...booze!

But let me elaborate a bit. I live in Edmonton, and we visit relatives in Vancouver maybe twice a year. I typically always head over the border to pick up parcels sent to my US shipping address in Blaine. While we usually fly out and rent a car, this time we are driving out (in our LR3) which means I have some more space to bring things home.

I'm wondering if there are any recommended and non sketchy places to buy wine. I see there are some wineries, but I'm not sure we'll have time for tastings. I'd like to buy a case or two of various bottles of wine to stock up our wine cellar.

We typically keep to the I5 and head to the outlet mall in Tulalip. I'm looking for any recommendations between basically Blaine and Lynnwood. Not sure if I want to head right into Seattle, but if there's a deal too good to pass up, I could be persuaded.

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Could hit up Columbia and Chateau Ste Michelle in the Redmond area. They are right across of each other and make quality wine.

 

Woodinville/ redmond is home to over about 80 wineries. Its about 45 min south of tulalip off the 405. You shouldn't have any problem finding wine there!

 

Costco in Bellingham.

 

^^ and at a discount!

 

Got to love Costco. My neighbor is a big wine junkie and he swears that the prices are right and the Costco buyers are very good.


Otherwise if you're out for a leisurely cruise my neighborhood market has an excellent selection and prices and are good at recommending wines according to your tastes/needs.

Hey guys, thanks for all your responses!

I think I will definitely hit up the Costco, slipped my mind entirely to think of that. And probably a winery visit (or two) would be a good idea too...
