... at Sam's Club again! (Not intentionally though.) Went there to get a bottle for my mortgage broker as a thank you... but ending up buying a little bit more!

WW- you're not going to believe this- clearancing '99 Insignia for $49! Got 2 for myself and 2 for KC as an extra belated b-day present! Question for you, WW- also picked up 2 bottles of '98 Kenwood Artist Series Cab for $9.91. Is this any good? What's the usual retail?

Didn't forget my mortgage broker, got her a 2001 Chimney Rock Stag's Leap Cab for $36. (Remembered the winery to be a good one- never had it before.)

Just did a search on winesearcher.com- They listed the Artist Series b/w $50-$42. Maybe I should get more? Is this a good vintage?

I can't believe you got the artist series for 9+...unbelievable even in the worst vintages. What say you oh wine of the weenie???

They had 9 left of the Insignia and a good 2 cases of the Kenwood. Could be.......

BTW- is the Chimney Rock any good? Giving it to the broker on Monday.

A very solid producer. I've posted on meeny vintages over the years.WW

Have you checked other Sam's in your region with a reasonable drive to see if they have cases of the same stuff?


- californiagirl - 08-11-2004

Yes, but no. They only have the 2000 Sig for $99 and none of the others.

A very nice score CG. I went to my local Sams and found nothing on sale. Hopefully you bought it all. I paid 35. at Kenwood last year for their 99 artist series and that was at half off.
