“Visited here back in late September when we were visiting family. The folks here took great care of us. Spent time explaining each bourbon and rye. All of them were bottled in bond, which meant some powerful whiskey. Sipped the sampler of three bourbons and then the curator / bartender / guide ( not sure if any of those titles adequately describe how attentive to us they were) saw that although I liked all of them and had difficulty deciding my favorite, she gave me a different sample of the rye. Loved the spicy hit of the bnb rye. Then I headed out to the porch. What a view. Finest most relaxing afternoon I had in a while. Beautiful views and great whiskey. Took a bottle of rye home but now wish I lived close enough to get 3 more. November now and that bottle has been gone for several weeks.”

“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!!”
“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 by while travelling to grab a quick sweet treat. The bakery worker there was very polite, kind and helped us with the desserts and walked with us to show us where the utensils were. Just prior to that we had stopped by a coffee shop where the barristas made their contempt known through their facial expressions. My family will not be going there again.
But Harris teeter gained one and we will definitely be stopping by for the great selection of products and fantastic customer service.”
“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.”
“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.”
“If you like craft beer—this is the spot for you! They had a great selection of beer that is hard to get in the area, as well as local varieties.
And even if you’re not a drinker, the ice cream shop right next door makes it a great hang out spot. Beautiful views of town and the mountains off in the distance.”
“Love this super cute market and store. They have an excellent selection of quality groceries, take out items and beer selections. Parking onsite and seems they sometimes have markets outside or events. Can't wait to return.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I'll go to Dillwyn, Charlottesville and Zions before I go back to the Scottsville ABC store. The Mgr there has an attitude problem!Update 2/2/23 She's had an attitude adjustment since then, so changed ** to ****!”

“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.”
“What a delightful place! We were looking for a place to stop for a quick lunch that had character, good food and a nice vibe … well, Polly’s had all that, as well as some great local products that made perfect gifts for friends. Plus, it’s right by the highway so it’s super easy to get to. I’m very happy we found it!”
