McCarthy and Schiering is my favorite wine store. Good selection, knowledgeable friendly staff, range of prices. Joining their Vinter's Select club - $100 for a lifetime membership - gets you advance notice of specials as well as discount pricing on everything from a single bottle to multiple cases. The folks here will take the time to talk with you about your tastes in wine or a meal you're preparing and help you find a match. They'll encourage you to try something different, and I'd trust their recommendations. And they do special orders. Call them if you are looking for something specific and odds are they can find it for you.
There are 2 locations. I use the Ravenna store but hear the Queen Anne store is just as good in terms of selection and staff.
