If your state allows big wine stores such as “Total Wine,” they often have free tastings on the weekends.
We have liquor stores with a fairly good variety of wines, but the amount of variety depends on what part of town you’re in. If you live in a spendy area, you’ll probably get what you want.
Our grocery stores usually have a fairly good selection, again, depending on the dempgraphics. The organic food store I go to has a small but excellent selection of wines from all over the world. It makes my head swim to try and read the labels. I could spend a day in there and still not read them all, so how could I choose which one to buy?
LOL!
