Grocery store with great wine selection in Mendocino?

It's been a while since we went to Mendocino, but I remember one grocery store we went to with a fantastic selection of Mendocino wines. Sort of like Corti Brothers in Sacramento.

It might have been in nearby Ft. Bragg. Anyone know what I am talking about?

There was a good one in Mendocino (town or) operated by Mark Bowery, right on the "boardwalk". Don't know if that's still applicable.

Best wine store I know of now is SIP! Mendocino, right on the main drag in Hopland, next to the post office.

Great people too, that know everything there is to know about Mendo wine.

Hm, Hoke, thanks for your input. I was sure you would know what my fuzzified brain was thinking of. The odd thing is that I can picture it now, you walked in through the door and made a sharp left into the wine section which was loaded with gems. Not just the Coro that you'd "expect" to see at a good wine shop, but lots of good Mendocino choices as well as semi-geeky Euro stuff. Sigh.

I will pass on the tip about Sip.

Thanks,
Walt
