I am referring to $15 to $25 bottles. Who has the best selection with the best prices?

i bounce around. everybody has a few that you can't find at other places. tend to frequent alexanders, calandros and even albertsons. but i'm on this side of town. i'm sure there are some others on the other side of town that are good as well.

I bounce too but wasn't sure if there was a clear cut best option value wise.

Thanks.

Martin Wine Cellar if you want some knowledgeable help that you won't find at Costco or, most of the time, at Calandro's.

I've never been impressed with the BR martin wine cellar. I feel like the people there have a superficial knowledge of wines and the selection is pretty limited.

It seems like it took a cue from BR restaurants and stocks bland and not very complicated wines.

Honestly, fresh market seems to experiment more with their selection and that place might as well be a funeral home, it's always dead in there.

I've had luck with a few Chilean wines and they had some good petit sirahs that didn't seem to be in stock at other places.

I have found Fresh Market to be expensive on just about everything there...so I typically avoid their wine selection because of it.

Calandro's is probably the one I frequent the most, but wasn't sure if I was missing a hidden gem somewhere. It doesn't sound like it.
