Harrisburg store recommendation

I'm going to be in Harrisburg later this week. Are any of the premium stores there worth visiting (at least, compared with our pitiful store in State College)?

Thanks.

We have friends in Hershey and visit every year or so, and I usually try to make a point of checking out stores in the area when I'm there.

I've been to two good ones although there may be others, not sure. The store on Jonestown Road (#2210) in Harrisburg is pretty nice. It's total suburbia. I met the manager (or maybe it was the premium buyer) a couple years ago and he was a good guy. The store seemed pretty big but it's been a few years and I may have blown that out of proportion in my head, not sure. I have a more recent memory of the store on Mae Street in Hummelstown (#2211) which is just 5 minutes from Hershey Park. It's nice and I would say worth a visit if you're in the area. It's big and airy and has a pretty decent premium collection area with a walk-in temp. controlled room. They actually have a couple bar-type round tables with chairs in the premium area, like you're supposed to sit and sample the wines (as if!).
