| | DavidN, how likely am I to find hard-to-find wines at the woodside store if I just drop in? Don't they save all the "good stuff" for good customers like yourself? | | | |

| I really don't buy much from them. Maybe a case a year at the most.
The only store I am familiar with is the San Mateo store. Kevin Forsaith is the retail wine director at Draeger's. Yes he keeps most of the really good stuff in the back. Don't hesitate to ask what's in the back-room. | | | |
