A Yummy Buy At Costco
The Costco in Edison has booze.
It is really really good that it is a half hour away, otherwise, well, the temptations would fully overwhelm me. I picked up a few bottles of this for $7.50
A very full bodied, smooth merlot. Yes, I know that merlot is so passe these days but I quite like a nice one, and for the price this hits the ticket.
It went very nicely with the blackened tilapia on a bed of risotto surrounded in a most artistic fashion by canned green beans that I made for dinner last night!

Claude? Claude? Here boy!
Canned green beans! Horrors! The tilapia would surely think it deserved better.
Oh don’t worry, he never goes hungry!
Bogle make a very nice Cab as well.
Did you raise the Tilapia in your own rice paddy?
Was that you peeking in my backyard mojo?
On the Bogle front they also make a nice “old vine” zinfandel.
I don’t know what is supposed to distinguish “old Vine” zinfandel from zinfendel but there you are.
Age mostly, I imagine.
And, on the “old-vine” front, you might check out Michael David Winery’s “7 Deadly Zins”, old-vine grapes from 7 different Valley winerys.
The old vines are, from what I understand, actually “old vines”! Some of the labels I’ve perused talk about them being 70-90+ years old, and they claim this makes for a more concentrated flavor in the fruit. I do find some of those Zins extremely yummy.
