Just arrived for the week. Brought a case in my Wine Check, but may want more to share with my relatives here.
I found a Total Wine in the vicinity last year, but if there is something better, please let me know.
Cheers!

Looks like a possibility but probably pricy:
Fairways Wine Vault. I found this to be an excellent find. It’s not much of a retail storefront. Browse their inventory online. Ask for a tour of their storage facility, it’s pretty impressive.
You should check out the shop that adjoins the fantastic restaurant, Bleu Provence. I believe the store is called Bleu Cellar. Small shop, but interesting old world stuff. The restaurant, by the way, is spectacular and has an incredible wine list. The owners are very wine savvy.
+1 on the restaurant, I haven’t seen the Cellar. As for wine stores, Tony’s is a nice place but it is pricey.
A little bit north in Sarasota you might want to check out this

Jeff is a super guy
I came here to post this.
You cannot miss Bleu Provence.
The owner is best friends with Kermit Lynch, and has unbelievable prices on old world gems, but will not let them be purchased for off-site consumption - he’s really strict about it.
He has Clape Cornas from the late 90’s and early 00’s, Allemand, and other gems.
You really can’t miss it.
+1 for the restaurant, which I discovered on a referral from a BB participant 9 years ago.
Chris, Jacques has a great store as mentioned. There is also Decanted on Pine Ridge that has a good selection. T W isnt worth the drive to it IMO except for beer.
Enjoy the sunsets with a bottle of champagne ![]()

Chris, I just saw there was torrential rains and massive flooding in Naples, you OK?
It was a wild rainy day, but pretty harmless. We got in 18 holes at 8:15 and only played the last two in rain (but what an intense rain!). Thanks for your concern.
Thanks everyone for the store suggestions. I don’t know if Bleu will be on the itinerary since it’s a big family gathering trip, but I will try to plan around it next time.
+1 on Bleu (both aspects) and Decanted.
