The selection, even at the PLCB, seems to follow the market demand. There's no grocery stores with wine in Southern NJ, Wegman's in Cherry Hill acquired a license but hasn't been able to use it yet. Grocery stores that carry wine are convenient for travelers, but can't match a good independent for selection.TWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592548268341500443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-25847435132031865762009-09-30T21:39:26.026-04:002009-09-30T21:39:26.026-04:00If grocery store wine shopping becomes a reality i...If grocery store wine shopping becomes a reality in PA on a more widespread basis than it already is, it will be even worse. All of the shortcomings of the state stores with an even narrower selection.<br /><br />My point is more that in free states you're much more likely to get uniformly good product and staff that can back it up in an independent wine shop (not a generic liquor store, mind you) than in a super market. The attention can be focused on quality, with quantity allowed to follow naturally. <br /><br />Who knows, maybe I'm just a bad capitalist... or too much of an idealist.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-85010837460868190162009-09-30T20:55:45.627-04:002009-09-30T20:55:45.627-04:00Grocery store wine shopping is worse than the PLCB...Grocery store wine shopping is worse than the PLCB?TWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592548268341500443noreply@blogger.com
