Plantation Fine Wine & Spirits

This is an update to my previous review. The store is now under new ownership and the new employees are MUCH more courteous and helpful. The selection and prices are still the same as before. Below is my original review:
Prices are high, the selection isn’t as good as it appears, and the staff is rude. I asked the cashier if they ever stock cruzan blackstrap. His condescending reply was, «no we try to steer away from the cruzan and other party rums like it.» Ok for one thing, I couldn’t care less what they serve at parties; I am an introvert and haven’t been to a party in years. I prefer to make myself a rum and coke and read a good book which is exactly what I was planning to do that evening. Whether or not it’s a cheaper rum, I like the way it tastes. I am not pretentious enough to think that the more expensive something is, the better it tastes. Secondly, the few parties I have been to, they usually served captain Morgan or parrot bay which I’d like to point out, plantation had multiple selections of captain Morgan. Hypocrites.
I’ll take my business elsewhere even if I have to drive farther.

I cannot give a five star review because there is not enough product at this location I’m sure they would order anything you wanted but they do not have it on hand. The gentleman Mike is a really nice guy and his dog is nice too –overall it’s a great place. it’s a lot better than the other liquor store down the road where those people are extremely rude

I can tell several reasons not to go here! Go to Bluegrass, Pour Vous, or any other liquor store in Summer County. This is my second visit. My first I was greeted by a younger gentleman. Very nice and asked if I needed any help. The prices are a bit higher than their competitors and last night the two goofs working there were very rude. the older gentleman did not speak although my friend and I spoke to him first in unison. when asked if there was a certain Asian plum wine available we got the ugliest expression that you can imagine. They literally had one brand (not the one I asked for). So we heard some foot steps turned around it was a old looking dog. Noticed the huged bird cage. But the older ratchet goof ball woman looked and us and didn’t smile. When I asked her did they have a wine chiller to sit the wine in to chill she in her most nastiest tone said no you are going to have to go elsewhere and get that. WTF? She talked to me as if I insulted her by asking if they had a wine chiller. Her answer threw me off cause clearly she wasn’t paying attention and clearly she didn’t give a da*n if we were paying customers. That place needs to go. maybe they feel because they are 40 miles outside of Nashville they can have any contacts in their business and they can treat anyone outside of their race any kind of way

Ok this place is great! The prices are a little high but the have a dog in the store that I was able to give a treat from the lady at the register. That made my day. Thanks Zoey the dog: D

So I stop into Plantation for a couple bottles of wine and a specific version of it, and I was thrilled to find that they carried my selection. The prices were reasonable, nothing overly pricey or cheap, and I found what I needed in a relatively short amount of time. The space was open and nice and I thought «not bad» and decided to keep browsing a bit longer.
As I’m sorting through the sparking wines, I hear a high pitched very strange noise like a recording or alarm but it’s not quite either and I can’t place the sound. It’s ear piercing in fact, and I am at the far end of the store by the refrigerated section. I was fearful that something was going on and made my way to the register while attempting to cover my ears and not drop the precious bottles of wine.
To my dismay, there was a parrot or some kind of domesticated bird sitting in a cage by the register making what I thought was gibberish racket but turned out to be saying «what’s your order» in a creepy recording like voice that birds have.
I don’t like birds, and I sure don’t like birds at a store where I am shopping. I found out from my mom that they apparently have a variety of animals in this liquor store; a dog, cat, etc.
So if you enjoy animals and want to talk to a parrot friend, I’d say this is your store. But may I suggest a name change?
Old McDonald’s Booze Farm.

As I have said many times, I only review liquor stores based on their selection of whiskeys. This liquor store seemed average in most respects, but with a limited selection of whiskeys.
The prices here were higher than they are at Bluegrass, just down the street and the guy working there seemed too busy watching TV to acknowledge my presence until the way out.
To add insult to injury, all the whiskeys were mixed together — Irish with Canadian with Bourbon with Tennessee etc.
Definitely not my favorite store
