Say there was a person so universally liked in a community that there was general consensus that someone should throw him a party. That’s where Total Wine & More comes in handy. Yes, the store is also great for quick purchases, but if you want to throw a bash so memorable it winds up in the literary annals, Total Wine & More is it – not only because they stock dozens of labels in every varietal, every spirit and every style of beer, but also because they can deliver. But note: You’ll have to go elsewhere for a bottle of Old Tennis Shoe.
