Wine Shops In Washington

Hi. I wonder if anybody can give me advice on which wine shops in Washington states has good selection of higher end of French and Italian wines. I live in Vancouver Canada, and selection is very limited and the price is a lot higher than what you get in U.S. I come down to Seattle area and it would be nice if I can get a couple of bottles (that are the limit to go through customs) of nice European wines from the states. Could somebody help me with a few recommendations? Thanks.
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

In the Seattle area, some shops you might visit for European wines are:
McCarthy & Schiering (2 locations)
Esquin Wine Merchants
Champion Wine Cellars
DeLaurenti

I am sure there are others as well.
