Attention North County booze hounds, you now have a Total Wine & More in your vicinity.
The liquor superstore, which some liken to a Costco of alcohol, has opened its second OC store at 471 South Associated Road Brea, CA 92821 (at the Brea Plaza Shopping Center). They are open daily, 9 a.m.-10 p.m., for all your drinking needs.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
