I’m giving this store 5 stars for one simple reason. Unlike the store in Le Mars, Ia. this one does not swipe your drivers license. The store in Le Mars swipes your license saying that it is company policy. When I asked the clerk in Coralville store I was told that it is the managers policy not corporate’s policy. This store in Coralville has a dynamite selection of wines and other spirits and there prices are much lower than anywhere else.

These dudes(because I’ve only ever seen men working at this location, oddly) seem to know their stuff about beer and wine, they’re always friendly, and now they know what cigarettes I buy and make fun of my boyfriend and I for all the tonic we buy. The selection’s nothing to complain about – my beer snob friends always find something they like here, and HyVee’s making a concerted effort to stock local beers, which I like very much. The wine selection is pretty good, too, surprisingly – definitely a range of price points, but some real winners among them. Their hard liquor selection isn’t the greatest, but you’ll generally find what you need. My favorite part – there’s a cooler by the door so your mixers are chilled!

At first I was hesitant to enter the Hyvee spirits room. Figured it would be akin to Kmart having a liquor store and. with Barzini’s and Jon’s in town, why venture from greatness — dead wrong says I. This place is serious about libations! The manager here is a connoisseur of finer beverages and the place shows it. Upon entering you’re greeted by plenty of wine. Highfaluntin bottles to three buck chuck and all things in between. To the back right is an amazing selection of larger bottles of microbrews that range from light to dark, to fruity to holly. Second only to Jon’s and a couple spots in Seattle in variety and with a taste for any palate. To the left in the back are the six packs that again range from known to mysterious. The management is making a concerted effort to rotate the selection and seriously, it’s rad. They’re building the Iowa microbrew selection and have a great variety of regional and beyond brews. Best part is they’ll often sell them individually. Liquor selection is good, however, the best part is that the manager will take requests. He’s got some great connections and scores some tough regional favorites. Overall, I’ve been very impressed with the selection and service. A close second to Jon’s and on par with Barzini’s. Well played Hyvee!
