    Compared to the one I've been to in Florida, way more organized and bigger beer selection. Bigger selection of wine and cigars as well.

    My experience in Dallas: TW is a nicer looking store in general, organized, many employees wear slacks and ties. TW has a nice selection of singles, basically an entire aisle. Specs continues to add to their singles selection but still lacking compared to TW. I tend to find things sit longer at TW. I find a larger selection of beers and distilled spirits at Specs though. I don't usually shop for wines or cigars so I can't speak to that. Again, my experience in Dallas.

    Ok driving by WillowBrook mall it seems they are opening one up on the other side of 1960. Man if it is true they do mix 6 then that will be nice as there is really nothing out on this side of houston that does that.

    The Total Wine at Willowbrook officially opened today, slipped in there around lunch and grabbed a mix 6 and a 6 pack of Lagunitas Born Yesterday. Had some things that are hard to find out here, i.e. 6 pack of Victory at Sea (abt $1.50 less than specs) and 6 packs of Sorachi Ace (abt $1.50 less than specs). Nice selection of pick 6. Really love the 4 packs of Old Tankard Ale which expired in June of 2016, bet the distributor loved seeing those go

    Here in Fort Worth, Total Wine tries to be an upscale Specs and fails miserably. It's not a bad store, but the employees are worthless and sometimes rude. Selection is pretty even to specs as well although beer sits on the shelves much, much longer. I rarely go in there.
