Best Wine Shop
Need some suggestions as to great wine shops particularly with smaller producers and not just run of the mill selections. Really knowledgable staff. Help! Thanks.
Martignetti's on Soldier's Field Rd. for the best selection in town, hands down. Very knowledgeable staff, as well. The Wine Emporium in the South End (one on Tremont and one on Columbus) have very good wine guys. On multiple occasions they've guided me towards great bottles that were significantly cheaper than what I was willing to pay. I've also found a number of unique bottles at Brix (locations in the South End and Financial District) as well as Charles Street Liquors in Beacon Hill. Formaggio also has a small selection of unique bottles but the help isn't nearly as helpful as it is for their cheeses.
Not sure where you are but if you happen to be South of Boston (or Dot/Southie) Gypsy Kitchen in Quincy Center is excellent. Lisa, the owner (who used to own the hot sauce kiosk in Faneuil Hall for years) is very, very knowledgable. She is also very good at remembering her customers tastes and recommending appropriate wines for them.
Bauer Wines on Newbury Street is our main supplier of great wines. Howie has been our wine mentor, teacher, coach and source of delicious for about 20 years.
But, we'll always buy a few bottles when we are near an excellent shop with some alternative choices.
Central Bottle in Central Square - excellent selection from importers that you usually see on great restaurant wine lists. And, we can put the rest of the meal together from the other end of the shop. What's more we usually have a bit of fun with the staff there.
Brix- South End and Broad very good team and a nice selection- they have wonderful wine tastings and deserve some of our business for introducing us to winemakers and letting us taste great wines.
Bottles in the North End. We discovered this place trying to find more of one of the Pretty Things beers but were impressed with the service and loved the first wines we had from there.
Wine Botaga on Hanover Street North End has a good selection of the Italian wines my husband loves.
Second the Formaggio recommendation. Our sparkling wine for November 1st was from there the South End store. ( We resolved to add more sparkle to our lives by beginning every month with a sparkling wine. And, we give a report on our selection on BostonZest.)
Violette Imports in the little space at the back of Sofra Cafe and Bakery in Cambridge. If Richard is there and has the shop open, you can find some real gems and he is always willing to teach us a little more with each visit.
And, if you are ever looking for the perfect bottle in Provincetown, Perry's in the West End is really excellent.
I'm sure I'll think of more and I'll give thanks to all those who take the time to do the first layer of selection so that I can have excellent wine to drink.

re: BostonZest
I second Violette. Not a huge wine store, but unusual stuff. Several wines that Formaggio carries are imported by V as are the wines on wine lists at places such as Craigie, T.W.Food, etc.
re: BostonZest
Sorry but I disagree with just about ALL of these recs.
Small selections, not very good prices, Violette sold me just plain bad stuff once. The recurring theme in ALL of these suggestions is that they are on the smaller boutique wine side of the equation. And tend to have nice decor with a focus on being "manageable".
I LOVE Formaggio, but just because they have 10-12 different bottles of wine don't mistake them for a wine shop.
If a really decent sized wine store is overwhelming to you, fine, but for a serious wine person I find it hard to place ANY of the places you mention even close to the top tier.
For serious wine stores in greater Boston:
Federal in the financial district.
Blanchard's in Allston (thought the owner is apparently not the nicest guy).
Mall Discount Liquors at Fresh Pond.
Martignetti's on Soldier's field.
Marty's in Newton - went yesterday after not having been for a long time and was reminding just what a remarkable store it is. Food, liquor AND some of the best wine selection around.
Gordon's in Waltham, my fav for many years.
Brookline Liquor Mart.
Some of the Atlas locations.
Some of the Kappy's locations.
And there is a place in Stoneham I have been meaning to check out that a hound raved about.

re: StriperGuy
Wow, StriperGuy and I disagreeing on something---whodathunk?
The problem with just about every rec on your list, StriperGuy, is not that they simply have the ambience of a Costco, but that they tend to be packed to the gills with whatever crappy vintage the distributor happened to have an extra couple of pallets of lying around in the warehouse. Sure, if you know enough about wines to avoid the glut of lesser '05 Bordeaux that were supposed to be the Next Big '00! (and other minefields)—or *always* speak with the resident wine expert, and not just the clueless cashiers who can recommend "um, uh, are you having beef or fish?"—then, sure, you can tiptoe through the dust and the bargain-basement BS to find some gems. Except at Brookline Liquor Mart, which in my recollection has more choices of appletini mix than C-du-Pape.
The "boutique" shops that you're categorically pooh-poohing may put off anyone who automatically conflates Gritty with Authenticity. But the best of them are less about decor and the Pachelbel playing overhead than about presenting a dossier of wines the proprietors truly stand behind—and yes, in some cases, an attitude, or slant, rather than a you-name-it-we-got-it free-for-all meant to satisfy every last oenophilic whim.
As a "serious wine person," I thoroughly enjoy:
-Brix (both locations), especially for their interesting Burgundies and terrific rosés, and a surprising depth in European whites
-South End Formaggio, where they have dozens and *dozens* of interesting wines, as well as a staff who can talk about them intelligently
-Beacon Hill Wine (this is a weird one, but I consistently find quirkball Rhone and Piemonte wines here that fit the bill to a T)
-Agree that Gypsy Kitchen is a surprising gem for its size
Farther afield: Eno, in Providence, is a wine store that I half-suspect was designed around my own personal tastes. Love it.

re: StriperGuy
I completely disagree with those suggestions. It is near impossible to find interesting wines from small producers at those stores (which is what the OP seeks). Those stores you recommend simply do not stock those types of wines; they focus on the commercially popular wines and the big names from the famous appellations - not the off-the-beaten path producers from less popular regions. For California Cabernet and Bordeaux they are unbeatable, for producers who make less than 100,000 cases, those stores are just plain terrible.
They are similar in selection steakhouse wine lists - huge, but no surprises. To get wines that you'll find on lists at places like Craigie, Oleana, Central Kitchen, TW Food, and the Barbara Lynch restaurants, you have to go to the smaller stores.
A small store does not mean a bad store. In fact, I think it often means the opposite. The people running the store actually edited their selection and chose good wines pretty much across the board. It has nothing to do with these stores being "manageable," it's all about them selling great wine. The large stores have 85% crap on the shelves. (Crap being wine from a handful of regions that all taste exactly the same.)
At the smaller stores you're more likely to find great wines from importers like Neal Rosenthal, Kermit Lynch, and Theise. I think that makes these stores very "serious" wine stores. Stores that post the Wine Spectator score and follow Robert Parker's palate are much less "serious" in my mind. Selling wines from producers and regions you've never heard of is not a bad thing.
For me, the best places in the area to find wines from smaller producers are Formaggio, Brix, Central Bottle, and Wine Bottega. I like the staff at the last three more than Formaggio because they focus on wine whereas the Formaggio workers have to know about everything in the store - they are helpful (some more than others), don't get me wrong, but in my experience not quite as much as those at the other stores.
I also love the very small selection of wines at Violette - he's not really a retail operation, so he doesn't have many. It's a good place to find funkier wines that aren't to everyone's tastes, but they are interesting and can start conversations. I've had wines I didn't like from there, but only because they weren't my taste, not because they were bad.
The only store I've seen nearby that does a superb job on stocking smaller, interesting producers as well as the big boys is Table and Vine in Springfield. That's also a good place to find very old wines.

re: StriperGuy
Large stores have their place, but they're not (as Jolyon observes) stores where you can generally count on knowledgeable help. You're just as likely to get a store employee who knows next to nothing, as you are someone who knows next to everything. You need the confidence and the knowledge to track down the wine buyer, and, even then, you can get a recommendation more based on what they want to push out the door to make room for the next big shipment, than one based purely on quality. I do use large stores, but more to track down wines I've already heard or read about than to make new finds. You have a better chance, in my experience, of getting a reliable *recommendation* at a smaller store even if the selection is not vast. After all most people go in to buy a bottle or two of wine, or at most a mixed case, than to stock a large wine cellar. Having 50 pinot noirs on the shelves is not as important in these cases as having three good ones that the owner/buyer can tell you about.
It's a bit like buying books. If you know what you want, you're more likely to find it at Borders. If you're looking for a recommendation, you're more likely to get a good one at the Harvard Book Store.
An aside on getting a bad wine at Violette: that can happen anywhere. Like fruit, wine is a crapshoot, especially ones that use natural cork. Most wine stores will take back bad wine. I know for a fact that Violette does.
re: FoodDabbler
Just to put things in perspective I essentially ALWAYS talk to the wine person. I typically buy mixed cases with a 20% discount AND then go back and buy a case when I particularly like something.
At big stores, Gordon's in particular where Raines actually imports many of the smaller bottlings of burgundy and Bordeaux, you will get off the beaten track bottlings AND good prices, and a knowledgeable staff as opposed to the 12 bottles on pretty shelves most of the places above have.
I also find that at the little fussy places you are JUST as likely to get some young newbie who they hired to pitch in as you are at the big places (with higher prices, a smaller selection and often a nice healthy dose of attitude to boot.)
Those smaller establishments are great if you want handholding. Not necessarily the most knowledgeable hand holding, cause in my experience the people with 20 years experience tend to work at the bigger stores, but nice warm fuzzy hand holding.
re: StriperGuy
Agree that Gordon's is exceptional.
Though would argue that all the youngsters I've dealt with at Brix could teach some of the wizened veterans at other places a thing or two.
I've definitely seen examples of the overly "warm fuzzy hand holding," though. That Winestone place in Chestnut Hill: Pretty nice selection, but the young staff accost you like you're shopping at Thom McAn, or dining at PF Chang's. "Have you SHOPPPPPPPPED with us before?????? What kind of wine do you generally like to drink????" Me: "All kinds. Leave me alone, please." Sheesh. I like their wines, but hate that kind of superciliousness.
re: StriperGuy
I buy wine at the Wine Cask in Somerville as well as at auction. Any store can order whatever you want though you need to be knowledgeable and proactive. I bought a case of Dominus 2007 and a case and a half of Dunhoff Rieslings recently, but for that you need to know what you want ahead of time.
Still, i find Steve Moser at the Cask very knowledgeable, and he could tell you what to order. David Raines is, too, I admit, but he pushes his own wine; he has a vested interest. You have pointed out the advantages but there are disadvantages, too, as it is to his advantage to push his own wine rather than other tings out in the market.
re: cambridgedoctpr
"Any store can order whatever you want"
I'm not sure that's true in MA. There are distributors that distribute to MA and those that don't. If you read about a wine and try to get a store in MA to order it, you tend to run into distribution issues if the official distributor does not supply MA. That's been my experience, anyway. Certain wines have proved impossible for me to procure here. I haven't tried too hard, I'll admit, so I may be wrong. (I don't try too hard not because I'm a quitter, especially when it comes to wine, but because I'm fortunate enough to have alternatives. I simply have wine shipped to New York.)
re: FoodDabbler
You can order whatever wine you want...
IF they have distribution in MA.
i.e. if it is available at ANY store in MA, any OTHER store can order it.
re: StriperGuy
I should add that some wines - including the 2007 dominus - are allocated and not every store can get them while other wines including Dunnhof can be ordered and received by any store. I was trying to make the point that any store would do as long as you already knew what you want to order.
That said, not every wine comes into the Mass market as noted by StriperGuy.
re: cambridgedoctpr
To say that buying a wine like Dominus 07 makes a wine shop is great is just plain silly. Anyone can buy it with a few clicks on their puter..amd a reasonable CC lmit. It's 120-150 btl.
Maybe your other recs are more in line with what people are looking for.
re: 9lives
i bought the 2007 for 118; you cannot ship wines to mass by the way.
re: cambridgedoctpr
You can't...
there are 100 ways around that,
$118 is a good price.
My original statement re Dominus still has not been dented.
Enjoy it ,,,really..give it some time to age and develop..10yr, more?? As I'm sure you know,3-4 yrs is not nearly enough.
re: 9lives
"there are 100 ways around that"
Can you tell us one?
re: FoodDabbler
No, I won't assist you in commiting a crime.
Question for you..Do you have parents, friends that live in a nearby state?
re: 9lives
I have no friends.
(The nearby state bit I know.)
re: FoodDabbler
Buy a big boat and register offshore...maybe use RI of NH as a US contact.
re: FoodDabbler
I have a super discount out of state store ship some hard to find whiskys and the like to me all the time. I did have one fedex bumped back once. They just reshipped and it made it through the second time.
re: 9lives
i am drinking my 1991 dominus now; i am waiting on my 1994 dominus
re: cambridgedoctpr
Good and I'm sure it's wonderful.
I have quite a few cases of first growth Bordeaux from the mid 80's that are just starting to open up but still need a few hours decanting.
Sorry if I was testy the other night. I firmly believe that any trophy wines like a Dominus or Mouton Rothschilds is relatively easy to find. There's a case of your 07 Dominus in CT right now for a few $ more than you paid. I may have a friend pick it up for me; although I'm losing my desire to buy wines that need to rest for 10+ years..:)
To me the test of a great wine shop is a shop that can sell me a $10 wine that tastes like a $20 bottle or a $30 that tastes like a $50, etc...and something I wouldn't have the time to find because of time limitations. That's where a good wine shop "adds value" for me.
It doesn't require a great wine shop to sell me a $100 or $500 bottle that tastes great. I can do that on my own.
re: cambridgedoctpr
The Massachusetts wine law isn't that straight forward. You can have wine shipped within Massachusetts. I order from wine.com all the time and have no problem with shipping.
re: StriperGuy
It doesn't seem terribly helpful to generalize here. Perhaps some large wine stores have knowledgeable staff. Perhaps some small stores engage in the kind of "hand-holding" which is so cavalierly dismissed above, fuzzy, uninsightful, whatever.
If one can develop a relationship at _any_ store with one or more of the staff/owners who know their stuff , that does more over time to increase your chance of buying wines you enjoy at the price points you can afford than the size of the store. That said, I would rather do so at a smaller store, because it is generally easier to get into lengthy conversations about, and even impromptu tastings of, the wines. Also, in certain cases, a small store may have a particular slant and agenda, wines and regions that they are particularly passionate about. That is invaluable for those of us who don't already know everything about everything: we learn from the passion of others, not merely from their knowledge.
Such smaller stores are to be sought out and celebrated...
re: khandha
Rather then tell me how WRONG I am, why don't you discuss some wine stores and experiences that you have in counter to my stated preference for bigger stores, with more knowledgeable staff, and better prices.
I've certainly given plenty of examples to support my opinion.
re: StriperGuy
Every experience I've had at Wine Bottega and Central Bottle has been great. Each person who works at either shop is friendly, passionate about wine, and can describe every wine in the store in detail. I've often had to make the person move on from a description because after (s)he has described the wine (s)he has gone into detail about the climate of the vineyard and anecdotes about the winemaker's family. I'm much more likely to get a wine that I haven't had before, really enjoy, and is interesting.
Many of my experiences at larger stores has gone something like this:
Me: I have a dinner party tonight and I'm looking for a wine that will go well with braised shortribs.
Staff: OK, no problem. [Walks me over to an end cap or CA cabernets]. This one here [wine I can get at any large store] has a good amount of acid and smooth tannins [or other generic description]. It should stand up well to the shortribs.
Me: I've had that wine. Do you have anything from another region that you'd recommend?
Staff: Umm, sure. [Walks me over to the Rhones or Southern Italian wines, grabs a wine, and gives me a similar generic description]. This wine got 91 points from Wine Spectator and we're having a sale on it.
My most common experience at the large stores is getting sold a wine they want to move or a recommendation for something I could get anywhere else. Many of the wines are good, but for me they often lack personality and interest. Maybe if I went regularly and developed a relationship with someone, my experience would be different. But my first (and second) interactions with the staff plus seeing the same wines at the large stores don't inspire me to build that sort of relationship.
And it's tough to compare prices because the big wine stores just don't sell many of the wines carried by places like Central Bottle, Wine Bottega, Brix, Formaggio, etc.

re: DoubleMan
I hear ya. And I agree that if you get stuck with the junior person who just happens to be out on the floor the scenario you described is for SURE what you'll get at some of the bigger places.
I find in the smaller places, unless you actually get the owner, you get the same thing just with a veneer of understanding.
When someone still wet behind the ears is giving me the 12 minute lecture on microclimate and the merits of some newly rediscovered grape (which I know more about then they do) I just find it annoying. To me it sounds like they just memorized a script. And likely once they get into grad school, they will never work in a wine store again.
I do make sure to go the extra mile to actually seek out a wine person at a bigger store, and I develop the relationships over time.
I personally don't actually care much about the microclimate or the owner's mom who has stomped the grapes barefoot since the days when they loaded the grapes in an oxcart ;-) though that stuff can be fun sometimes.
In the end that's all just marketing, a different, plusher, persumably more sophisticated marketing, but marketing.
For me it's about the wine. Even with my favorite wine guys, I don't need the 15 minute prose-poem about why this wine is wonderful... just let me taste it.
I was just in Marty's in Newton and had run a little low on Spatlese Riesling, a personal favorite. I am rather particular to Rieslings from the Mosel.
The wine guy practically gushed about the last three bottles they had just marked it down from $26 a bottle to $13.
He said it was his favorite Spatlese in the store for under $50 and he was very sad these were the last three bottles... There were no points, no reviews, no big name, it was a fairly obscure wine, and when I opened it... it was excellent.
A chacun son gout.
re: DoubleMan
i recommend that you go to one place; attempt to get the maximum discount by throwing all your business to them. And get to know one person who will learn something about your taste and will be helpful in advising you and perhaps giving your preference for allocated items.
re: cambridgedoctpr
If this is your strategy, I think this is at least one of many instances in which StriperGuy's preference for places with very large selections can help a lot.
re: cambridgedoctpr
I've largely adopted this strategy (particularly for "daily" type wines and been pleased with the result.
I'd rather be a very good customer at 1 or a few smaller shops than a not so good customer at many shops.
Keep in mind, I am limited in my wine buying by being carless and have nearly everything delivered. Stores mentioned like Gordon's or Martignetti's are not realistic options.
re: StriperGuy
I don't because it was not my intention to discuss particular wine stores.
Not sure what you disagree with in my post...
I think it is lovely that you prefer larger wine stores, and I have no wish to "counter" that preference. But to go beyond that and suggest that smaller stores have nothing to offer the serious wine consumer seems a bit much.
re: khandha
I buy at a number of wine shops for diferrent reasons, long time friendships, fish together.
ex..This past Sat, we were invited to friends and the meal was going to be Italian. We went to Ciraces in the NE, told Jeff about the meal and our price range. He suggested several bottles that matched up perfectly.
I'm not going to say that Ciraces is the "best" wine shop but they have their strengths..and it was the best wine shop for me at this particular time.
Being carless limits my options but I usually buy from Brix or Wild Duck/Bottles. I liked Wine Bottega on Hanover in past years but ownership has changed and staff I lked has moved on..and for personal reasons, I shop there less frequently.

re: StriperGuy
Hmmm. Not my pics for "serious" wine buying. Maybe the places to go to buy a case of Mark West pinot, but... I actually like Brix and Formaggio, especially the latter for organic and small batch wines. My faves are Solera in Roslindale Village, and Macy's in West Roxbury--i have never been sold a bad bottle of wine at either place that the staff chose for me. They always stick to my budget and they are fun to work with.
re: erwocky
Federal Wine & Spirits should have been on my list too. But, I always think of it as my go-to place for Bourbon and Irish whiskey and to recommend for spirits. I find myself so distracted by the first floor that I often forget to go downstairs.
Doubleman makes a great point about Violette. What we love from there are the unfiltered, unfined, atypical examples he hunts down. He carries a some wines that I adore but would never serve to anyone who is not enamored with that type of wine.
This is a great conversation. StriperGuy's picks are good ones for those who follow his wine path so they are a wonderful addition here. Boshtx won't be the only person using this list and others may want what exactly SG does.
There are few times when this community is of one voice but that is a great thing. The greater audience that reads without comment, can follow the voices that have worked for them in the past. And, I'm going to give a look at some of the place SG listed.

re: BostonZest
"There are few times when this community is of one voice but that is a great thing."
I don't agree. We must all speak with one voice and never disagree.
re: FoodDabbler
I agree!
Anyone who disagrees should be hung from their thumbs and fed cheese whiz, hot pockets, and blush zinfandel until they repent! ;-).
I would add Lower Falls Wine Co. (in Newton Lower Falls), for having an interesting collection of reasonably priced wines, very knowledgeable staff, and some of the best free wine tastings of any store. They also have a room of higher end wines, which are often at better prices than many other stores.
re: RichardA
Another vote for Lower Falls Wine Co. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff and I agree, some of the best free tastings anywhere.
I also like Central Bottle a lot, both for the wine and for the cheese and salumi selections, as Penny points out above. They have almost nothing under $10, but once you get up to $15 or so they have a lot of interesting bottles. I haven't looked there for anything much more expensive, but based on my experiences so far I would trust them to steer me right.
I also go to Marty's and Brookline Liquor Mart - the latter primarily for its tastings which can be interesting although there's a lot of plonk as well - but Marty's staff is not helpful unless you're already very well-informed and specific about what you want.

When I'm not shopping at a big mega store like Kappy's or Sav-Mor (90% of the time) I like to talk to the wine staff at Brix (South End), Dave's Fresh Pasta (Davis Square) and Ball Square Fine Wines (Ball Square).

re: yumyum
Had a great experience at Dave's last night when I was seeking a nebbiolo that wouldn't break the bank. The knowledgeable but not douchey wine guy showed and described 3 bottles, a straight neb and a couple of blends with a high percent of neb. Guy asked me how much I wanted to spend and I said I didn't know how much I'd need to in order to get a decent bottle. He told me what price point to expect and then showed me the wines that were there or below it (and one very spendy one just for fun!) He knew the location of the vineyards and offered understandable descriptions of the wines and had specific recommendations (decant 3 - 4 hours before drinking, especially with the straight on non-blend.)
I'd encourage folks to check out the wines and talk with the staff at Dave's next time you're in.

That was probably Sam. Both he and Felisha are very knowledgeable and always happy to help.

I find Dave's to be very hit and miss. I have wound up with some 'pour out' bottles based on their reccs.
For good recommendations, the Wine & Cheese Cask in Somerville has never steered me wrong (despite their sometimes poor service). Gordon's has scored me some hard to find bottles as well.
re: Gabatta
When David Raines was there, Gordon's was my all around fav.
For those of us south of town (many of these recommendations are for west of Boston) I highly recommend Esprit du Vin in Milton. Keith and Linda are the couple who own the store and are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Keith recently helped me track down a case (for my father) that was nearly sold out in Mass. from some friends of his in local restaurants, and I really appreciated the extra leg work he put in. Being in Milton, they have a lot of high end customers and cater to those folks, but I live on the other side of the river in Dorchester, and rarely buy any bottles over $20, and they are always helpful/non-judgmental in helping me find exactly what I want. They also have the best cheese selection in the Milton/Dorchester/Quincy area in my opinion.

re: MaggieCat
Well thanks so much to all of you for posting such great info and suggestions. I ended up at Wine Bottega in the North End and I'll tell you that my 30 minutes or so with Matt were awesome. He was enthusiastic, very interested in listening to my questions and then guiding me with insight and great choices (and often suggesting very modest price points). He fixed me up with a mixed case and I'm grateful for finding such a fun interesting wine store. Thanks again.

re: boshtx
Hmm. Interesting. When I lived in the North End, I liked Wine Bottega, but thought it was pricey. Then again, I had less money then! You know, surprisingly enough, I have found a few good bottles on the higher end at Trader Joes in Brookline. Not something I would take to a swanky dinner party, but definitely something I would enjoy for an evening with friends.

re: terrilynn
I love Wine Bottega - boshtx had it exactly right. They are enthusiastic and knowledgable without being intimidating. I have certainly had occassions when I spent a lot of money there (for me!) but often I don't, and they never make me feel like I am wasting their time if I just want an inexpensive botte for an everyday dinner.

re: dlin2007
I don't, but almost right across the street (in the same parking lot as Starbucks) is Winestone, which I love. It's a little shop, with almost nothing I've ever heard of, and great staff--I regularly ask for suggestions around $15 and under (with the occasional splurge bottle) and they are always helpful and gracious.
I love Solera in Roslindale Village, The wonderful Aussie gentleman there has never made a bad recommendation. I now go in and he makes a case and I have loved every bottle. I also like him, smart, to the point, and he knows his wines. Plus, he loves what he does, so he's always open to a little fun and a little daring. Definitely worth the trip.
My number one store is Curtis Liqours in Weymouth. Ask any of the retailers you deal with and they'll tell you how well respected their staff is. I also like Bin Ends. It is hit or miss but that's the concept. Lower Falls in Newton has a small selection but the quality is high. Their tastings are great. Marty's is not what it used to be. The low end of the scale is boring. The high end too expensive. I like Wine Bottega, its similar to Lower Falls. For the size of Martignetti's I would expect more off the beaten path wines but I've given up trying to find them there.

re: AndOne
Too funny, I am 3/4 of a mile from their for work 2X a month. Will have to check it out.
re: StriperGuy
I'd be very interested to hear what you think of Curtis. If you frequented Marty's in the 90s you'll see some familiar faces on staff. The shelf talkers in the store are written by the wine manager who may have the most well respected palate of anyone in metropolitan Boston. Just ask his peers or any distributor you know. The place is chock-a-block full of Solomon, Rosenthal, Weygandt and Thiese. The emphasis is on European wines. The fact that I'm the first to mention this on this thread makes it the hidden gem among metropolitan Boston wine shops. I urge all of you to give this place a whirl. You won't be disappointed.
I go to three shops: Wine and Cheese Cask in Somerville is my first choice and is consistently great. I have been buying most of wine here for 15 years. I have never yet heard anyone in the store mention Parker or Wine Spectator points. I have never been steered wrong, and the selection is very interesting. I think of them as the ideal store for the under $25 bottle, which is where I drink. (They have lots of more expensive bottles, but their focus is on the mid-range) The three main wine guys (Steve, Jim, and the owner, Dan) are knowledgeable and never condescending.
For the over-$25 bottle, I think that Federal Wines in downtown Boston is pretty good. The attitude is different than the Cask - -a little more pretentious -- but the recommendations are always great.
Recently, I have also been shopping at the Atlas Wine and Liquor in Medford. The wine buyer is very knowledgeable, and among the popular labels, she brings in some interesting wine that I do not see elsewhere. There is a little too much reliance on "points" for my taste, but I have had some very good bottles from there and have picked up some great bargains.
Dave's Fresh Pasta has been hit or miss for me. Some real good bottles and some mediocre ones. Worth the visit though.
Despite our arcane liquor laws, we are pretty lucky to have so many great wine shops around. Imagine living in a state with state-run stores.
re: weg
Bingo! I think you hit the nail on the head. Different stores have different strengths.
Most of us have a comfort zone when it comes to price. If I have 3 friends dropping by to see a movie, it's probably a $10-20 bottle. If I just went fishing, it's a 6 pack of something cold. I'd love to see the look on the face of my friends if I told them I had an 82 Margaux that was drinking well..Hope you're not too thirsty. It needs to breathe for a few hours..:) Nice dinner for 2 is in the 30-50 range
That's a long way of saying, there isn't a "best." If I want a good Italian wine, I go to Jeff Cirace; who's likely tasted most of the wine in the store. If I want a nice dinner wine for me and some close friends, it probably came from Brix or Wild Duck/ Bottles..under30-40; also good for lower priced; which in fact is the largest part of the market by far.. At $100+, it's not likely that the salesperson has tasted the wine.Upper end, Federal is great; but I already have what they have in my cellar so I rarely buy there....and I have a tough time openining a $100+ bottle unless it's a very special occassion....even though it's stting there in my cellar. I could be mistaken but I think of Fedeal as having a higher end focus.
If you drink in the mid/ lower price range, you'll do well to develop a relationship with someone at 1 of the many shops named; find the guy or girl whose taste calibrate to yours and buy there. Enjoy.

A driver who killed two bystanders while performing a stunt has received a death sentence from Saudi Arabian authorities. The driver, known as Mutannish in court records, will be beheaded.
His death has not yet been scheduled. Mutannish had been engaged in the Saudi pastime of drifting, making his car spin and skid at high speeds, when he lost control and plowed into a crowd of men. The practice is also known as hagwalah, and also can include purposely driving in the wrong direction. The video above shows an example of the practice.
Mutannish fled the scene and was later arrested, reported the Saudi newspaper Al Watan.
In a similar case, a driver who killed three while drifting was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005. But the thrill-seeking problem is growing, and many in the Saudi kingdom read Tuesday's harsher sentence as a warning to others.
In its formal report, the court of Onaiza, which handed down the sentence, authorities wrote that beheading was a suitable punishment "for his heinous deed and to deter others who tamper with the nation's security."

There are the players who know how to win games and know what it takes to win championships, they just have to keep reminding themselves about that."
Reflecting on that poor sequence in the autumn of 1996, which was preceded by a 5-0 defeat at Newcastle a few weeks earlier, Gary added: "We went on to win the title that season. You take the setbacks - it's how you react to them.
"It's a great chance on Saturday to right a wrong, if you like, or to put the balance back from that FA Cup defeat. We have injury problems, which are having an effect on the team at the moment, but this is a great chance to bounce back.
"The five defeats at home so far this season have been very disappointing and it is something we have got to turn around. We need to give the fans at Old Trafford something to shout about. Swansea are a good side, but a win for us on Saturday would be a huge step forward."

velasmooth vs velashape - I think many people are confused when they hear about the velashape machine and you should always ask your provider specifically which machine they are using. The Velashape is the new version of the velasmooth and it is more effective and the only machine currently FDA approved for both cellulite and circumferential reduction.

Stankonia deep cut "Red Velvet" holds one of those telling lines that goes a long way toward explaining the modus operandi of Big Boi: "Ball if you want to, but do it with some class, G." The man who's been misleadingly depicted as the less outlandish half of OutKast only looks that way next to a once-in-a-decade visionary like Andre 3000. In his own context, and in the world of veteran-status big-name hip hop, he's ruthlessly creative and beholden to nobody's terms but his own. 2010's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty became notorious not only as a repeatedly delayed casualty of an industry that had no idea what to do with his avant-club-rap vision, but as one of those rare records to survive that contemporary major-label gauntlet to emerge as a bona fide classic. The upcoming Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors promises to be even more wide-ranging: The ATL icon has tuned his ears to indie-friendly collaborators like Little Dragon and Phantogram's Sarah Barthel, while still keeping Dirty South mainstays like Big K.R.I.T. and UGK in the collaborative mix. Expect at least a few verses from the long string of LPs that made OutKast immortal. 18+.

Yes, Mr. President. We can see you.
As band after band passed by the White House viewing stand, a standing President Barack Obama bobbed his head and bopped to the beat, a giant grin on his face.
His wife, Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia did a bit of chair dancing, and craned their necks to see the performers.
They, too, eventually stood up, and followed Obama -- bobbing their heads and clapping their hands.

HANA FINANCIAL, INC. v. HANA BANK
- 2010-2019
In the spring of 1994, Hana Bank, a Korean entity, began to extend its services to the United States under the name Hana Overseas Korean Club. In advertisements distributed during the summer of 1994, Hana Bank included the name "Hana Overseas Korean Club" in English as well as "Hana Bank" in Korean. The advertisements also included Hana Bank's logo, known as the "dancing man." A second, distinct entity, Hana Financial, Inc. (HFI) was founded in California in the fall of 1994. In 1996, HFI obtained a federal trademark for their logo, a pyramid, with the words "Hana Financial" for use in financial services. Hana Bank officials were aware of HFI's use of the name Hana Financial but did not see the need to take any action because the entities did not directly compete with each other. In 2007, HFI filed a complaint against Hana Bank alleging trademark infringement. The district court jury found that Hana Bank had used the "Hana Bank" trademark in the United States continuously since before HFI began using the "Hana Financial" trademark in 1995 and that Hana Bank's trademark could be "tacked" to their 1994 advertisements, which included a similar, but distinct use of the phrase "Hana Bank." HFI appealed, claiming that the determination of whether a trademark may be "tacked" to a prior mark is a question of law that must be determined by the court, not a question of fact that may be decided by a jury. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the affirmed the jury's decision.
Is the determination of whether a trademark may be tacked to an earlier mark a question of law which a court must decide, or a question of fact for the jury?
