About Best Cellars and Joshua

Once a brutish and mean-spirited sommelier who reveled in the extravagance of overpriced pours, Joshua now sips from the cups of carpenters as the chairman and co-founder of Best Cellars - a chain of value-oriented wine stores where the bottles are arranged by taste and priced mostly under a sawbuck.

With award-winning shops in New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, Washington DC and Texas, Best Cellars just might be near enough to drop by the next time you're feeling thirsty. If not, you can always visit the store via the web at bestcellars.com.

Best Cellars calls their selections "Great Wines for Every Day", We think you'll just call them great.
