I'm in the Hilo area, BTW. Indeed, Longs and KTA are where poor people
like me find some wine we can afford. (occasionally) Unfortunately both
stock mostly "same-old" high volume American and Australian "major labels".
(i.e. 100 brands of merlot and chardonnay...weeee...) I like the cheaper
Europeans, because I'm into variety and trying new things, but they're
usually way overpriced here. Island Naturals has a smaller selection of
decent looking wines, for just a few dollars more. Worst of all, good
German rieslings, my particular weakness, are the hardest to find here.
