Over the next nine years they expanded into other states, and today David and Robert operate more than 24 Wine Superstores in five states, with several more planned to open over the next two years. Today, Total Wine is the largest independent wine retailer in the country with yearly sales of over one million cases of wine per year.

In order to do so, David and Robert have traveled throughout the world working with producers in order to bring Total Wine & More the best selection at the lowest prices
