Non-Traditional Places to Look for Wine

A lot of the time, people pick up wine in one of three places: at the grocery store, at a winery, or at a wine cellar store. However, there are a lot of other places to look for wine including food co-ops, corner stores, and discount grocery stores. While some of these places have a reputation for having horrible wine, there can be good finds. For example, 7-11’s Fat Cat Pinot Noir is a decent drinking wine. Grocery Outlet’s Les Deux Rives also is a decent wine (both the red and the white varieties). Trader Joe has some fabulous finds (We found Mollydooker‘s The Boxer Syrah recently), but their Ferme Julien white wine is a good general drinking wine.

Where are some of the unusual places where you’ve found wines? What wines did you like that you found there? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
