Total Wine Curbside Pickup

We have a half a glass of red wine every evening. It’s a habit we have had for a very long time. It’s one of the few things us “older folks” can still enjoy. We don’t do much of anything else these days. Since we only order grocery delivery since March, it’s difficult to add wine to the list. So, we have been ordering wine by the case from Total Wine and having it delivered. But picking it up in the lobby is awkward having to show an ID, etc. After two rounds of that, we decided to give curbside pick up a try. I ordered a case and got a really great deal. First of all the wine is quite cheap, and it got even cheaper by ordering 12. Without a delivery fee and tip it got even cheaper. We got an email this morning saying the purchase was ready for pick up and to follow the instructions on the sign when we arrive. After our morning walk we got in the car and drove just a couple of blocks to the store. We pulled in to a designated curbside parking space, texted the number, our name and parking space. They asked for the order number and within a few minutes the wine was delivered to the car - of course - only after they saw my ID. Luckily it was a dry day. It might be dicey if it’s pouring rain. I think my husband prefers the pickup. If it wasn’t for the ID I still prefer the delivery.
