2005 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca Guicciarda

With more of D's baked chicken concoction; a very nice CCR hitting all the right notes on nose and palate. 13.5% alc/vol and $19.99 at Costco.

That's a good price on a Riserva. We don't have a Costco here.

Looks like the closest Costco to you is in Raleigh at 2838 Wake Forest Rd. As often as you visit that city, a membership would be well worth your while (assuming they carry wines, of course). You could call them at 919-755-2801 to find out. Their maximum 14% margin can make a huge difference in wine pricing.

I will be in Raleigh part of the weekend. If time allows, I will look into it. Thanks. (I think Raleigh or Carey now has a Trader Joe's also.)
