Even though the Washington State Liquor Stores have delayed Washington Wine Month until September, other participating businesses have not. Haggen Food, a very community-minded Washington grocery chain, is featuring some pretty amazing deals on cases of Washington wine. These are cases of mixed wine from a single winery, you choose, and include a sale price with a 20% case discount, and a mail in rebate. Here are some specific numbers for you:
Columbia Crest Two Vines and V10 Case
Regularly at 95.88; on sale for $76.70, with an $18.00 mail-in rebate, for a final price of $58.70 (plus taxes, natch)
Columbia Crest Grand Estates
Regularly $95.58; on sale for $76.70, with an $18.00 mail-in rebate, for a final price of $77.90 (plus taxes)
Other Washington wines are also on sale; primarily those from the "usual" Washington conglomerate. Bernard Griffin, H3, Washington Hills, Chateau Ste. Michelle, with an additional 20% off for four or more bottles.
I note that it looks like the Washington State Liquor Stores have posted their Washington Wine Month price list as a .pdf here. Notice that at the top it says August/September 2009. The .pdf merely lists the single bottle prices, not the case price, but you can get a pretty good idea. You might want to pay special attention to the last two pages, with the heading "Special August/September one-time-only special purchase wines washington wine month." Mostly, I'm seeing the "usual suspects"; I'm hoping for a bit more variety in the actual store, since individual store buyers/managers do have some leeway for personal choices.
