Well, not a bad price but I paid $13.50 at Albertson's. That includes the 10% discount that you get when you purchase lots of 6 bottles (mix and match).
It's a nice wine, and you didn't overpay, but with some sniffing around you might do a bit better. Remember, when I say it's an excellent wine, I mean in relation to wines in its' class, not in relation to Petrus or Chateau Margaux. I hope you like it.
P.S. Many supermarkets do give a 10% discount for lots of 6 if you use the cardboard carriers laying around. Many wine shops offer discounts for a case purchase.

The price I was quoted is without my usual 10% discount (and remember...
it had to be shipped cross-continent). So I'll actually pay $15.30/bottle, unless I go for a case. But I want to give it a try first (not that I don't trust your judgement in these matters, I do--it's just that everyone's palate is a bit different). Thanks for the recommendation. If you run across similar finds, be sure to share.

Anyone like Snoqualmie Merlot 1996 or 1997? One of our favorites (and nice price at about $10.00)for an everyday wine.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/PorTTlandSig.jpg">
