a small keg for a new dispenser. He only had one option that would work but offered to look around the area. He even gave me his card to reach out in the future.”
“Without a doubt, this store has the best specials and pricing vs. the other major liquor stores in the area. And the staff is always helpful and tries to satisfy the customer.”
“Whoever thinks they can get Blanton’s for $60 is getting ripped off somewhere. And every small liquor store has to make their money off of top shelf liquors. If anyone took the time to talk to these shop owners, they’d know that. Also, it isn’t price gouging when the distilleries are charging more because of supply issues. This hits the small business owners the hardest. One star reviews for higher prices shouldn’t even be allowed on here. Go to total wine and leave this guy alone to do business with people who appreciate the time he takes to have a decent selection and his knowledge of whiskeys.”
“Asked a couple if they were Vodka drinkers. They said, we asked them to pick out a brand for us. They gave us 3 options. Let you know if it was a good choice. Icelandic..”

“We visit Bottle Smith daily for my favorite ginger beer and my husband’s daily non-alcoholic beverage. Lol. We have a great time supporting our local Bottle Smith and we love the vibrant and professional team! Thanks Team Bottle Smith!!”
“Lueken’s has a vast selection of alcohol at prices that are much cheaper than their competitors. That is why I choose to only shop at Lueken’s for their fair prices!”
“I always find whatever I'm looking for to drink at this liquor store and the staff is always welcoming and helpful,I usually don't shop anywhere else for my liquor/drink needs and prices are fair most times ?”
“I spent way too much money here and all I got was a hangover. Them liquors will get you drunk and fast. My friends day I turned into another person and did some wild things. I'd blame the liquor but that was before I drank. After I drank, I was a blithering idiot and puked everywhere. Also, I'm pretty sure the alcohols is ruining my health, but gosh doesn't it feel good to die early as long as I have a few blurry memories of good times. That's much better than a life well lived in sobriety. Maybe I need counseling.”
“I absolutely love this place it doesn't get enough respect it has new owners and it has turned out to be the best thing to have happened to this place.His family owned and actually turns out to be a wonderful place to stop by with your children and get something hot to eat.. (they serve Cuban sandwiches and other things) under customer service is top tier but be careful how you go in there though that might give your kids free candy lol”

“So forgive me but this is the lazy man's way of shopping for a cold drink on the go not a bad idea if it's raining either so this is a frequent spot for me. One piece of advice know exactly what you want you don't actually get out of your vehicle you literally drive through it like a car wash and tell them what you're looking for. I also like that the load anything big or heavy in my vehicle while I wait. Really friendly owner here it's pretty much the only guy.”
