Aria,

Actually, you are fortunate in that you live in an area where there are many stores where you can find virtually any wine you read about on this board. Bedford, itself, unfortunately is an island of mediocrity in an ocean of great wine. If you go to Bedford Liquors next to the Stop & Shop, you won't find much. However, Colonial Spirits in Acton is a great shop. Speak with Scott Wilson, and he'll help you find whatever you want. If he doesn't stock exactly what you're looking for, he can get it through his wholesalers (as long as they carry it). Also, try West Concord Liquors (across from the fire station on Rt. 62). They carry an amazing variety of wines for a small shop. Joe Saia is the guy to see there. There are also many shops in your area that conduct regular Saturday tastings where you can stop by and just taste different wines and expand your horizons (as the ole Curmudgeon suggests). When you stop by any shop, ask to be put on their mailing list (if they have one, not all do). The newsletters will let you know about any current wine sales and special tastings. Welcome to the wonderful world of wine.
