There’s certainly value in gigantic wine emporiums, usually in the prices. But we love smaller joints where we trust the owners’ palates and recommendations. Tucked away at the back of Marczyk Fine Foods, the wine shop is small enough to browse in just a few minutes, but chances are you’ll spend a bit more time there, chatting about which Zin will go with that grilled lamb you’re making or that inexpensive white Côtes du Rhône in the funny-shaped bottle. No matter what, you’ll leave with something you feel good about. Bonus: Marczyk is opening a new store this summer on East Colfax Avenue, which will also have a wine shop. 770 E. 17th Ave., 303-894-9499, www.marczykfinefoods.com/wine-store
