Wines at local grocery store

<IMHO you can't find a decent merlot in a super market>
Man there must be some sucky supermarkets back east. What do they carry, KJ, Casarsa, and Meridian? We've even Albertson's (very low end of the "food chain") here in Washington state that get Silver Oak. The Fred Meyer's (Owned by Kroger) in Oregon and Washington all have great Pinots and Merlots, (go figure). I've seen many of the wines reported on this Board at lowly Safeway stores. This is not even touching the better food stores, many of which have easily over 2,000 wines to offer. (I've seen great wines for sale in Post Falls Idaho.) Guess I need to go out to some stores next time I am back east.
P.S. The Blackstone suggestion is a great one.
