Benz Beverage Depot offers a great selection of wine, beer, and spirits, including local, Iowa, national, and international offerings. The store has a spacious cooler and stocks carefully selected liquor, including bespoke barrel items. The team is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and phenomenally assistive, encouraging customers to get the tastiest option rather than the most expensive. They provide free tastings every month or so and are happy to offer tastes of selected bottles. The owners are great, and the location is great. Customers highly recommend it as a great stop to learn more about a variety of beverages and find something they will like.
Gluten free selection was good, beer i got was bitter. If they could find a beer as smooth as redbridge it would be perfect!!

Nice enough selection for Iowa but not a store or state to get some really cool spirits from outside the United States especially south America. Decent cigar collection at this location.

Good wine selection. I mentioned i knew nothing about it and I got a free lesson about the tannins that control the taste with a mini tasting. Amazing.
