Is there any traditional bakery out there to have high quality bread made using sourdough starter?

I grew up in Eastern Europe and the most I miss is quality bread. I mean, when I was a child, we had bakery, and you could tell from a mile away, that is was bakery because of the smell of freshly baked bread loaves. I making my own bread sometimes, but it is time consuming and I'm very busy. I also couldn't make my sourdough starter right to make bread without using commercial yeast. I buy bread mainly from Whole Foods or Wegmann's as they resemble somewhat quality bread. The spongy bread that is everywhere else in regular grocery stores tastes like cardboard to me. I was wondering if there is any place that sells high quality fresh breads in Northern Virginia?

Fresh Baguette in McLean has a decent sourdough. It may work for you.
