Some have a pretty big range of German beers, not surprising considering the ownership of Trader Joe's.
I'll check TJ's out the next time I'm there. I hear a lot of people gushing about Costco also. I usually spend two or three weeks a year at company headquarters in NOVA/DC, which is right above a Target. I will even admit to buying wines there more than once on my way out of work last year.

Last night at our house was a perfect example of this thread. Our first bottle of wine was a 25 euro Barolo, brought by a house guest, that was opened with much fanfare and which turned out to be very disappointing. Second bottle was a 6 euro St. Joseph Shiraz from Northern Rhone, which blew everyone away. Go figure
