When I first walked into Wine Sense on Park Ave I thought it would be pretentious and intimidating. I was totally surprised! They had a wide selection of wines with helpful little wall placards describing the unique characteristics of each varietal, and telling you what types of foods pair well with it. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were a couple bottles open for sampling. The staff member we spoke with was friendly and helpful. The prices seemed to be on par with other liquor stores in town, although I wasn't comparing prices on any specific labels. They had lots of bottles in the $10-20 range. A good place to check out if you want to learn more about wine.
