Buying Wine, Step 1: Pick A Wine Store. By: TastingSpace | - I'm not a wine connoisseur. I don't even own a decanter. (Some of my married friends own several.)

My only problem is knowing which bottle to pick. If you put me in a wine store with over a thousand bottles, I either need a sommelier or a psychiatrist.
