thanks for tip. A few hits on WS Pro. One is almost guaranteed not to
have (the bad Wine Chateau, in NJ) and the 2 West Coast (WHWC and K&L)
are considerably higher ($27). But there is a wine store in Upper
Manhattan that has shown up a few times on searches. I'll try and stop
there ($20) and give it a try.
