Honestly, my favorite place to buy wine is the Trader Joe's in Old Town. The selection is huge and the staff is super knowledgeable. I always leave with at least a few specially-selected wines for a good price. Speaking of, I need to stop by soon!

Grape and Bean - they always save me with a great recommendation before dinner parties with my wine enthusiast friends!

Le Tastevin....the selection of a true fine wine at an excellent price. No one in Old Town is doing what they are doing!

Le Tastevin. I love the selection, its locally owned, and the staff are extremely knowledgeable about wine and wine-food paring.

I'll go with Grape and Bean but Le Tastevin is promising. That said, the real answer is Ballducci's though I know it's not a wine shop. It has the broadest selection and regular discounts that actually do bring the price down to reasonable levels.
