goodygoody.com in dallas has over 200 listed with prices. they seem to be about 20% higher than specs.
texas is unique in that at least in dallas, they do not have a three tier system. many of the retail stores have a wholesale division.
you can go on line and check prices yourself. i buy little in dallas. i usually check one 50 lb luggage, which is 11 bottles of wine.
We need a wine shop like Majestic or Specs here in Minneapolis. Surdyk's is a nice place to go but they have very little South American wine, even though I'm sure we could ask to order some.
One other place I've found helpful when looking for wine is
www.wine-searcher.com. They can offer a listing of places that carry a wine and vinage you're looking for and seem to have a pretty good listing of Argentine wines (although you get a limited list if you're not a subscriber).
