Jan 7-Jan 20 - These are 6 pack prices.
Looks like an interesting Malbec, Cab Sav, Petit Verdot Blend. Might not be dry enough for moi...
Syrah, Monastrell, Garnacha Blend. This may be a lil bit too Jammy for me, but $12.99 sounds good to try.
Jan 7-Jan 13 -
This looks like a neat Italian Blend. For $10... (almost half price), definitely worth a shot
Pretty Bold... mixed reports on the Dryness.... I want to like it :)
Jan 6- Jan 10 - They have a special if you buy any 4 of 6 wines, you receive 10,000 Optimum pts. I'm seeing a trend that the Wines that offer the 10,000 Optimum points can be on Sale elsewhere for a much better Sale price. I think you're paying more $ for the points....
OK Price for a nice Winery in the Okanagan, and their Pinot Gris. This is one of the 6 wines.
Honorable Mention - good price for 24 Draft
Nice wine from BC, complimentary blend including Cab Franc... not sure what Terroir "Driven" means, but nice wine! This is one of the 6 wines. Was at this price before Xmas too.
Jan 7- Jan 10 -
Mixed reviews on this but definitely worth a shot. I'll be heading to WP for the Chardonnay, so will grab one.
Try this Chenin Blanc! Off Dry and golden color...try try try !
A pretty nice Ripasso at a pretty good price.
My case I bought before the Holidays, is almost gone.... perfect timing and price for a real good Chardonnay!
Jan 14-Jan 20 -
Decent price for a very bold, (too sweet for me) nice Zinfandel...
Nice dry Sav Blanc for $14...also at RCLS for $12
Jan 13- Jan 17 - They have a special if you buy any 4 of 6 wines, you receive 10,000 Optimum pts. I'm seeing a trend that the Wines that offer the 10,000 Optimum points can be on Sale elsewhere for a much better Sale price. I think you're paying more $ for the points....
Nice dry Sav Blanc for $12... also at Co-Op for $14
Always a nice Pinot Noir... but this is one of the 6 wines. So not a 'great' Sale Price, but you do get points if you buy any 4 of the select wines.
Jan 18- Jan 20 - New Sale !
This is one of my favorite Rioja's . I'm hoping the 2015 is at least as good than the 2014...
I'm looking for a another "House Rose"..might this be it ?
Jan 14- Jan 17 -
I do enjoy Cab Francs out of the Okanagan ... this should be nice, and dry...
Should be a nice dry Sangiovese... I might just like saying "San-Gee-Oh-Veeeezy"
The Las Mulas Cab Sav is a cheaper, borderline Cab Sav. For $10, this Sav Blanc from them might be a little nice wine too...
I do like the Yangarra wines. This one is not dry enough for me, but very robust and balanced...
Jan 21-Jan 27 - These are 6 pack prices. - 10X Base AirMiles when you spend $60
A Big Bold Australian Red. Great boldness, not dry enough for this Kangaroo...
Nice dry Sav Blanc... was $12 last week at RCLS
The Y Series isn't a bad bunch of wines... for 11.69, not as Bold as the Wirra Wirra, but nice enough... as their Ad suggests, with a pizza. Yum.
Jan 21-Jan 27 -
Nice smooth Chianti. The Reserva is the Black Label 18.99, is nicer. The cheaper Red Label 13.99 is ~ ok. How about buy one of each and do an experiment and see the difference of $5 !
Co-Op Sommelier's choice this week... I agree...
Jan 20- Jan 24 - They have a special if you buy any 4 of 6 wines, you receive 10,000 Optimum pts.

I think you're paying more $ for the points....Update: have learned most of the time, you earn 10,000 pts for every 4 bottles you buy. 4 of the same type also received pts.
With the points, not a bad price for this Ripasso Blend... a lot of varietals in this one... a little sweet for me, but ok.
I've tried the 2015 now, it's not as nice as the 2014 IMO, but still an easy sipping Tempranillo... this is one of the 6 wines. I bought a case of 12, received 10,000 pts X3. Brings the price down to ~ $13.50
Jan 21- Jan 24 -
A step up from the Y Series mentioned in the Sobeys Flyer. See how $6 makes a big difference :)
Looks like an interesting Pinot Grigio and it's "pink" ???
Jan 21-Feb 3 - These are 6 pack prices. - 10X Base AirMiles when you spend $60. Same as last week. I was sure it was only for 1 week last week, or I missed it.
A Big Bold Australian Red. Great boldness, not dry enough for this Kangaroo...
Nice dry Sav Blanc... was $12 last week at RCLS
The Y Series isn't a bad bunch of wines... for 11.69, not as Bold as the Wirra Wirra, but nice enough... as their Ad suggests, with a pizza. Yum.
Jan 28-Feb 3 -
A nice Valpolicella, med body, off dry. The specs say it's too sweet for me, but the earthy flavors are a hit with me and make up for it...
Nice, oaky, red from Toscana. Sometimes memory and the ambiance of when you've had a wine, goes forever. This, and Formosa Pizza, does it for me...
Merlot, Cab Sav, Malbec Blend. Maybe some Cab Franc too. I'm not so sure this is a great 'Sale' price, but if you want to try a $40 very robust relatively dry great wine... yup!
Jan 27- Jan 31 - They have a special if you buy any 4 of 6 wines, you receive 10,000 Optimum pts.

I believe I've talked about this one before. Dry, crisp, green apple & citrus to me. Including the points, it's ~ $12.50. Recommend chilled and on the deck... bought a case already.
Also spoke of this Pinot Noir before... med body, good off dry Californian Pinot Noir... after the points it's ~ $15.50
Jan 28- Jan 31 -
This looks like a good price for a Australian Riesling. It may be dryer than most Rieslings, but looks crisp/clean. It may be too acidic for some...
Last week Yangarra's Shiraz was on Sale. This is another nice GSM Blend from Yangarra. Apparently not their best year, but a very nice price for Bold red from Australia... (and I'm a Grenache guy)... :)
Feb 4-Feb 107 - These are 6 pack prices.
Feb 4-Feb 10 - *** NOT MUCH THIS WEEK ***
Decent price for Wolf's Gold Label - Both of these are good and not overpowering in any way but not too bland either...
Honorable Mention !
Feb 3-Feb 7 - They have a special if you buy any 4 of 6 wines, you receive 10,000 Optimum pts.

Both are definitely worth a try. Pinot Grigio should be light, crisp, a little off dry. Similar, the Red should be a dry, light, medium body Red. Less $2.50 if you buy 4 bottles of wine.
A good off bold, dry-er GSM blend. not overpowering. Less $2.50 if you buy 4 bottles of wine.
A decent Rose for sure. But, I get a little leery when the bottle is fancy-shmancy and used for Sales, as opposed to the Rose speaking for itself. Less $2.50 if you buy 4 bottles of wine.
This is a good Malbec, a notch or two up from their basic Malbec. Not too bold, not too dry. Less $2.50 if you buy 4 bottles of wine.
Feb 3-Feb 7 - *** NOT MUCH THIS WEEK *** If you're a Cellar Club Member, there are a number of good prices
Feb 11-Feb 17 - These are 6 pack prices. - Spend $60 and get 10X Base AirMiles
Some nice reasonably priced bubbles for the Valentine's Weekend...
Have talked about this Chianti before too. A house favorite...
Have talked about the Rose before, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay should be good to test too ... :)
If you're having a dinner that warrants the $36, this is a nice wine with spiced veggies(not too hot) ... not too red of meats...
Feb 11-Feb 17 -
Pretty Bold, Off Dry Sab Sav from Napa !
Nice price for a nice Malbec ...too sweet for me, but nice nonetheless...
Nice smooth Malbec from Argentina... mid-point in the Altmira Malbec family...2010 should be good now :)
Don't think I've tried this one yet... gonna.... !
Should be a nice sipping off dry Rioja...

A very Bold Red Blend... not dry enough for me, but a great bottle of wine !
A very Bold Red... closer to being dry enough for me, and a great bottle of wine ! Sonoma , yummy! RCLS can be cheaper if you're a Optimum Member there.

I absolutely want to try this medium body Pinot Noir
Definitely one of Dona Paula's notch up Malbec's... maybe 2 notches up!
I don't know this Chardonnay, but for $11 I'm going to try it. It reminds me of another Chardonnay I posted about. Probably not smooth as silk, but sometimes the lil kick at the end is great, and that, to me translates as character!
I absolutely want to try this full bodied, yet seemingly dry, red blend. (I'm a sucker for Cab Franc being in a Blend!)
Pretty full bodied Syrah, off dry... should be yummy, and recommend with the red meats for sure!

Looks interesting not too bold, off dry Cab Sav from Alexander Valley Washington State. Good price.
I confess I almost drove right by this one, until I saw the "815", (beep beep beep) it makes a big difference to the regular Joel Gott Cab Sav. This one full body, off dry, and good stuff....

Mar 11-Mar 17 -
If you like your Pinot Noir or Chardonnay sweet-ish.... these are for you, at a decent price... I'll try the Chardonnay, as the Pinot won't be dry enough of course :)
Decent price for Argentina wine. Cab Sav looks dryer than the Malbec... I'll be trying the Cab Sav :)

A very basic low level Tawny Port, but why not ?!? This is one of the 6 wines! So, it could be considered $2.50 less because of points.

Mar 22-Mar 24 - Italian Week Delights!
Made from Garganega Grapes (who knew !) Tried some last night... fruit forward, pear, peach, stone fruit, delicious but not overly sweet, not dry or too acidic, almost like a Chardonnay but not as buttery or oaky at all. Will be buying some more. ..
Should be a medium body, dry, medium acidity Chianti... bought some already for $16 ! Tried it now... Do it ! you will not go wrong!
Another grape I don't think I've tried (Nero D'Avola) perhaps in a blend... full bodied, not dry, smooth Red...
Mar 15-Mar 21 - WP has been hitting it out of the park lately !!! I hope they take it easy on my ~ 2X / week Ordering, the last month has been amazing but deadly! :)

Always a good basic wine when on Sale. The Chardonnay is the house Chardonnay around here.... Pinot Noir = $18.99, Chardonnay = $16.99.
I'm not sure the Sale Price is such a great price, but it's apparently a 95 point wine... worth a buy for sure, off dry Rioja's are usually pretty nice.

A bold Californian Chardonnay... also on Sale at Sobeys, not as good a price as here.
Apr 8-Apr 11 -
Another good price for a nice dry crisp Sav Blanc from Napa !
Trying to decide on this one to buy or not. $35 is a lot of money to me, but at $10-$20 off per bottle for a bold dry Napa Cab Sav.... I think I just talked myself into it...
Looks like a good price for a good Chardonnay.
Apr 15-Apr 21 - These are 6 pack prices - Get 10X Base AirMiles when you spend $75
A good clean crisp Sav Blanc.... Chill it and enjoy for $11
Trivento's Golden Reserve version of their Malbec is truly a notch up... a very nice Smooth Malbec!
Have mentioned this one before. The ORO upgrade is better, but this and a thin crust pizza from say, Famoso, with some meats and veg.... great stuff
Very similar to Trivento comment, this DOC version of Luigi Bosca is real nice notch up... this is a little bolder than the Trivento
Apr 15-Apr21 -
I find some wines in Willamette Valley great and others, so-so. This one supposed to have earthy and mushroomy tones... I'm in!
Not a very bold Malbec from Argentina, a little too jammy for me, but still good stuff !
Have mentioned this one before. A good, quite bold off dry Malbec. Never disappointed.
This one is in the middle of the previous two. Off Bold, off dry... Dicero is a nice Malbec for sure!
Apr 14-Apr 18 -
Have mentioned before too... This is a nice for the price, Sangiovese Medium Bold, dry, oaky... this and a pizza or a burger !!!
Columbia Valley can be good. I'm not sure this is a great price, unless you but 4 bottles of the 6 listed. This is a little jammy for me... off bold, off dry.
Apr 15-Apr 18 -
Have promoted Black Sage before. Good stuff from BC!
This looks like a really good price for a good year of Siduri Pinot Noir. Sounds delicious, and if you're not a dry lover like me, this may be in your realm...
This Winery has a GREAT Pinot Noir! This Chardonnay will cost me on my WP order this week!
Apr 22-Apr 28 - These are 6 pack prices - Spend $100 & get a $10 Liquor Gift Card. Not a lot to report this week. Featuring Organic, Biodynamic, and Sustainable
A good steady organic wine from California. I like the Chardonnay more than the Cab Sav... but both are good. (apparently Vegan too)
I don't think it's as nice as last week's DOC that was on sale. It is organic though.
Apr 22-Apr 28 -
I've not had these wines... but they do look good. Cab Sav is pretty bold, off dry. Zinfandel looks like it's from Lodi, Old Vine, very Bold and pretty sweet. If I did like sweet, I'd be all over this!
Have mentioned this wine before. It's a really nice Malbec. Some years are amazing, and great value. (I'll be checking for 2010, 12,13,15) Even if it's other years, and have $35... try at least one bottle...
Apr 21-Apr 25 - not a lot this week.
Haven't tried the Bonterra Rose... it may be good. It's organic. It's one of the 6 wines that if you buy 4 bottles, you'll get points.
Looks like this is the Russian River Valley, so it's a nice Pinot Noir, not sure it's a great sale price tho'. If this is Central Coast, it's a notch down. It's one of the 6 wines that if you buy 4 bottles, you'll get points.
Apr 22-Apr 25 -
Was on sale last week at Sobeys for 11.69, but still a great crisp blanc for $13... if they have any left... keep checking...
I don't think I've tried this Ehrenfelser grape before. Supposed to be smooth and food friendly...and organic. Going to try a few...
Apr 22-Apr 25 -

A nice light blend of Cab Franc, Sangiovese, Syrah. I do like Cab Franc blends from BC. Road 13 is a favorite stop for me.
There's been some nice Sav Blanc's on sale the last few weeks. This one will not disappoint ! Pretty Dry, Crisp!
Apr 29-May 5 - Honorable Mention - Big Rock Brewery AGD 24 Cans = $23.99 !
Gotta be honest, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the value in this ARANWA Reserve family of wines. Malbec and Cab Sav can stand on their own. I love the "Argentina Character" in their Chardonnay. $12 = Wow
Have presented this one before. Too sweet for me, but this Sonoma blend is very bold. If you've got a Steak, Beef Stew, Lamb, Veal ... take this with you.
Apr 28-May 2 -
One of my favorite Rioja's !! I picked up 2 cases already :) This Tempranillo is 2016, and the neighborhood watch has already determined needs decanting. Not as nice as the 2014, but closer to the 2015. It's one of the 6 wines that if you buy 4 bottles, you'll get points. ~ worth $2.50 a bottle.
A very nice Pinot Gris from BC.! It's one of the 6 wines that if you buy 4 bottles, you'll get points.
Apr 29-May 2 - Flavors of Sonoma County
Lake Sonoma Pinot Noir is one of my fav's. This Chardonnay is very nice too! Not too overpowering Oak/Butter...
La Crema wines are always pretty good. This should have medium body to it, not too dry. For $17, it is good value.
Apr 29-May 2 - Honorable Mention - Bombay Sapphire Gin 1.14 L = $32.95
From the Columbia Valley, apparently a blend of up to 6 varietals! Supposed to be delicious, not too sweet, crisp with a tart finish. Sounds like a lot of fun ...
May 6-May 12 - These are 6 pack prices - Case Lot Sale! + Spend $150 get 150 AirMiles. Spend $250 get 400 AirMiles. No to Angus, Celeste, Chateau Ste Michelle !!! Honorable mention to Big Bottles of Pink Whitney & Bombay Sapphire Gin & Johnnie Walker Black Label, but cheaper at RCLS)

A VERY nice house Ripasso. $11.25 per bottle when buying a case + AirMiles

Both of these are Los Clop's basic varietal... basically decent for the price. Not the same as their notch up, but for $15, you get the $15 value for sure.
Good Character on this Rose from the west Central Coast. Recommended this also ~ a month ago
May 5-May 9 - different offers for points based on wine and $ and bottles. Honorable Mention = Pink Whitney and Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch . No to Angus, Celeste, Chateau Ste Michelle !!!
Good basic house Rose... also on Sale at Sobeys/Safeway.
