laveccha Posted January 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hello all - We are flying into Houston Hobby and would like to have our shuttle make a pit-stop for wine before we board the Triumph next month. I noticed there is a Walmart and Kroger's near the pier (Seawall Blvd). Does anyone have advice as to which one we should stop at? I am not familiar with Kroger's. How are selections of wine? Can I find at least a few twist off Chadonnary to choose from? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroger is a nice grocery chain and has ample wine selections. If you are with a group then expect the driver to exit Harborside Drive. There is nothing except gas stations on the route. One street over is The Strand, but I cannot remember wine being sold by the bottle at any of those shops. .

ssb Posted January 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Both have excellent wine selections. Specs will have most and better I would say! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted January 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Frank's at 2218 Strand - liquor store. Have no idea what they have or the cost, but it is only a few blocks to the pier if you don't have the option of stopping at Kroger, Randall's or Spec's.

BallFour4 Posted January 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I forgot about Franks! Good call. Liquor stores aren't open Sunday in Texas, but that doesn't matter to Triumph cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssb Posted February 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Kroger has more wine sections than wal-mart Specs # 1 and then Kroger Both will provide your needs! Not Walmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted February 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Specs # 1 and then KrogerBoth will provide your needs! Not Walmart Specs cannot be open on Sunday because they sell hard liquor and they are prohibited by state law to be open. Kroger can sell beer and wine after noon on Sunday since they do not have a hard liquor (package sales) license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Viggy Posted March 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We are flying in on Sunday, April 20. Triumph is leaving Monday April 21. Will be taking a van into Galveston around 4:30 Sunday night and staying at the Harbor House. Will there be any place for us to buy a couple bottles of wine Sunday night? I see mention that Texas doesn't allow alcohol sales on Sunday? If we have to wait until Monday, do the sales not start until after noon? Hoping to avoid packing wine bottles to bring with us!

No hard stuff on Sunday. Liquor stores are open 10 AM to 9 PM Monday - Saturday. Wine and beer are sold at grocery, convenience, super stores. No sales before noon on Sunday, but I think it's only 2 AM to 7 AM all other days that beer and wine can't be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
