The final straw with our club membership, Big Papa is now sold at Costco, for the same price, if not cheaper than our club price we pay for being members.

Two glasses of wine turned into a few more, full dinner, and signed up for the wine club. Initially, going to get out of the house and get a glass of wine turned into our new spot. Allowing children and having amazing food adds tremendously to the wine! Lastly, Sara helped me out on my birthday and made the visit 5*. Sara's knowledge with both food and wine are outstanding. I could go on, but I'll keep it at this. You get the point....
