Wine Source up in Hampden sells it (also mirin and a few bottles of baijiu on the same endcap with the sake/soju).

edit: and, NB: the shaoxing most Asian markets carry is as heavily salted/etc. as the bottles of cooking wine in a supermarket. You need a liquor license to carry the normal/real stuff.

I should've figured Hampden would be the best bet

FWIW I don't think they were first by any stretch, but it was convenient for me to buy sake there before they carried mirin, and one day when I was there for a new bottle of mirin a couple of years back, they had shaoxing as well. I'm sure there are places in EC and around Rockville that have much bigger selections of Asian imports, I've just never bothered looking.

There are a few Asian markets around town that carry it. Forget the name but there are two in Parkville near Joppa road and Loch Raven.

Nope, General Tso's chicken - I've seen a handful of recipes that use it though so it'll be good to stock up

H Mart definitely has it. If you don't want to make the drive to H Mart, Po Tung Asian Grocery in the Mount Vernon/Midtown area will probably have it too.

I always just buy it on Amazon. Keep a stock of it since it's a pain to find locally.
