R. Field Wine Company

I've been to a few R. Fields at other Foodland stores, but not this particular one. So I opted to call to see if they had a particular cigar and I spoke to a gentleman named Brian. He stated that he would go take a look and put me on hold, after 20 minutes of waiting I decided to call back and when I did Brian was gone and another gentleman abruptly said we don't carry that, Thanks bye. Needless to say I won't be visiting this store and would hope that they have a little bit more customer service because they just lost the customer, and did not realize it.

Walked in looking for a nice cigar. Within a minute Brooke came over and greeted me with a nice smile and those friendly words "can I help you with anything?" I knew that this will be an awesome visit. I said that I was looking for a nice cigar for the evening. She then opened the right side of the display case and offered my to smell and touch them. Im in heaven at this point. She then did the same on the left side and I almost fainted with that fine scent of wood and tobacco. Brooke gave me some suggestions and I picked what I wanted. After paying she suggested that I should return when I'm ready for the next one. AMAZING Brooke! You're on it for sure and because of you I'll be returning for another fine cigar.Thank you!

This is one of my more favorite R. Field Wine Company locations on the island. They have a decent selection of old and new world wines, with a good range of prices and varietals. They are a bit weak when it comes to new world, specifically Napa, allocation selections. Other wine shops around the island have much better selections of limited allocation releases. I'm also missing mixed format bottles here---I wish sometimes they had some mags and double mags of their more reasonable labels.The majority of the shop is dedicated to dry and refrigerated goods. If you want vinegar, tartuffi, salami, pastas, sauces, scones, or local, organic butter---this is the place! The staff is sometimes friendly sometimes standoffish. I've noticed a direct correlation between how I dress and how I'm treated which, I know, is common. It's still sad to see, however.

I've been coming to this R.Fields for about 4 years now and I've always been impressed, with their selection, prices, and service. Jermey was a great manager and very insightful with all the products in the store and he was the manager for as long as I have been coming to R.Fields but he has sinced moved on. The new manager is surprisingly young but incredibly knowledgeable and his custoner service is impeccable. His name is Robert and he always greets me and others with a smile and a hello as soon as you walk in. He is eager to help and has gone out of his way many times to help me and my wife. If you need anything go see him. Even if they don't have what you are looking for he can usually help you find what you need, whether it been wine, liquor, or food. I highly recommend checking this place out if you have never been here before.

Awesome place to get wine and Italian groceries. We needed to get some lady fingers and this was the only place we could find them on Oahu. Also get some Italian coffee beans here. It's great.

Love this R Fields! Usually you find R Fields located inside Foodland but this location is a stand alone connected to the grocery store. We walked in to grab a few bottles of wine for a BYOB dinner next door and were greeted by a fantastic selection. This can feel overwhelming because earnestly after a long day I don't want to make anymore decisions. Luckily their wine buyer was working the counter and he gave us several great suggestions! We were so happy with his helpfulness and we walked out with two lovely bottles, each under $20. We enjoyed the bottles with my in-laws and it made our pizza dinner extra memorable. Next time we're in the area we're definitely going to stop by to grab a few bottles for our celebration!

I have to admit that when Whole Foods sprang up in Kailua, I was worried about this place.This place is the Nietzsche of high end grocery stores, what ever doesn't kill it makes it stronger.Great experience #1: Before New Year's Eve. Wife wanted to make a charcuterie board for the holiday. R. Field's knowledgable staff was right there recommending superior meats cutting our sopresetta and serrano ham with great gusto. Wife is not a fan of champagne, but they had a nice alternative....Lambrusco which is a sweet red wine with bubbles. We also got a nice riesling. New Year's Eve was a hit.Great experience #2: Generous product sampling. R. Field brings in wine distributors every Saturday to show their wares. Today, the Absolut guy was there giving free Bloody Mary and Cosmo samples. Never had a shot of the hards in a grocery store until now. Much win.They even give samples of the many fine chocolate products they stock.Sure Whole Foods has all of everything in overwhelming quantities. But when you want a quick stop in for that special meal you are planning. This place wins hands down.

I am going to start this review with one, major fact: I am a foodie. BIG time. Which means that I enjoy ALL different kinds of food. I also should mention that I lived in Europe for nearly 11 years- wandering like a gipsy. I moved back home *accepting* the fact that many of the foods that became a staple in my daily life (like great wine, mozzarella di bufala and pate) I would no longer have access to... at least, not as easily. Then- one day- beau and i were waiting for our table at prima pizza and decided to buy a bottle of wine at the shop right next door... I walked in, glanced around - and suddenly like a strike of lightning (the good kine) the light of heaven shone through the shelves of bottles of primitivo wine and then again through the glass doors of the refrigerated section of the real mozzarella and burrata and gorgonzola cheese and they began to sing to me like an enchanting chorus of angels and then I turned to the right and there was a section of prosciutto di San Daniele and pate with black truffle and imported speck and I just about fainted when I saw the infused olive oils from puglia and sardegna... Beau liked the whiskey options and the only reason why we left and I didn't drool on the floor was because we had reservations elsewhere AND I bought half a pound of pate, some awesome organic chocolates and crispy flat bread crackers... I'll be back for the cheese!! You can sample pretty much anything in the salumi and pate section to make sure you like it. Pate runs from about $15 to $20 per pound. You don't need a lot!! It can stretch if you're making some predinner fancy schmancy snacks.

I wasn't always a huge fan or had even eaten much gourmet food. But my then hottie boyfriend now hottie husband got a job as a sales associate here and started bringing all kinds of goodies home for us to try. He was bringing home chocolate caramels with sea salt and bacon, atleast 3 bottles of wine a week for us to try, cheeses and more.Their store has got by far the best cheese selection on the island. They've also got an extensive meat selection. We love cacciatorri and genoa salami from here and recently started eating the peopperoni from here too, all ONO! What really is the best about this store is their reliable, friendly and EXTREMELY knowledgeable staff. I know jack about wines and my husband picked up quite a bit while working there but we still rely on Brian and Pat and Jeremy to help us pair the right red with our steak or whatever we're eating. You can ask them anything about any of the foods in the store and even what is the best restaurant for the type of food you're craving that night. Most of them are very passionate about food and travel which is why they work here. Other items they offer are fresh Nalo Farms greens and herbs, organic brussell sprouts, haricot verts, oodles of Italian noodles and pasta sauces and everything else a su chef needs to become or atleast look like a gourmet! You will not be dissapointed with the food or the staff!
