[quote=Anonymous]Pentagon Row.  Rte. 123 in Tyson's (just west of the 123/7 interchange).  There may be others.

There's one on at Mid-Pike Plaza on Rockville Pike, but that's Montgomery freaking County, so -- no wine.

PP's are right that it depends on what you're looking for.  If you're opening $50+ bottles of wine, not your place.  You used the words "stock up" and "moderately priced," so I think you'll do fine there.  Their selection is not huge, but if I recall (I haven't been in awhile), almost everything was reliable and drinkable.  It's the mass-produced, widely available stuff, but that doesn't mean it's bad.  If you're looking for $20 California Cabernet that doesn't suck and will keep a crowd happy, they'll have it.

Stay between $12 and $25 and you'll be fine.  If there's any real plonk there, it'll probably be under $10.

The nice thing about places like Calvert Woodley or MacArthur is that they have the high-end snobs covered, but they can also turn you on to good non-mass-produced $10 wine that you won't find at big non-wine stores.  They can find something for everybody.  But not everybody can make it to their one-store, in-city locations.
