I do peruse their aisles often - as I do other wine sensitive shops. You can often find an occasional gem in the Fas Chek store on Washington Street in West Charleston too. They always seem to have close-outs of interesting labels for prices as low as $2.50 a bottle. However, you need to be aware that some of these wines are "over the hill."

Henceforth I'll make a point of clipping your wine recommendations from the Sunday paper and looking for them at those locations. And I must chime in with Doug Imbrogno: The wine selection at Drug Emporium near Patrick St. is surprisingly good, and they often provide rating and tasting notes. CHUCK ANZIULEWICZ DEAR JOHN:

They have the best prices there often and I always comparison shop their prices with elsewhere | Doug Imbrogno Dear John: I suggest writing about wine shopping in Charleston and unexpected places to look like Drug Emporium.

I hesitate to list where I purchased them because sometimes they are sold out,but unless I specify that they are from out of state, you can generally find them at local shops. Unless you're in a hurry, it's kind of fun to shop around the city for not only what I suggest, but for what might tickle your wine fancy. By the way, I'm really impressed with the renewed emphasis by Drug Emporium on their wine section. Great number of excellent selections.

So once again, where do I find them? Kroger? The Wine Shop? Drug Emporium? It would be REALLY helpful if you could note where these wines might be purchased locally. Thanks in advance.
