I'll have to stop by there, just for the sake of research of course.

The one in Lewisville definitely has lower prices than Specs, but their floor salespeople are rather aggressively used car like.  Still, the price difference keeps me going back.  Pretty good selection across the board on beer, wine, and liquor.

Never heard anyone ever say they have lower prices than Spec's, especially the debit/cash price.

Depends - the one thing their staff does well is take what you like and find you a much cheaper version of it. I've found some good vodkas, whiskeys, bourbons and gins for cocktail mixing and even a few for straight sipping I never would have touched otherwise thanks to them.

Been 3 times since it opened...I might have a tiny problem...

It opened yesterday!  You must already be known as the Total Wine Guy. Or are the sales folks THAT good?

Vis a vis, Total Wine Lewisvile vs. Specs The Colony, Total Wine wins on price every time, even debit card discount taken into account.

I've seen some crazy deals at Total Wine...$6.99 Real Ale and/or Shiner, $7.99 Deep Ellum etc.

IDK how long Total Wine in Lewisville has been open but their M.O. when entering a market is to undercut pricing on most everything to drive out the little guys. Once dominance has been established you'll see the prices increase.

For those unaware Specs is owned by North Texas alums that support the University.

I think they're pushing 2 years in Lewisville now, but you'd have to check me on that.  (Brief Google implies closer to a year and a half) Since whatever year it was that they opened was the same year Lewisville OK's liquor stores, there was no little guy to push out.  Competition would be Highland Village to the north and The Colony to the east.

I'd rather give my money to Specs.  Three things:

1)  The price difference on the stuff I buy (mid-grade to decent grade bourbon mostly) runs about 15-25% lower at Total Wine

2)  Unlike the big flagship Specs in Dallas on 75 and Walnut Hill, I've not received very consistent service at Specs in The Colony. Not very knowledgeable beer staff sometimes, and some rather derisive comments from people checking out (based on quantity, perceived lack of quality of items purchased, or mocking perceived snootiness for something being too high quality)

3)  Total Wine isn't kinda sorta if I jump on an extra $4 of tolls on the way home like Specs.  It is DIRECTLY on the way home.

All that said, the floor sales people (or at least the bourbon guy in particular) at Total Wine is a bluetooth wearing, bad suit donning, pushy, obviously getting kickbacks, doesn't actually know shit about his product, greasy car salesman.  He's difficult to avoid if you take more than two minutes to decide what you're going to buy on a given day.  Then he'll completely ignore anything you have to say (like, you know, "Go away, little man!") and try to push his distributor's crappy flavor of the week into your hands.

The applewood smoked bacon at Specs is second to none.  That in and of itself is worth the drive sometimes.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Half Sarcasm and Half Not. This program vasilates from throwing money around to pleading poverty. The only reason this program has been so bad over the last 20 years is bad leadership. They aren't dumb they are playing some political game most fans are not pivy too. Coach Dodge should have retained most of Dickey's defensive staff and had more FBS experience on his staff from day one. Coach Mac should not have been allowed to bring a Stone Age offense in with him. Coach Littrell should have never been extended multiple times without winning anything. And Eric Morris should not have been allowed to bring in a gimmicky 3-3-5 just because it frustrated EM's offenses the most (in his opinion). EM should be gone at the end of the season to be sure but they gave him the rope to hang himself. 🤷🏽‍♂️. So bring in high school coaches onto the defensive staff and we might get lucky. Because in 2025 I am 90% certain this will be just like Seth's last year: 2025 EM Team will Predictable underachievement looking pretty much the same as the last 2024 team. I predict a slightly better defense in spots, a slight dropoff in offense and flirting with 0.500 most of 2025. If only EM was the QB recruiter & QB coach under Seth we might have a few bowl wins 😆.

      There are many fans here who have suffered more at the hands of this program than myself. I consider myself privileged as I went to UNT in 2011. My fandom has had more decent times than bad. I feel like for the majority of my fandom, special teams has been a strength so to see it in its current condition makes it obvious how poor that unit is.
