Paul's Discount Wine & Liquor, Washington

You can’t miss Paul’s Discount Wine and Liquor as you drive along Wisconsin Avenue in upper Northwest DC; and if you do, there’s a bright retro-style neon sign to guide you back. Inside, a current selection of international and domestic wines and spirits are packed into a fairly small space, and the knowledgeable staff helps customers find hidden gems among the stacks. While prices are already low for the area, regular specials can make the tab unbeatable, while a popular newsletter ticks off announcements regarding the arrivals of limited supply bottles. If you can’t decide which wine is right for you, come for Friday Night Wine Tasting, a weekly free event.
