2003	Sandoval Cabernet, Napa Valley Stanley said it's heavily advertised at The Wine Club and selling at $17 or so. I checked their site. Listed at $9.99. As I recalled, The Wine Club has a staff with Sandoval as last name... hmmm... The Santa Clara shop wouldn't have advertised this. I think the San Fran store has somewhat lower advertising standards. This is plain and somewhat watery. Little cassis and cherry. Does became slightly more interesting when matched with traditional Cantonese style deep fried chicken (with lots of spicy salt added). Incidentally Joy Luck Place (San Mateo)'s deep fried chicken and goose web with sea cucumber is five-star. - so - ws	9.99	**
