I don't find that the least bit troubling. It's not ready to drink now anyway. They have older Mondavi Reserve vintages that I'd love to drink now.
But could use it on the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, the highly-rated (by Consumer Reports)
Not just them; Wine Spectator has given this release 88-92 points pretty much every year the past 6 or more. There are other publications that sing the praises of this wine. I buy 3-6 every vintage for drinking with light meals around the house. It's a great buy.^
wine sold at Costco for $12.99. This brings the per-bottle cost (before tax) to $16.05. So you pay an extra $3.06 per bottle to get the miles, which works out to $.0044/mile.
As someone pointed out, a pricier pick would lower the cpm by spreading the hefty shipping charge over a larger amount.
Let's find the best premium wine that still takes a coupon.
Did I see the 1990 Mondavi Reserve?
