    I've been really quite lazy by not explaining why this hidden treasure recieves 5 stars from me. If needing wines or drinks for a dinner party... or any party for that matter, it's really worth going out of your way to this Mecca of Wine! And... the staff are super helpful, know their stuff (and if don't, will call for help or look it up) and all service is delivered with a smile. They even carry your purchases to your car (unlike other certain large chains of Wine merchants). Great selection, super staff, fabulous place. Trust me... go!
