5. Just type in the address you are looking for.
I think you can also search based on business name, though they may not have all wine shops listed.

7. Here's what to do.
There is a tool bar (on my computer its on the lower left side.

Under primary database, select "places of interest". The first one listed is "bars/clubs". that should get you to a boxed wine dealer. :rofl:

There are other selections, also. just click on the establishment type you want to be shown.

:hi:
