QOTD: Whole foods, MoM (My Organic Market) and local Asian markets in Rockville, Maryland.

Best montage ever by Jason Hicks.

QOTD: In Minneapolis, for Cheeses, olive oil, Prosciutto, and baguettes I go to Surdykâ??s Liquors. For deals on larger quantity stuff and milk, I go to Costco. For produce and general groceries, Byerlyâ??s. Occasionally I’ll stop in at a Trader Joe’s or a Whole Foods if I am driving by and need an item.

wow 0 and 3–just proves that your a true wine lover. We all have had that happen but like you said thats how you learn.

I have a bottle of the 2002 Marques De Grinon and have been waiting to open it. I think I’ll wait a little longer and hope for the best!

QOTD:Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Body+Soul(local organic store) Jewel Aldi..it all depends on what I need and how much time I have!

best place to buy food has to be Trader Joes. The prices are better than Whole Foods and you still get quality foods that are good for you and the environment. Also, while Whole Foods has that uptown yuppy east village vibe, Trader Joes feels more homey and has a downhome hippy co-op feel. They have a decent wine selection too.

QOTD: A variety of places. When I’m home on weekends, I like to hit Eastern Market (DC) for meat and produce. For just random grocery shopping (canned goods, etc.) I usually wind up at Safeway, with a few Whole Foods trips thrown in depending on where I am.

Nice bit of production there at the start. Great show.

Better luck next time; in the summer I go to the Greeley, Colorado farmer’s market. Otherwise, I’m at safeway every other day.

Love the opening, it’s great to see the shop. It’s so big!

QOTD – Walmart Grocery Store.

Next time you should just do the drawing but not tell anyone you’re having it. For the True Vayniacs to have a better shot!

It’s cool when you show the shop! I feel envious!!!

Envy: An emotion that occurs when a person lacks anotherâ??s superior quality, achievement, or possession and desires it for themself.

QOTD: I go food shopping most often at WinCo. The prices are great and that leaves more money to buy wine.

Gary, you should do some different Rias Baxias wines such as Godello and Verdejo.. which are just as amazing and can be even more food friendly than Albarino

I go 0-3 often, but it’s the thrill of the hunt and finding the prize that makes it fun!

QOTD: Trader Joes/Costco/Green Valley Ranch Farmer’s Market

Hey Gary, ex-lurker here. I particularly like the 05 Nora. Wish I could buy more but the shipping really kills me. I always wait for the free shipping specials. I’ll pass by when I go by NJ.
QOTD: Usually Publix

Thank you Dash, for reminding me to go back and fill out the form. In my eagerness to change out the badge for a widget a few weeks ago, I forgot to put my URL into the form. . .anybody else??

QOTD-We do most of our food shopping at local green markets in order to reduce the environmental impact of our consumption (costs quite a bit of money and a whole lot of gas to get california oranges to southern florida).

Great show Gary.

QOTD – I try to buy most of my veggies from the local farmers market on Saturdays and we have a small independent whole foods type store I like. I go to Publix (grocery) at last resort. Eat local!

Gary, you mentioned that the PV was lacking something else to blend with. Have you tried the Marques de Griñon Summa Varietalis that you guys also sell? It’s their Syrah, Cab and PV blend. I haven’t tried the 2002, but the 2003 I tried in a restaurant in Spain last summer blew me away!

QOTD. Most of the shopping is done at a local farmer’s market here in Hollywood, FL called Big Irv’s. For our specialty buys we go to Whole Foods, expensive but they have the stuff.

Gary sorry it didnt turn out like you planned. But yeah it happens to us all.

QOTD:
-Safeway usually but sometimes lucky.

In this area we think we have a great wine store when we have over 300 different bottles of wine to choose from!

Of course, that should be obvious by my answer to the QOTD: The Piggly Wiggly

QOTD: Oleson’s Market (in Charlevoix), a small grocery store chain in Northern Michigan.

QOTD – Trader Joe’s, and then Whole Foods for cheese

I didn’t comment yesterday because I would have felt guilty because I rarely comment. But I watch through a video podcast aggregator, not through the site, so the “comment this guy up” links aren’t handy.
