Costco Bargains on Cab

[MontereyRick]

Wonders and IK:

I live between Salinas and Monterey, about 7 miles from each. My office is in Salinas and I play/dine generally on the Monterey Peninsula.

While A Taste Of Monterey has a couple of nice shops (one 3 blocks from my office) that represent Monterey County wines, their prices are high.

Local wine shops to note if your looking for Monterey County wines or Napa/Sonoma for that matter include:

Grapes & Grain in Salinas (831)424-3482 talk to Dick Arentz (owner)
Zeph's One Stop in Salinas (831)757-3947, talk to Zeph or Vince (I bought a case of Simi 99 Cab for $15/bottle from them just before Tgiving); also IK, they have tons of Talbott/Logan (including some 97 Pinot remaining; case price will probably be around $16)
also in Salinas, Star Market (a locally owned upscale grocery store) has the biggest inventory of Monterey County wines available; Victor will offer 10% off case discounts on Logan and any others
On the peninsula, their are many but Rancho Cellars next to The Barnyard in Carmel probably is the best known(831)625-5646
also try Monte Vista Wine & Spirits in Monterey at (831)375-2135
