They didn't do wine in MD either, due to the strange laws compared to most of the country at this time. But we could go to VA, which on a weekend was 45 minutes away and stock up on "2 buck chuck" (so nicknamed as it is a second label named charles shaw that sold for $2 in the CA stores) for $3.49 a bottle
(higher taxes than CA for wine, but cigarettes were not taxed heavily there for obvious reasons. Yes, I have ALL the bad habits!)
In Mass, where my mom lived, only one city had liquor laws that groceries could sell wine, framingham, so the TJ's there sold it, but it cost almost $5 for 2 buck chuck there. So we only went there one time on a vist, and stuck with VA.
As I understand you live in NY. IF so, you have wegmans. that is the disneyland of supermarkets. I have never seen anything like the ones they had in MD or VA. I would kill for one of those here right along side a TJ's!
