One time and employee started to search the internet for a wine I had at a restraunt that I love. She looked up the restraunt and found there wine list for me. Then I was abe to get the right wine. I will always come back to...

Now Binny's is the opposite (Best prices and okay selection) Binny's just has rock bottom prices!  There prices in comparison to other places are just dirt cheap overall.  The selection is modest not to small but not to big they carry all the major brands and have a semi-wide selection of most items you will be looking for, but if your looking to try something hard to find they may not have it.  The upside is they have a really nice website so you can check there to see if they have it and can ship it to you!  The cigar selection,  is by far the cheapest retail cigar selection I have ever seen! Which you can purchase on-line as well! They have fantastic cigars and cheap prices.  The staff is capable but not as knowledgeable as Sam's wine they know there stuff at Binny's...

The staff seems to be very knowledgeable if it in there assigned area. I went to the beer section and I wanted to expand my  own selection and I asked the beer guy about the varieties that were available and he was fantastic he could tell you types, regions, countries and countless other info on the subject, and it has a very wide selection which would take you a couple of years to try them all.  Then I went over to Scotch malt liquor area (which I like when I smoke a cigar) once the guy who works in the area came over he went over all the varieties, prices, and differences of each type, so again wham! They knew it all!  The wines are the same wide selection very knowledgeable and from Boone's farm to Eastern Australian Shiraz they have it all.  My experience was quite nice my only problem is that it's not rock bottom pricing and not...

If they don't have it then they know how to get it.  They go the extra mile....

If you have the time, you will find great wines and great prices, as well as wines that can't easily be found elsewhere. The staff is definitely hit or miss. I have had good experiences when I needed assistance, but more often than not the staff is slightly rude, dismissive, and often too busy to help. The store has terrific accessories to the wine, such as glasses, openers, and gift items, as well as a great cheese and hors d'orves selection. They also have some interesting chocolates from...
