Joe H, yes we consider ourselves extremely lucky (despite the rain) to live where we do. Wow!...$19.99 is an amazing price. Unbelievable that Northstar is located just "over the hills" from us around Walla Walla and you can get it for less across the country. Actually, opened a 2005 Northstar merlot last weekend, let it decant for about 45 mins, and my wife and I finished it in about two hours; it was delicious. We are supposed to drive over to Lake Chelan this weekend to check out another winery we've been hearing a lot about lately called Nefarious Cellars (and a few others I'm certain) so will post how that goes....will undoubtedly hit the local Costco in Wenatchee as they usually have a good selection of Walla Walla wines. p.s. once I retire this summer we are supposed to lead a "pilgrimage" to the mecca of Walla Walla which is about a 6-7 hour drive from Seattle.

Howdy, well I didn't realize how lucky we are in the Seattle, WA area as our local Costcos have a relatively large and varied stock of Eastern Wa wines. I had no idea the 2007 Northstar merlot was so popular back East and noticed my local Costco just got in about two cases or so....guess I will have to buy a few more before they're gone....
