Pick up Virginia’s best vino at locally owned, specialty bottle shops like TASTE (eight regional locations), Yianni’s in Virginia Beach, Westside Produce & Provisions and Crystal Palate in Norfolk, Great Bottles in Suffolk, and Bon Vivant in Smithfield. Major retailers like Total Wine, Wegmans Food Market and even Virginia ABC stores are also great sources.
