I'm looking for wine store with a good selection of California as well as international selections for our upcoming New Years eve party. Are there any stores on the Big Island that specialize in wines? I can't find anything on the Hilo side other than the grocery stores. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Is the wine store about 150 feet from Hilo Burger Joint on Kilauea Ave. still open?
Other than that, Kadota Liquors might be an option, but haven't been in there in a couple years or so.
edit to add:
I just googled "hilo wine stores" and was surprised to see this:

No facebook login needed. I guess I need to go back into Kadota's...

According to Newsweek: Island Naturals has a great selection of wine, as well as being the only store left open in the whole State.

Grapes Wine store (yep, only wine) is the one on Kilauea, but moved down (well, almost on Keawe...but same same) across from the little mall with Subway & Lucy's. Randy is quite well versed & does do wine tastings & such...

As recently as 6 months ago there was a wine seller in the middle of the Kea'u marketplace in between the hair cutter and the used stuff store.

Thank You everyone. I'm going to check out Grapes and Kadota today. I believe the Keaau Wine Market is gone. Haven't seen it open in the last 6 months. Also I did some searching and found two in Kona. One is called the Kona Wine Mart across from Home Depot in Kona which I also found out is the most expensive wine store in the state and a place called Westside Wines across from Hilo Hatties in Kona that also has a great selection of cheeses.
