I live close to AJs and it's pretty good for a lot of things.  \n\n1. Wine selection: they have a big, nice wine section and a lot of imported beers and stuff like that.  They also have really helpful staff that will help you pick out affordable good wines.  They also have a really cool instant wine chiller so if you buy white wine for dinner it can be chilled in just 10-15 minutes.\n\n2. BBQ and sushi:  they have a BBQ everyday for lunch and it sometimes has really good deals -- like a chicken sandwich, a side, and a huge drink for $5.  Can't really beat it, except that it was making me fat from eating it too often ;)  They also have a sushi bar that's not too cheap but is good if you want something light, fast.\n\n3. Great candles and lotions and products like that.\n\nAside from that, the service is pretty good, there are free samples sometimes, and the groceries are fine.  I haven't been too impressed with the produce quality.   Overall, a good store and worth frequenting.
