Hmmm... We usually have a number of contributors from Columbus, but none
of them seem to be reading the newsgroup right now. Some names that
have come up over the years are Gentiles, MacLaren Wine Specialists,
Carnados and Stewarts. Gentiles has a wine bar and its own website:
http://www.gentiles.com. As I live in Indiana, I have no firsthand
exsperience with any of them, but they have all been recommended at one
time or another.
