If the supermarket isn't quite the place you would choose to buy your wine, the independent wine store is what you want.  If you want something a bit more "special" and want the service that goes with it, then look for a wine store that specializes in, well... wine!

The staff at these types of establishments are well versed in what makes a good wine.  They can recommend not only a vintage, but also the "right" glass to serve it in. 

Most of these stores let you sample the wine before you buy - something your local supermarket does only with big sales.  They also usually deliver for free (depending on where you live) and may lend you glassware and accessories for your big party. 

Check with them in advance... And it's always a good idea to build a relationship with your local, independent wine store.  With the amount of competition in today's market, they will value your loyalty as much as you value their expertise.
