Very good, though. I said, it's Sunday why not? :-)

Their cab is excellent. I love finding great wines for great prices. Newer vintners can make some damn good wines, but don't have the label yet, so they are cheap. I love Leese-Fitch for the price.

Perhaps. I don't know how well stocked US liqour stores are when it comes to European wines. I know the selection of US wines is often somewhat poor in Swedish stores. Mostly you have to to pre-order wines from smaller US wineries. Which sucks, because a lot of the US stuff you see on the shelf is mass produced bag-in-box bilge.
Perhaps this is regarded as a specialty wine; I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. So try online!

It's going to vary regionally. It varies by state. Around here, "liquor stores" don't sell beer and wine - distilled spirits only. Some grocery stores carry a decent selection of wine - I know of one that has a few thousand varieties.

The typical store is going to have a lot of mass produced swill and perhaps some good stuff.

BTW, I have to echo your recommendation on German white wine - very fine stuff. I'm partial to German Riesling myself.

I enjoy German Rieslings. I particularly like a Mosel region riesling called Clean Slate. Great for a hot day. Wow. I'm going to have to go get a bottle.

Any good unpeated single malt scotch. I'm not fussy.
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Contemplating the Hefeweizen in my fridge. I think it's the last one.

I'm gonna do it.
