SEATTLE: Where can I buy boxed wine???

[Crown Prince]

We are staying Friday & Saturday before sailing on Sunday at the Renaissance Hotel, 515 Madison street, Seattle , Wa 98104.

Is there a place close to this hotel to buy wine cubes & 6-packs of coke?

Thank you for your help. :D

Grocery stores in Seattle do sell wine, there is a small store on the corner of 8th and Madison (206-254-0805). I would give them a buzz and see if there sell the wine you are looking for. There is also a liquor store on 2nd and Seneca or there is one on 6th and University.

The "Good Stuff" is sold wherever quality swill can be found. Drug stores, K-mart, warehouse clubs to name a few.

 

You can find it on the shelf next to the Thunderbird.

 

- Drink and enjoy

Actually, box wine and thunderbird are no longer side-by-side in downtown and certain other areas of Seattle! A recent city ordinance intended to alleviate the problem of chronic inebriates bans the sale of fortified wine, high-alcohol malt liquors, and other forms of high-octane hooch! http://www.cityofseattle.net/BAN/public_safety_AIA.htm

 

You might be getting on the amtrak at King Street Station, but you won't be getting on the Night Train!

 

The liquor store at Second and Seneca does generally carry box wine. Can't speak to the other places.

I appreciate your recommendations! :D

 

I'm not real familiar with Seattle - only been there twice (years ago). I'm a Valley Girl (The San Fernando Valley). I'll have to get a Map. ;)

I just received this from the Concierge at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel: ;)

 

"We just got a grocery store in our neighborhood. It is 2 block up Madison (8th & Madison). You will pass it on your way to church. It is called M Street Grocery. Not a large store but they have a good selection of wine and a nice deli. There is a costco in Seattle, but it is way down on 1st ave, past the stadiums. M Street should have everything you need."

We came in early before our Alaskan cruise and found a Safeway near our hotel (not your hotel) and packed a plastic crate with a box of wine, bottled water, Pepsi's, etc.

Hi, MEG: Yes, I do have an extra bed in my Balcony cabin. Can you get to SEA by 23 September? :confused:

I already have the cheese & peanutbutter crackers (miniatures) as well as the minature Oreos - wait, I think I've eaten them all. I'll get another 12-pack or so at Smart & Dumb, a Big Box store.

I'll be buying the Diet Coke & Diet 7-Up (cherry), but we can get you the regular also at that M Street Grocery store.

Since Red Wine gives me a headache, :eek: I drink rose. My favourite wine is Gevertstraminer.

[megr1125]

HAHAHA!! THAT's funny...and i could get there...but i'm kidding...it's funny that you have my snacks though...

 

how long is that cruise BTW??? seeing as 4 other people won my megamillions jackpot of 300 million bucks, i'll have to settle for reading your reports fromthe sea/reviews/whatever........

 

 

 

have fun .....
