“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).”
“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.”
“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!”
“It doesn't matter what day or what time I visited the store, the staff is always bright, friendly, polite and helpful. The young gentleman cashier today with the dreadlocks smile was so bright that it changed my attitude and mood. Always a wonderful experience at this location!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Amazing selection of every wine you could think of. We had looked up a few wines, and it told us where they were in the store, so we did not have much interaction with staff....except for the cashier who was just the sweetest person in the few minutes of checkout.”
“If you need something on your way out of Charles county, this is the last liquor store for 5 miles. Some of the prices are way more expensive than I was used to but it's clean and the staff was friendly”
“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!”
“I loveeeeeeeeeeee Sandra and Samuel , they are the bestttttttttt ....never have I gone to the abc store and employees like these two never miss saying hello and giving me such huge smiles .I have gone to many abc stores ..and over here is the besttttttttt ..Sandra and Samuel are always helping me explore different drink options and are always noticing if I am taking too long deciding so they always end up helping me decide bc everyone knows there are wayyyyy to many to choose from ..I want to thank Sandra and Samuel for being so kind and always making me feel welcomed.”
“new management has been so amazing these past two weeks. new owner has been great and customer service has been so wonderful. food has been freshly stocked and coffee has been warm and fresh every morning.”
“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”
“What a fantastic store with so many treasures. Yes it's a little chaotic with unpacked inventory and higgledipiggely shelves, but it feels like an adventure with lots of precious things to find. I'm a fan”
“The gentlemen running this store were extremely helpful and engaging. I was looking for bourbon distilled in Virginia (a gift for an out-of-state friend) and they directed me to the “Virginia” aisle. I enjoyed seeing the various spirits made in our state.”
“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!”
“Great selection of wines and beers at very reasonable prices. Look for recommendation signs. Time to time, they have wine tastings - great way to taste before buying a case or two. Plenty of great wines in the $15-50 range from all over the world. Compare prices against Wine Searcher.”

“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 organized clean store. They staff is super helpful. If you don't see it on the floor just ask them it might be in the back. Large lotto selection of scratch off tickets available also. Walk in or drive through.”

“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!”
“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.”
“Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. It says “thoughtfully curated by your neighborhood wine guy” on the window. This sums it up. They have a very unique selection of interesting and fun wines, as well as some staples. Their sake selection is impressive as well.”
“It is rare I write a review about an ABC store but Lisa went above and beyond and was very knowledgeable about so many spirits. It was great to have Lisa take her time and share details with you that you didn’t know would be so helpful. Super insightful and look forward to experiencing more specials and tastings at the Springfield location. Thanks again Lisa and Danny(I hope I’m remembering correctly).”
“Frank and David were fantastic help! These guys definitely know their jobs inside and out. This will be my go-to store from now on. Frank was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Made all the difference for my experience here.”
“Great selection of wine and spirits. I've found a few nice bottles of bourbon and rye here that I don't see often at the ABC stores. Staff is friendly and helpful.”
“Greetings! I like the selection of wines at this store. They sell a nice variety of sweet wines, which are my personal favorite. The store is clean and well stocked and questions asked are answered thoroughly.
The reason I did not give the store 5 stars, however, is due to the fact that I do believe the greetings and offer of service upon arrival could be elevated to improve the experience and make the patrons visit more informative and enjoyable without the patron having to approach the employee and ask for assistance.”
“This store has been around for years and the last owner and current owner are Fantastic. If you want great customer service and treated with respect then this is the place. Jennifer has been working there awhile with the Lee's and now the current owner and she is absolutely wonderful.”
“I ran in this location to grab something for a friend. The staff was nice and helped me find it. It’s a smaller store but had what I needed. No complaints from me”
“I have been to countless ABC stores in my lifetime, and I have never visited an ABC store and received the exemplary customer service like that I did from the Kingstowne ABC store from Amy. Amy was so amazing and the recommendations she made were EXCELLENT! I look forward to coming back and getting more recommendations from her! Thank you for being so great, Amy!”
“me and my mom will come here for what i call 'fort belvoir fridays' it is always such a good time i get excited seeing the base (the military was tough at times but i always made it through and i definitely think it improved my life one quote that has stuck with me so much is colin powell 'No matter how hungry you all are, lieutenant, you must never appear hungry. No matter how terrified you are, lieutenant, you must never look terrified. Because if you are scared, tried, hungry and cold…. they will be scared, tired, hungry and cold." i really feel for people on that one when i was in the signal corps doing morning formations) and i have a deep appreciation for the military as well to think of soldiers standing up for the country values or the fun side too being overseas living in germany or hearing of people getting korea as their duty station i have somewhat of a understanding for the lifestyle (i sympathize when i see people who look like they are hanging on to their job and where they live or think it's cool when i see the longterm personnel who adapt to that way of living pt the unit many years of commitment and even 'indoctrination' where too mil and affiliates can solve all my problems) um one thing that'll be real cool here is when we look around we'll also see other guests and i'll be reminded of like being in tradoc and getting your civilians or nco's and being stationed somewhere else it was georgia & germany mostly for me ft meade too the cashiers here have been phenomenal with their professionalism and demeanor a guy like a statue i'll definitely daydream about stuff like the hot gas station food or when i was in the barracks so this will be a pitstop i had mused about meeting people (i am pretty anchored here and thought i could be useful but then again i am a veteran and out) but heard warnings about that or also not wanting complaints for example”
