Whole Foods Wine And Spirits

Is already open. Wow, that was quick. The Camera just reported last Friday that the Pearl Street Whole Foods would be taking over the space next door, occupied by Ace Liquor, and lo, they opened as Whole Foods Wine & Spirits yesterday. So in the space of just a few weeks, we now have two Boulder natural grocery markets (the earlier one being Alfalfa's) with their own liquor outlets. As always, it will remain to be seen how this will work in terms of selection and price, but the convenience is obvious. I checked a couple of prices today when I saw the Whole Foods store had opened, and they definitely could be bought for less elsewhere, but then there's the ever upward spiral of the price of gas, not to mention one's time. The Whole Foods store also has something to possibly rival Trader Joe's famed Two Buck Chuck; they have an exclusive wine line called Three Wishes, selling for $2.99 a bottle (no comment yet on whether it's in fact drinkable). Boulder may still lack a Trader Joe's, but hey, so what?
