“I went to buy some champagne to celebrate my anniversary. The most lovely person working there helped me pick the BEST picnic goodies for a 10/10 celebration! I will be going back to try all their cheese, crackers, wine (of course), and accessories! Can’t speak higher about their service and help. Thank you Wine Gallery 108!”
“Very nice, relaxing atmosphere. The staff was knowledgeable of the selection of wines, and the restaurant attached was quaint and intimate. Great place to go for date night or a night on the town.”
“Even though it's hard to get to from my house due to the layout of Route 1, I make the extra effort to strictly shop at the Department of Beer and Wine. The store is meticulously clean, well organized and carefully curated. The staff are incredibly helpful and offer great recommendations and have outstanding customer service and knowledge of the products they stop. They have growlers you can fill with beers on tap and a wine and beer of the month subscription service that I did for several years, based on the government pay scale system, which was clever for the area. They have great snacks, gifts and non-alcoholic drinks. In fact, my favorite NA tea is based on a recommendation from this store. It's very family and neighborhood friendly and they support a local artisan bread maker and other small businesses. Please support this amazing wine and beer shop!”
“Legit ABC store!Walked in, was greeted quickly, and bounced ideas off the staffer. Ended up with a glorious bottle, and threw it in my bag like a hobo. Credit accepted. Easy parking, though not a lot. There's more parking at the shopping center next door.”
“When I signed up for a wine tasting at Total Wine to find options for my wedding, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew they often had free samples at the store, and so I imagined the experience would be similar. I brought a friend with me to help get a balanced perspective, and we both were blown away by how professional, thorough, and fun the tasting was. It felt like we were at a winery except we got to try more wines, and the choices were based on our preferences. Toby, the staff member who helped us, did an incredible job helping me to find wines that tasted great and fit my budget. My guests enjoyed the wines too, especially one of the reds that was one I would never have tried if he hadn’t suggested it (Anastasia 9). The prices were reasonable and I ended up buying all of the beer and hard cider for the wedding at this location as well. I would definitely recommend you check it out if you are planning a wedding reception or similar large event.”
“I can only speak to the craft beer portion. But because they're part of the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, they receive some truly rare beers that not even the best beer shops can get their hands on! Prices are fair. Staff is very knowledgeable.Recommendation is to open up more of their selection to both The Front Porch and Evening Star Cafe”
“They are also quick to greet you when you walk in the door! Very friendly staff that are always able to help with reccommendations or just to talk while checking out. Always clean and well lit. Great selection as well. Anything you may be looking for to make drinks will be there!”
“I don’t know a lot about wine but wanted to bring something to a party that would make it seem like I did. :)The staff was SO friendly and knowledgeable and walked me through many unique options at all price ranges.I’ve been other places that look down on you if you don’t speak “wine language” My experience at Unwined was completely opposite of that! I got the best recommendations really enjoyed my shopping experience there.I felt confident about the selections I brought to the party and also picked up some fantastic craft beers and some gourmet foods to try.I will definitely be back! This is a great place to run into if you need to grab a gift for someone as well.”
“Nice lil corner ABC outside of Old Town. Especially convenient when leaving work on a Sunday and need to make it by 6. Lol they are always in good spirits, no pun intended, even in the last 5 minutes of a short work day. Thank you staff!”
“For people looking for whiskey they are have good selection but hard to find bottles are hit and miss. I got a John J Bowman single barrel for $60 after tax and it is well worth it! Not available where I am from but just sitting on the shelf here”
“It's a liquor store, whats there to say?Parking is a hassle. I always park in front of the movie theater and run across the street. I prefer to drive to Rose Hill shopping center ABC. Easy in and out. ABC is always well stocked and courteous clerks.”
“Walked in and was instantly helped by a lady stocking items, she knew exactly where the beer was I wanted.. lol almost fell in love ?. Great customer service.”
“Lots of unique beverages and samples at the World Market. I love how they thoughtfully create a holiday ambience. I noticed. Sparkling rose tea - all natural & no sugar caught my eye. I bought it immediately. They had samples of coffee & tea at the front of the store. I tasted both and found them pleasant & unique in taste. Their Halloween items of floating candles, accessories, and plates were eye catching yet not tempting enough to purchase at regular prices. Definitely a place worth checking out and trying some samples of coffee & tea.”
“Without a doubt one of the best ABCs around!! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable on the products sold. Except for that one time, but we're not going to count that against them. Always random finds (gems) and great conversations. Only wish it was closer haha, but that's just me being selfish.”
“This is my go-to wine store in Alexandria. Andy always know which wines I will like. It’s such a nicer experience than shopping in the huge stores. Love this place!”
“It's so quiet in here, felt like shopping for liq in a library lol. they had a nice clearance section, bought peppermint rumchata for $15, normally double that price. spiked egg nog for $5. they have a nice selection overall.”
“I like this grocery store! Prices and savings are excellent! I had a long shopping list that included ingredients for several recipes at my last visit and had a hard time finding everything (not too many floating employees on a Sunday), but I did manage to find everything on my list! I’m finally getting the hang of the app, self checkout and remembering to bring in my bags (not yet a habit since I’ve lived 7+ decades without needing to remember to carry in bags)!”
“Expensive. Little choice. This is because Virginia has a state monopoly on alcohol. In neighboring states [DC, Maryland] there is more choice and prices are lower (competition). Delaware has no competition, since there is no sales tax”
“Harris Teeter's food is always fresh, but what's going on with management not seeing previous employers (new people) is Harris Teeter under new management.”

“I stopped by because my wife had an eye appointment. Not a lot on the shelves. Very standard. Nice staff, and your normal selections. I wonder what they'd get during a drop”
“I had The Gathering Catering package at work last month. I normally don't care for a pinwheel, but Wegman's pinwheel with Caesar salad was delicious!!I enjoyed the nice lemony dressing with Romain lettuce. the mini croissant sandwiches had very good flavor. I am not big on finger food, but I couldn't get enough of it. I am definitely going to use them for catering from now on.”
“They always run random deals, they have free mini Mondays, and the staff is great. They are always friendly when I go. This is a great place you can run in and out, don't have any problems here.”
“I have always had a really pleasant experience shopping at this store. The staff has always been really helpful, and they have a good selection of typical and nicer, limited bottles. Mick was so welcoming and kind in-store today! He’s great!”
“As of May 4, the store is no longer 24 hours now at this point the only reason I'm continuing to say anything is because it requires at least 41 characters to post this”
“01/15/2024- It’s true, we go to Harris Teeter every weekend!!! Love it! Found all of our fresh produce , fruits, and salads!!! Yum! Good selections! Fresh items! Great service! Fair pricing!!!”
“We love this spot and so does our pup. It’s a really nice place to sit outside and enjoy a drink or a snack, and we really love the ginger cookies they usually have for dogs. The French toast and pancakes were great additions to the menu.”
“This is a huge location. There is underground parking garage. Lots of selection including hot and cold food bars. There is a place to eat inside. There is also a big floral department.”
“Very friendly service and delicious sandwiches. I love all the cool things they sell too. European chips and cookies, etc. we got the caprese sandwich and the BBQ pulled pork (I had them heat my pulled pork up because I don’t ever want that cold).”
