“The Gray’s wine guru, Lincoln, created the most amazing holiday “advent calendar” of custom curated wines. He asked me what my budget was and listened carefully to what my family wanted to quaff over the holidays. In addition to the merry bubbly, he put together a “tasting menu” of dueling wines. Since we’ve always wanted to know the difference between a $20 and a $50 bottle, Lincoln put together a number of such pairings for us to sip and contemplate. (Pro tip—their $20 bottles are so well curated, they can compete on many levels with their higher priced brethren.) This is my go-to wine shop. Cheers!!”
“The wine selection is great. If you don’t like wine, you can grab any number of beers from the wide selection.
The real reason I wanted to post is about the charcuterie board. It is dope. This is not your Costco supply run. No shade to that, but Louis really goes the extra mile to get quality ingredients, from the locally made relishes to meats and cheeses that are really quality. If you are a veg, the olives and cheeses and relishes will get the job done. It’s awesome! The environment is fun and relaxing.”
“I was fortunate enough to win a private wine tasting at Market Street Wine. The store and wine tasting was beyond my expectations. Erin is very fun, pleasant, incredibly knowledgeable about wine, and puts together a great charcuterie board. We had a great time and will be visiting again! Highly recommend!”
“The employees at the ABC are always nice and funny. I joke with them every time I come in. The store is well organized and well stocked. Sometimes there's some interesting characters in the Kroger parking lot but just park close to the ABC instead.”
“Awesome store, even more awesome staff. This store is full of hard workers and a bunch of old hippies wasting the time and patience of the staff, but they keep up a smile and positive attitude. We went in and enjoyed a well laid out and stocked store with helpful staff. Alex at the checkout was amazing, super helpful, patient, and friendly as she got us checked out quickly and ensured we were signed up as members and got a discount and points. Working solo, she got us and others through quickly and happily with helpful tips for this and upcoming visits.”
“Stopped in after visiting a nearby store and very glad I did. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly. Interest wines at all price points. I picked took his suggestions for a Rose’ and a Chablis and they are both fantastic. Will make the trek again!”
“Good Management and Staff. As the saying goes the staff is a reflection of management and do a good job of keeping their Customers happy. Wish the other ABC store in Charlottesville was the same, Hydraulic and 29”
“David and Cardel Was amazing at their job today. They helped me find. Things that I was looking for because the store layout is much different than Holly Mead town centers.”
“Went in looking for a specific item, that the website said they had. Friendly staff member greeted me almost immediately and asked if I was looking for something specific. I told him what I wanted and he said that it was in the back and went and got it quickly. That was great, but afterwards I wondered why it was being kept in the back? Maybe they didn't have the shelf space? Doesn't matter ... was in and out in under 5 minutes. ?”
“Staff super friendly welcomed us right as we walked in. Such a variety of items and a great location if you are looking for unique gifts. Peanuts, sauces, lots of different cups and mugs, and so much more.
Plenty of parking in a shared free parking lot. Store is small and full of merchandise.”
“Great for spirits! They had a wide variety of Bourbons, Tequilas, Gin, and so on. However, the only wine or Champaign that they had was from Virginia wineries. They did have a small selection of Virginia wines, which is nice.”
“Love the store and selection overall but I don't like the prices too much. Why is their beer more expensive than anywhere else? I had to quit buying beer here when I realized I could save four dollars every time I buy a twelve pack by going somewhere else.”
“First time visiting a Virginia ABC. I was a bit disappointed in the small selection until I realized how ABCs are stocked by the state. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with a lot of information. I would definitely go back to this location.”
“Small but well stocked liquor store. The staff were friendly. We came looking for Pimm’s and the guy working there was very helpful and found out on his phone which stores in town had them. Highly recommended.”
“I had no clue where to begin to find the brand I was going to purchase. It's been 5 years since I was at an ABC. I asked the employee and he immediately knew exactly what I was looking for and as I was walking he was verbally guiding me and I went directly to it. He knew exact aisle, plus how far down it was on the aisle. Very impressive and helped me greatly!”
“This has one of the single best selections of any ABC stores in the area, with great staff and great parking. Always happy to give advise and help people find what they are looking for, or order it for them.The only one with more specialty items is on West Main, which is a little less convenient to get to, but really worth the trip if you can't find something here.”
“It was a clean and organized grocery store. I wish there were more sushi and sub sandwich selections. There was a good selection of meats, snacks, drinks, and dairy products.”
“Food Master truly has everything, from potatoes to jeans and everything in between. I can always rely on Food Master for any of my convenience store needs and I’ll be sad the day I move away from its zone of control…”

“I showed up tonight at 6:01 and they were closing up and had already begun shutting down the drawer. They were so understanding, and kind enough to reopen the register so that I could get my prescription.”
“Gorgeous views, award winning whiskey infused cocktails, affordable flights for sampling, and fantastic pricing to bring it all home. Wish we lived nearby. Really a highlight of a beautiful trip to Virginia. If you are local, you must go an enjoy!”
