Two bad bottles!

[hotwine]

TK, my current favorite shop is Wines Best Buy on W. Rhapsody, about two blocks east of West Avenue. They have the best prices available locally. And across the street is Joe Saglimbeni's, which probably has the best selection in town, although higher prices. I also visit Sun Harvest on Callaghan just east of IH10, and the nearby Gabriel's (watch for Garbriel's weekly ads in the front section of the San Antonio Express-News each Thursday; sometimes there's good stuff, and sometimes plonk).
The shop I was referring to in my post about the two bad bottles was Wines Best Buy. They've only been open since Dec 2000, but are already doing a brisk business with a sound reputation. And they give a 5% discount for cash or check, as well as a case discount of 10%. And BTW, the HEB at Bandera and 1604 now gives a 10% discount on only six bottles for most imported wines. (Other HEB stores may do the same, but that one is only a couple of miles from home for me.) Try HEB's Central Market on Broadway and their Marketplace on Bandera Road for wide selections, although higher proces than can be found at WBB.
