Here are a handful of other facts about the place that bear mentioning:<BR/><BR/>- Their hours are far better than any other wine store that I know of (open until 11am M-Th, 12am on F and Sat.).<BR/>- They'll soon be delivering via bike WITHOUT any surcharge (don't know what'll happen come wintertime when the biking is impossible).<BR/>- One of the guys who runs the place is also a bartender at Bluebird over on Damen. No real point here, just an interesting tidbit. <BR/><BR/>I bought a couple bottles based on their recommendations, but, in a confusing fit of restraint, I haven't drank them yet. So, no idea if their taste is any good.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667040404932955707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448052092422902094.post-59781242730849367852008-07-25T11:00:00.000-05:002008-07-25T11:00:00.000-05:00Same prices, good selections, but they just opened...Same prices, good selections, but they just opened, so it's not fully stocked. They had a good vibe going on in there, but if you forgot your bottle of vino if you're heading to Irazu, they're mad convenient! ;)312 Dining Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173554129262185422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448052092422902094.post-42299053611646707542008-07-25T10:55:00.000-05:002008-07-25T10:55:00.000-05:00So Red & White Wines gets a good review?

The closest and best wine shops to me are Cellar Rat and Wine Discount Center, but neither is as close as Red & White is so I'd love to make it my new shop. How does it compare to those places?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667040404932955707noreply@blogger.com
