Another Wine Blog: Where is the best place to buy wine?

  • Steve · 1 year ago
    I just visited the Spec's downtown. A pretty cool store! It reminded me a little bit of Trader Joes (which I miss whole heartedly) A very impressive, if not a little bit intimidating, wine selection. So often I go into these places and can spend at least an hour or more just looking at wine labels. (It makes me think about how my mother used to drag me to the fabric store...I could have killed myself from boredom....would a child do the same in a wine store?) Anyways, I can easily say it's the largest selection of wine that I've come across in Houston...(I've only been here a year and a half) Can't wait to go back.

    The downtown Spec's can be a little intimidating due to the warehouse-style displays. The one down here in Clear Lake is a lot more shopper friendly, although the selection is a little smaller than downtown, but I don't think it is by too much. The wine is displayed in a way that you can stroll the aisles and see every bottle.

    As for children, I can assure you that it is EXACTLY like spending the afternoon shopping with mom, except that mom or dad are enjoting themselves (due to the samples) a whole lot more.
