Neighborhood liquor store just around the corner from my parent's house. The owner is pretty nice and the place is never packed, so he's usually willing to give you some advice and offer you tastings if he has an open bottle. Additionally he offers tastings every Friday.
Also always ask if he has any specials on cases or bottles. I think he has a few friends that offer him specials, which he in turn offers his customers if you buy a case.
I usually just go in name a price point and a type of wine and I am given several options. They're also pretty well versed in other types of alcohol and will offer you cheaper alternatives to some of the name brand stuff.
