While visiting the Orlando area for a mini-vacation over the weekend, I had the opportunity to stop at this location of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. As a long time customer of locations in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Vero Beach areas, I know the brand and enjoy the competitive prices.



At about 3:45 p.m. on June 5th, I had the opportunity to meet Arthur Maille, an ABC wine consultant. Long story short, I was staying at the Parc Soleil by Hilton a few blocks away and needed to stock my refrigerator for the weekend. I didn't feel like paying "per drink" hotel prices and since my suite had a full kitchen, why not use the refrigerator?



I needed a few bottles of red wine and some Bacardi rum. I went with a Bacardi black rum at a sale price of $18.99 for the 1.75 lire and a regular bottle of Bacardi rum at $18.99 on sale. Arthur suggested the Anticipation red wine as it was on sale "BOGO free" at a final price of $11.50 per bottle and a bottle of Hart & McGarry Cabernet Sauvignon at $12.99 a bottle.



I later found the two wine selections by Arthur to be great choices. The Bacardi is a life long favorite and didn't require a lot of assistance. Although offered a wine sample, I declined as I had my wife and three kids in the car as the driver.



My cashier was Shawn. He inquired about my ABC rewards card - which for some reason I've never properly activated - and questioned whether I found everything I was looking for. Shawn even had time to answer a "cash back" question for the customer behind me. Seems like she wanted cash back along with her couple dollar purchase.



Clean store, plenty of parking and an overall positive experience. A strong 4-star rating for this particular visit to ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.
