Description:
DUPONT CIRCLE. More than your typical wine store, this expansive shop features a great selection in an environment that isn't the least bit intimidating. Lifelong oenophiles will love this store, as will those who barely know the difference between a merlot and a chardonnay. Hundreds of wines in custom-made steel display cases line the walls, organized according to taste instead of region of origin. Have a knowledgeable staffer help you make the perfect choice from the eclectic selection. And the best part – all of the inventory is surprisingly affordable. |
