Passover Wines from the PCLB?

Has anyone investigate the kosher wine offerings at the state stores? I know their selection is quite limited, but I don't have the time and/or energy to go trekking all over the place. Anyone have any recommendations from what is there?
Thanks!

    1. Our answer will have to wait until after Passover, but the good news is that the selction at our state store has really improved. We bought a nice variety of wines from Israel. Make sure you visit a store in a community where stocking such a variety makes sense for the store - if it's close, try ours, Narberth.
      Happy Passover

          I bought an excellent Israeli white last year from the Devon store. Happy Passover!

              It is unfortunate that some of us have to go from store to store looking for decent Kosher wines. In suburban Paoli, only basic Mani-koolaid. The manager said she didn't know why they didn't have others.

                  Listen, Sagestrat, there's a new state store in the Berwyn shopping center where the Acme used to be - on the right side of Lancaster Avenue as you're driving eastbound from Paoli. It's just to the left of the CVS.

                  It says "wine & spirits shop," so I think it's probably the less mass-produced stuff. And if not, by then you'd only be about two miles west of the Devon store, where I *know* they'll have the non-Kool-Aidy kind.

                  In fact, you could even check out one of the wines that looks appealing from the url I posted above, and call the Berwyn store to see if they have it - then you'll know what you're in for before you even drive.
