Where do you buy wine?
So, I am still in shock over this NY thing where they don't sell wine in the grocery store. And I have been scouring the neighborhood liquor stores trying to find a place that sells somewhat-decent yet inexpensive bottles. Unfortunately most of the places around here don't have much in the under-$15 range. Also, I like to buy more than a bottle or two at a time, and hauling a case of wine up five flights of stairs is pretty unappealing.
Do any of you use order/delivery services for wine? It looks like FreshDirect has one but the bottles there aren't cheap either. Wine.com? Order direct from a winery? Is it a huge pain in the arse to deal with accepting the delivery, since you have to be home and sign for it?
I know NYC is expensive, but I *have* to believe that there's some way to get my two-buck-chuck fix! Any suggestions appreciated!

Re: Where do you buy wine?
I get it from my local liquor store. The owner is great about explaining the different wines, tastes & prices. He also lets me know when he's getting something good in.
I don't know whether you drive, but there is a trader joe's off exit 15 or 16 on I-87. You could go & stock up.
Hm, yeah, hauling wine upstairs is *definitely* not appealing!!
But there's a Trader Joe's on 14th and 3rd/Irving. DH and i also like Union Square Wines on 13th and 4th. You can become a member and earn points with your purchases and they put it on a card for you and then you can use your points to taste wines that they have around the store! It's so cool! And i think they have a decent price range and very knowledgeable staff.
GL!

I buy most of my wine at my local store, probably the same one as cheeky. I don't drink wine at home very much and usually buy it when I am bringing a gift or having guests. The only time I have bought a case was when I was giving out bottles as holiday gifts. I have heard good things about the stores mentioned above.
