    If you can find a Cab called Avalon get it by all means. Here it's anywhere from $5.69 - $7.99 a bottle(depending on where you buy it and what quantity you buy. If I buy 6 or more bottles at a time at the grocery store, it's under $6.50) I think it's probably a little more expensive there, but probably less than $11.00 a bottle.

    It's really fantastic. I've heard other people compare it to Caymus. It's now my official everyday wine, and beats my former everyday wine 337, which is also pretty good for the price.

    How long are the lines to get in? I don't want to wait more than 20 minutes since I have a busy schedule.

    their peanut butter is being recalled due to a salmonella outbreak

    anything from Sunland Inc and Trader Joe's brand.

    the sunflower butter is amazing, and the aforementioned cookie butter.

    such random stuff like chocolate covered toffee popcorn is why I go there, but I don't do most of my shopping there by any means.

    Hmm, I wonder if these "mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups" would suffer from the same malady. Surely they would've taken all affected products off the shelves.

    Looks like I'll save these for co-workers. Teehee.

    On a side note, I did go to Trader Joe's this evening (it's only 5 minutes away). It was actually pretty small (at least compared to the one I went to in Albuquerque), and I'm sad to see the theater converted as it is. Nonetheless, while busy, the checkout line moved pretty quick and they're quite well staffed. Plenty of parking in the back at 6:30pm or so, which should probably be around the busiest time.

    I went to one yesterday in Minnesota. It was smaller than I expected. Most of the stuff was organized in a random manner, and the checkout system was unorganized.

    I prefer Earthfare. Same stuff in a better more organized manner.

    Got the Cab and thought it was pretty terrible at first. Kinda grew on me as I realized that its cheaper than water.

    The pistachio covered toffee is amazing.
