It was the same vintage of the same wine at Grocery Outlet? Thats pretty odd, but I guess possible.

I worked for a guy who ended up selling some of his wine at Costco cheaper than his wine club could buy it. Suffice to say he doesn't seem to be around anymore.

But its tough times for wineries right now. Cash flow is king and people do desperate things to get it.

This was at Firestone Vineyards... which USED to be family owned but recently was sold.... - TWB 13:01:45 04/26/19 (0)
to William Foley from the area. The vintage at Grocery Outlet was 2016 and a slightly smaller bottle with a screw cap. The vintage that I purchased was 2013 in a larger bottle with a cork. It was not under the Firstone label but under Proximity 26. Which apparently was a label established by Foley. The Firstone family has decided to concentrate on their Firestone Walker Brewing Company restaurants and still retain ownership of Curtis Winery. The place was deserted only one other couple in the place... When we went there previously you had to wait to taste!
