When picking wine it's best to research to the best of your own ability before making selections. Sometimes, however, you just want to rely on what you hope is a knowledgeable staff to guide you. I've done that twice now here and have ended up disappointed both times with wines whose flavors are starting to fade or spoil. It's almost as if they're instructed to prioritize the movement of old, dicey product over what would be a safer bet for what you desire. Both times I was asking for bang-for-your-buck wines (under $20), so maybe I just didn't merit true consideration.

Anyway, I've become pretty decent at finding my own good buys and will rely on myself more from here on out.
