“am super curious to learn more about how the wine/beer stocking works. The Richmond, Novato, and Petaluma stores all seem to have great selection (supposedly the Petaluma store is known for having an excellent buyer), but I presume there’s probably a list somewhere they’re all buying off of? I’m tempted to find the San Rafael buyer and tip them off to the GO Wine comment threads so they pick up better stuff.”
My understanding is that there is one corporate alcohol buyer that then offers up what is purchased to each franchise. It is definitely up to the buyer / owners at the store to decide what comes in (depending on license of course… we have one near us that stocks beer/wine and another that also has a license to carry spirits.)
I think reaching out to your store buyer is a great idea. I have done that locally and had good results in seeing more of the things I like show up

The East Hayward GO has only lately started getting interesting, local beers, but you have to buy 4-packs. No large singles unless you’re looking for a 40 of Bud/Corona/etc.

GO, Santa Cruz
GOOD Cottage Cheese, 2.50
Good brand cottage cheese is back. Three varieties: Double Cream, 2%, and 4% (lactose free). Picked up a few of the double cream. Side note: i noticed that Good has switched to #5 plastics (formerly used #2 which is accepted by more recycling programs), which are not always recyclable (check your local guidelines).
