Gerald, I am re-reading your post 30 March 07, which in part says: "the easiest dc store to reach is probably addi bassens macarthur liquors. they are very knowledgeable and have a fabulous selection,, but are very busy. last time there, they were too busy to wait on me as I was only purchasing 8 cases of better German Riesling."
I finally visited this shop yesterday. I was really happy with their selections. No one was too busy to help me and spend time with me. It was a great experience and I will be going back in 11 days. Their prices are right -- tax at 10%, puts it back about even though ;-))
Thanks so much. Dee
