Buying good wine in Santa Marta

Can anyone please tell me where I could buy some good wine in Santa Marta? Up to like 30,000 to 60,000 pesos a bottle for a very special occasion. Makro or Exito or Carrefour would be fine, though an independent specialist would be better, so I could ring up and discuss the choice beforehand. I won't have time to shop around so I just need to know a good place to go to get the wine quickly without too much hassle. Thanks, GB

Don't know how they compare pricewise, but I have always found Exito (CC Buenaventura) to have a good selection.

Kr 4 and Cl 23 or 24 -south side of kr4 at the light - we were there today - they sell wholesale by the case and prices seemed reasonable. The outside of the building is advertising liqour. It's next to (Ironically) a place that sells toys.

I always have a problem with white wine in Santa Marta when I buy in Exito and Carrefour. The cork seems to soften due to maybe the weather/humidity/bad storage conditions so I've ruined a few bottles while opening them.

Anyone know if there's a place to get French wine in SM? Usually doesn't survive the journey, but perhaps there's something decentish?
