Top Ten Liquors - Blaine

Needed to get a gift bottle of wine for a party in Blaine and Too Ten has a good diverse selection without having to visit a mega chain. Many regions of wines are represented, and the fact that they are beer, whiskey and bourbon specialists they will have what you are looking for with a hometown feel!

They have a quite good selection of spirits, and I've been a patron for years. However, I am not any more, since they recently decided they have to scan your driver's license before purchase. When challenged, they lied and said "it's a legal requirement." I just checked--it isn't--and not surprisingly, there are plenty of stores not run along totalitarian lines. I highly recommend Zipp's in Minneapolis for an equally great selection.

Was there this morning at 9:00 am disappointed with your new great hours maybe it will change left store no purchase.

This is, I think, the largest liquor store in the area and I can usually find everything I'm looking for here. They have a decent selection of craft brews, though maybe not the best in the area (Tournament boasts the most, but I don't stop there often because its hard to get in/out). There is always someone available to help and check out goes quick. They also almost always have a deal on the little bottles of liquor so its fun to dig through the bins to find something new to try. They also keep a stack of boxes by the door - easy to grab if you need any. Wine selection seems big, but I don't drink wine so I can't say how good the selection is.

This place is awesome!!They are so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and personable. They ALWAY greet you with a smile when you walk through the door, help carry out your purchases, have a rewards plan for discounts, GREAT sales and they put away your cart too!All the employees are fantastic, but I will call on to Chuck, who is amazingly smart on all their products there.Love love this place!!

Went to the wine tasting. There was an interesting mix from local, national and a few international wineries and hard seltzer/cider makers. All the sampled drinks are on sale as well as additional items. I found some new items I hadn't tried before and of course left with more than I intended. They only issue I had was parking.

The Night Manager was the best. He help me locate the bottles I needed. I was in a rush to a party and needed all the items under budget . He let me know with the perk membership sign up I can get all the items. The Night Cashier (8808) was quick to sign up. Had to leave a review of the store. Very Clean and organized. Thanks for all your help!

This place defends poor staff that treat customers abysmally. It seems that the customer should come first. I have been shopping at this store for over 12 years and I feel I am courteous when people treat me with respect. Being a woman, I see men get better service, and the fact that I was honest about an issue in a tactful way was taken out of context, and the blame fell to me because the employee most likely made a case for herself so she wouldn't get fired. When I grew up, in the 60's it was ok to tell people the way things went, but I see the culture has changed and it is no longer acceptable to be honest without being mean or any way beligerant because Interpretation by a person who was not there judges you to the worst degree. I will no longer come here because I can't politely decline assistance even when I don't need it. Enough said! I will take my business elsewhere where they treat you like the return business you will provide based on mutual honesty.

I had terrible experience today. All four of the employees didn't know a basic type of wine, and when I finally spelled it properly to them, they made fun of my accent, showing unprofessionalism and xenophobia. Your manager seemed to be there laughing along, this store needs to get educated.

Customer Service is fabulous! I stopped at the Top Ten in Roseville and a gal named Cindy helped me so much with a gift for my son in the Navy. That was about 2 years ago. I just stopped at the Blaine location Top Ten (to pick up items for myself) and Cindy is now working at that store. She remembered me, even though I had a mask on due to Covid. She asked if I needed anymore gifts and I said "yes, I'm heading out to see my son again in Aug. and would like to bring something". She showed me a few items that are really great and from MN. I bought them. So happy to bring gifts from MN and I know they will love! Thank you Cindy!!!
