“Owner is so nice and knowledgeable, and especially friendly to our kids. Selection that is not overwhelming and favors quality to quantity. Love supporting this local business.”
“I recently visited Norm's Beer and Wine in Vienna, and I was thoroughly impressed. They have an exceptional selection of both beer and wine – truly a paradise for anyone who enjoys quality drinks. What really stood out to me was their availability of hard-to-find and limited-release beers – something you rarely see even at specialty stores.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They were more than happy to offer recommendations without any pressure, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Norm’s is a hidden gem that every beer and wine lover in Northern Virginia should check out.
Highly recommended!”
“Had to go to the lab when I was done with my daughter and I decided to have lunch they have a little cafe inside we both got steak n cheese with fries it was really tasty and we sat outside the weather was beautiful. We did go to the bar and had a drink The place was nice The service was great and would definitely visit again.”
“Chain Bridge Cellars is such a hidden gem in the area! Their free wine tastings every Friday and Saturday are one of my favorite things - they make it so easy and fun to try new wines and discover bottles I never would’ve picked up on my own. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable without ever being pushy, and they always have great recommendations at different price points.
The shop is well-organized, welcoming, and has a fantastic selection. Stopping by during a weekend tasting is the best way to figure out what you’ll actually enjoy drinking at home, and they make it super easy to grab a bottle of whatever you liked. Highly recommend for wine lovers, casual sippers, and anyone looking to explore new wines!”
“This is my favorite ABC location, and the staff are wonderful! Salyan is always super friendly and Kal always has a smile on his face. The location is also always really well stocked!”
“I came in for Thanksgiving wine shopping and had the most excellent service. I was trying to decide on wines to buy and Chris, one of the staff members, came over and offered to help. He was amazing in listening to what I needed and the price point that I was comfortable with and then efficiently guided me around the store, offering options that would pair with our food. Chris also suggested wines that would work with the store coupons, which was wonderfully helpful as well. All of the wines that Chris selected were a huge hit and they were also varietals that I would not have selected. It was such a treat to try new wines! I am so grateful for Total Wine and More - this location has been consistently providing incredible customer service for years now and I can't wait to stock up for the holidays!”
“Very multicultural! Friendly staff!!! Great selection of all types beers and wines! Great prices! Highly recommended! Right next to a Wawa, get gas and beer at the same time!”
“Like Billy Joel says
You wanna go where they remember your name.
It’s a local place whose owner has a serious passion for wine since his early 20s
involved with our community
And is knowledgeable about his product .
Why would you want to get anywhere else?”
“Always extremely friendly and helpful staff in store and bartending. Online ordering for pickup is easy. Best selection of beer around. Great wine selections. It’s the perfect place for any type of beer drinker.”

“This restaurant is quaint and filled with quirky French country decor in a cute venue outside of Occoquan, VA. I've been twice this year now, and both times it was full and lively, bordering on loud, but not what I'd call crowded or too loud to carry on conversation.
The food was excellent, with each person in our parties raving about appetizers and enjoying their entrees. Desserts are all prepared excellently but classically (this is French country style, not trying for Michelin innovation, microgastronomy, or deconstructed dishes here). I'm getting hungry again just thinking about our meals as I write this.”
“Great selection of beer and wine. Frequently, they have special deals so it's always great to shop here regularly. The staff and owner always friendly and seem to know what you are looking for. Highly recommended by John.”
“so a little birdie told me that you don't have the new BeatBox variety pack carrying the new Cherry Limeade flavor? can we get some of the new Red, White, and Blue packs in for summer parties like no other?”
“I’d been trying to arrange a cheese and wine birthday basket for our daughter and was lucky to have Jon help me. He made great suggestions for items I wouldn’t have considered and made the present special. Their wine and cheese selections are broad and everyone who works there is always helpful and nice to work with. Great place to get advice on wine and cheese selections!”

“I want to give a shout-out to Kelsey, John/Don, and Justin! They were patient and very friendly with us. Especially me as a vegan undecided on things. Appreciate you guys for your awesome customer service and laughter. Until next time!!!! On the way to the moviessss with our drinks❤️❤️❤️”
“Very good Philly cheesesteak I only started coming a couple days and the amazing customer service already remembered what I order with them going out there way to fulfill my order by them going in the back and getting pepper jack cheese. 10/10 Would Recommend”
“i had the most impressive experience at the Sterling, VA store. I needed to return a product, and I had thrown away the receipt. Laura, had such incredible patience with my situation. She tried multiple ways of locating my credit card. I led her on a wild goose chase, thinking I had bought it in the store, and as it turns out, I bought it online! She did finally find the transaction on the credit card I used. Appreciate the fact that she was determined to help me return this item. Very customer service oriented! Thank you very much Laura.”
“My spouse and I have been clients since they opened the store over twenty years ago. First, the service is excellent, even when they get exceptionally busy, they work hard to interact with each customer. Their staff are wine and beer lovers themselves, therefore they are better prepared to assist in selecting a bottle of wine. Our visits to the store are more than ducking in to buy a bottle of wine, cheese, appetizers, soup, or a gift - it’s an experience. The folks there are more like family to us. Regular visits to the tastings (Thursday Night Open Bottle; Friday Night tastings, Saturday afternoon tastings, as well as past classes, and dinners) have allowed us to meet new people, make new friends, and hear some great wine stories. It’s a social experience for us. They are also family friendly including the doggos (the regular pups know about the treats).
You won’t find a Two Buck Chuck or Boone’s Farm Country Quencher (dating myself, I know), nor do they carry wines you can find next door at Giant, etc; they do try to meet clients at their price point. If you buy at one of the tastings they offer a discount on those wines. They also feature two craft beers every Friday night.
Another bonus to us is being able to support a local family owned business.”
“Great staff and conveniently placed next to a major grocery store.
It's a twofer.
80 proof CHEAP VODKA.
The next day can be a little bit rough.”
“Vienna Wine Outlet is a cute neighborhood wine shop with niche fun speciality items (Boyland Soda, cheese and snacks) Friday night tastings are always a good time.”

“I had a great experience at Montgomery County Liquor & Wine in Downtown Rockville. I was looking for a bottle of Cynar I couldn’t find locally. A friendly staff member offered to help, he looked it up in the system, found it at the Aspen Hill location, called them for me, and gave me the address.
When I got to Aspen Hill, the woman at the register said, “I set your bottle aside — we’ve been expecting you.” That kind of thoughtful, above-and-beyond service is rare these days and really stood out.
Huge thanks to both locations — I’ll definitely be back!”
“I don't get the negative reviews...I'm from Detroit with 1am party stores every 2 miles and bullet proof glass or disgusting filth ...be glad for clean self serve ABC locations and decent closing hours to keep alcohol abuse disorders from late evening purchases”
“Very large selection of wines and spirits in a very wide price range - there are bottles under $10 ranging up to several thousands of dollars. Very entertaining just to walk through and see everything, and the floor staff was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The cashier was a touch gruff, but that’s okay.”
“Beer, cigars, wine. A good aggregation of vice products. Perfect go to for parties. Staff are helpful; just wish they had more sales and Maltese wines. And their rewards program is quite lacking. But I am a loyal patron given my need to imbibe.”

“I moved here from AACO and I am not use to the beer, wine, and liquor being in separate places. I am so accustomed to going to one store for everything. I do like this place though, it's always well stocked and clean. They are always staffed well even like the day before a holiday and they are located in a good area with plenty of parking.”
“Great little neighborhood liquor store just next to Sageway, with a great collection of wines, liquors, and beer. Wine collection is pretty good. Their beer variety could be better, though. They also have a wide variety of mixers to go with the drinks.”
“This establishment has been through a lot of changes throughout its existence and I’ve witnessed the ups and downs. The new manager J.D. has really turned this place around. It’s warm and inviting and if they don’t have what you’re looking for, he will order it for you. They are the best in the area.”

“Jason Yim, Pharmacy Manager at Harris Teeter Store 308 in Vienna, Virginia, is really knowledgeable and down to earth. He is one of the best pharmacists in the DC area. Really cares about the customers. His team is fantastic. Highly recommended.”
“Today was my first visit to this store (I usually go to Grape Escape). I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It was nothing fancy but a lovely little shop with pretty congruent prices VS other shops in the area. The attendant was extremely kind and helpful, Purchase was simple and he didn’t look at me like I was some sketchy teen buying for his younger siblings pool party (i’m in my mid 20’s) overall recommend for those looking for a quick bottle or can. Love that they sell soft drinks and snacks too! 10/10! ?”

“Convenience location with parking. They seem to reorganize and rearrange on the regular though. They dramatically reduced the wine selections in recent years, added alot of canned cocktail, really dumbing down the selection.”
“They are the only store in the DMV area (within my 40 mile radius) that carries the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that I like, ALOT! I will always stock up when I go. They also carry great reds and rosé's. AND they have fabulous tasting events.”
