Hello, My wife of 44 years and I will be visiting for a couple of weeks in early December and this is our first trip to the D.R. other than Cruize ship stops. We are not new to traveling and have visited and stayed at several Islands in the Caribbean over the years but most recently have been spending our winter vacation time on the West Coast of Mexico. After reading many reviews and posts on the Riu Macoa I have leaned that it may be hard to find some nice dry red wines there...., so my major concern is, are there any retail places where I can find good selections of French, Italian, South African, Chilean and Austrailian wines and are the prices similar to what I would find in the USA or should I bring a couple of Black Boxes with me? Also is there anything close to where we will be staying and whats the best transportation methods. Thanks in advance to any assistance.
