I hope all you buy is wine... If you live in VA, your Commonwealth
wants you to shop at the ABC store. They always have the finest selection
of cheap hooch... ;-)

Whenever I want an unusual or unusually good bottle of vino, I go
to C-W... However, some friends have shopped at a place called The
Wine Merchant (conveniently located near Mitre in the Leesburg Pike
Shopping Center, Rte. 7 just N. of 123) and recommend it highly. I
was buying some wine from a basement specialty store in Olde Towne,
but I think their cellar's too warm since a couple of recent
purchases have been spoiled....
