Their "warehouse" store (on Sunset, for those who want to find it) is mind-boggling. While I don't know if it qualifies as "the biggest," I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't pretty damned close.

Lee’s Discount Wine & Spirits is the biggest retailer of wines in this area. Their “warehouse” store (on Sunset, for those who want to find it) is mind-boggling. While I don’t know if it qualifies as “the biggest,” I wouldn’t be surprised if it weren’t pretty damned close.

Sadly, Atlanta, in spite of having a population of more than 4 million people, and after 10 years of major development and gentrification in intown neighborhoods, we still don't have any wine stores of significant size. The few small ones near me have good selections and prices but they're still small. Even worse, as a result of the paucity I am forced to buy some wines through the 'net but our draconian distributor protection laws severely limits my choices.<BR/><BR/>Can someone remind me why I continue to live in Georgia?

I'm not sure of the square footage or revenue, but it is pretty impressive. How about Applejack in Denver? I’m not sure of the square footage or revenue, but it is pretty impressive.
