I was at Whole Foods Market, La Jolla the other day and noticed a few “new to me” things about their wine section.  To be honest, I forget to look at it sometimes.  By the time I navigate to the other side of the store (I start at the produce side on the left, wine is on the far right), I’m either running low on time or La Jolla Girl is running low on patience.
