We had a wine shop open near by that has done well from what I can tell.

His outlook on the shop is to not carry wines that can be bought in the
local food stores, have wine that spans the price range of $10 to $279
and do in-store tastings of almost any wine he carries. There are some
expections to that of course.

We have a lot of fun there and have expanded our selection because of
the tastings. I have a hard time justifing spending $50 on a bottle of
wine when I don't know if I will like it. That's not a problem any more
as long as I go to this shop!
