Favorite:

Don't get us wrong; we love "Two Buck Chuck" (Charles Shaw table wine, $1.99 a bottle) as much as the next Trader Joe's customer, and the chain market's non-Chuck wine selection is pretty decent. However  and this is a big "however"  you live in Washington state, home to some of the best wineries in the world. You may want to try some of the local wine stores listed below (except Costco, sheesh) and get a bottle of the local flavor.

1. Other top finalists
2. City Cellars Fine Wines
3. Costco
4. Esquin Wine Merchants
5. Grape Expectations (Silverdale)
6. McCarthy & Schiering
7. Pete's Market

10. The Tasting Room
