Shops in Columbus, OH?
I just moved from Utah to Columbus, OH. Would you believe that you can
buy wine in STORES here?! Oh, 48 other states are like that? I see. Anyway, I am looking for two types of stores: (a) those with competitive pricing on $10-$25 bottles, especially French R+W, Aussie R, and Cali Zin (yes, R!); and (b) those with a decent selection and knowledgeable staff for the occasional $100 bottle. I don't pretend to know more than I do, and appreciate the help of someone who knows her or his stuff. Thanks. John |

Sorry I cannot help as I don't know your marketplace.
But the wines that you are seeking, really good wines that are reasonably priced are my challenge as well. I tend to break down and but only the good stuff that is expensive. Any idiot can do that. The challange is finding the GREAT bottle of $15-$25 Cab that drinks like a $150-200 Napa Bottling or Classified 1-2 Growth Bordeaux. Or a $10-15 Pinot Noir that drinks like a $100 bottle of Burgandy. Good Luck > wrote in message oups.com... >I just moved from Utah to Columbus, OH.
