The little Eno wine shop in downtown Providence has a wide selection of
champagnes and sparkling wines. I'm looking forward to trying a few.

The other thing I love about the place is the staff pretty much knows
everything on the shelves. Go in and say you like fruity but dry wines
and they'll show you several varieties. Go in and ask what red or white
wine goes with particular cheeses, and again they'll help you out.

The prices range from extremely reasonable to extremely expensive. But
worth every penny.

I'm so glad to see places like Eno, Farmstead, and even Symposium Books
in downtown Providence.
