Just googled it and that's the one.

I picked up my first "older" bottles @ Shield's Date Garden (on the way to Palm Springs from LA) along with other/older CA red wines from the mid to late 60's/early 70's.

They had old/deep wooden bins for their wine that went two (or maybe three) bottles back from the front facing and I purchased quite a bit of the "back stock" @ the price of the old sticky tags.

Some other names I remember are Krug (Charles Krug?), Gallo, Mondavi, Agustus Sebastiani(SP?), and as far as PS goes something with Canon or Canyon in the name.

I purchased enough to fill the trunk (and the back seat compartment) of a Volvo and surprisingly enough more than 2/3 of it was still vibrant/good.

The quantity caused me to rent cellar space, and then the rest is history until I stopped collecting/storing wine in the late 90's.
