I guess I should count myself lucky that we get access to Lapierre, Vissoux, and others through Bassin's. Though I think I heard somewhere that the beaujolais isn't selling, like just about everything else, so they might stop bringing them in. That would make me quite sad.
Bell's is still probably a good wine store. They just don't carry that much stuff that I'm interested in. It is very pointy. Their Bordeaux and California sections are huge, which is why I suspect they get the acclaim they do, and they have some interesting Italian wines, but their Loire, Burgundy, and German wines aren't great.
