Wine auctions. They're not what they use to be, but there are still deals to be had. Need to be one step ahead of wine trends so you are bidding on wines that aren't as competitive. Fair amount of research on price and quality needs to be considered. Many pay more in auction than just buying it at the store.

Online vendors. Handful of vendors I buy wine from and either ship right away or hold for cooler months to ship.

Private party. "I know a guy, who knows a guy who has some wine..." I am all ears and can keep my mouth shut on the details...
