Heh. Yeah, I guess so.

What I've noticed is that, since David left, Costco's wine selection
has become rather boring and predictable. Acacia Pinot, Ste. Michelle
stuff, too much Coppola, et al. Been there, done that. There's so much
interesting wine out there these days, but not much of it at Costco.
It's getting to be more fun in the wine aisle of Trader Joe's than
Costco. TJ's has been offsetting their Two Buck Chuck mania with some
rather decent high end selections the last few months. Needless to
say, the prices are competitive.
