Total Wine & More - Redondo Beach

I'm hurt and embarrassed from the female store manager or supervisor who racially profiled me because I'm an African American male. She did not want to serve me because a customer who was leaving the store said I smelled like Marijuana as I'm walking in total wine. According to her all African American males smell like marijauna even though I asked her "do I smell like marijauna? She replied "NO", quote on quote she said it's store policy if a customer complains about another customer they have to fallow up with that and escort the individual out the building so if I randomly say a customer smells like drugs or alcohol that person can't shop there anymore and now I'm banned from the store because some idiot Keep in mind I just spent over $200 dollars less than 20 mins. ago prior before this altercation at Total wine at the same location, so for some reason they didn't refuse my business because I spent over $200 but I come back to buy a few six pack and Total wine don't want my service because it's a few dollars Another thing I was working on the clock I'm a private contractor for "Instacart" so i deliver food & liquor etc. to customers daily, I called the redondo police dept. to file a report against "Total Wine" & the employee for that false accusation I'm taking this to court and I hope it get some national press When the police arrived they're honest with me and they said if she refuse your business you've to go by law, but they also said they don't smell no marijauna on me and if they did I would be arrested for a "dui" because I delivery driver so quote on quote there words were "I believe she singling you out for some odd reason" and they let me go with no problem or warnings Last thing i would add I've the worst form of asthma, high cholesterol, I'm 33, if I decide to smoke it would literally kill me or send me to the hospital I RECOMMEND NO AFRICQN AMERICAN TO SBOP AT THIS RACIST ESTABLISHMENT, I'VE NEVER HAD T HIS PROBLEM AT BEVMO

A decent, typical Total Wine, next door to a sprouts and around the corner from King Harbor. Lots of options with both liquor, wine and beer. Some beers that you don’t normally see outside of Total Wine. A decent bottle shop if you are in the area.

I moved to Redondo Beach and this store was my first introduction to Total Wine & More. I walked in with no expectations and I was blown away. Compared to the shops I was used to going into this place had a huge selection, great prices, and a variety of things you would want to go along with your alcohol selection. Besides the normal beer, wine, and liquor, this place has tastings, classes, snacks, and small items related to alcohol (glasses, cork display pieces, etc). For a retail chain and a novice connoisseur who is looking to try some different items, nothing will come close to this place. When I get by my initial amazement, there are a few cons that I have noticed from the many times I have been here. As many other reviews say, when I have searched for a rare beer (that I have seen rated high on this site), I have come out empty handed. The service is hit and miss as I have had some great experiences with associates on the floor who have been knowledgeable about the selection, and I have had times where I am basically ignored the entire time I am in the store (including the checkstand). The thing that gets me the most is the actual checkstand setup. The end of the checkstand (after you have checked out) has very limited space. So once I purchase my items I am handed my change and as I start putting the money in my wallet, I am being handed my items purchased, since the checker can’t start ringing up the next customer until I am walking towards the exit. The more items I get, the more rushed I feel as I am trying to put money away, and figure out how I am going to carry my 12 pack, and a handful of craft beers. Overall, a great place and the store has more than enough items to try for a reasonable price.

Compared to some of the other Total Wine locations, the selection here is a bit disappointing. Still, it’s bigger than a lot of other bottle shops. The usual Southern California suspects, some imports, and a smattering of beers from other states. Typical Total Wine pricing. Non-existent service other than at the register.

Like another user said "quantity over quality" thats pretty much all your gonna find. Although they do get some nice seasonal and rares but they go rather quick so ur chances on getting something like abyss is very slim. I was able to score Kern 5th so that was awsome (had to ask for it). Lets go to the typical stuff, twice I went...what did I want some typical port, flying dog so I order that...I drove...what happens? order cancelled cause they dont have it...thats the end of that. So there website is completly useless. For the most part I avoid this place and would rather hit up local liquor stores run by beer geeks.

I hate how much I love this store. As much as this store is to local liquor stores as Walmart is to local retail businesses, I can’t really boycott it just because it’s so damn good.

Solid spot, but is a bit quantity over quality. They have some good selections, but they don’t have many truly rare beers.

The best selection of beers in the South Bay. I particularly like the option of being able to buy single 12oz bottles and cans. This allows me to buy a beer for $2 to $4 instead of throwing down $7 to $12 for a six pack. Buying beer this way is a great way to try as many beers as you can and save money. For those who do like to buy six packs they do have a vast selection and better prices for six packs than anywhere else I have shopped in Southern California. They also have a lot of the more expensive specialty beers that come in the 750ml bottles, but I think that Whole Foods in El Segundo has a better selection in this area. I cannot say too much about the customer service as the only time I really interact with any employees is when I am paying for my beer. They do have beer classes here. I am thinking of attending one on September 29. The cost is $15 and you get to try 12 beers. I also heard they feed you.
