    Sabatini's in Exeter, PA (about 7-8 miles from downtown WB) has a great selection. It's an Italian restaurant but they have an excellent bottle selection...make sure you ask for the bottle menu as the bottles are not limited to what they have in the cooler out front.

    Krugel's Georgetown Deli & Beer http://www.georgetowndeli.com/ Decent selection here but pricier than a larger retailer like Wholefoods obviously. Check bottle dates on hoppier stuff too.

    Cheers!

    Prices inline or slightly higher than Wegs, better selection J&H Beer, up the road from the casino:

    If you can get there during their limited hours, Breaker Brewing:

    If you want to see what $8-9 million will buy you when opening a brewery, Susquehanna Brewing. Top of the line brew house,etc. Only open on Sat. 2PM for tours in the winter:

    Get to Sabatini's if you can, great selection.
    Krugel's prices are hysterical on a lot of things, center city philly pricing right here in NEPA.

    Thanks! Great info. Saved all this to a google map for the trip. Not sure what our plan are going to be. Thought it might be fun to grab some good bottles to share during the wedding. Might need a place to watch the Pats beat the Broncos on Sunday :slight_smile:
