"As it's not a chain store you can find lots of items otherwise hard to find. Buy individual gift boxes, sewing notions, toys, kitchen items, decorative stickers etc"

"Hard to choose! I chose a petite sirah & the Novelist, a quite interesting white which is blend of savignon blanc & semillon. Not outrageously expensive."

"Sorta unusual! You order breakfast (burritos, fruit, etc) & it's delivered in a basket hung outside your door. A Keurig-like coffee maker in room makes good coffee."

"Every one knows Costco! Alcohol is high quality & reasonable. Salmon, cheese, fruits & veggies in bulk are bargains. Some prepared foods better than others & may vary from store to store."

"Wish I knew! Lines were so long I didn't even try. (which probably meant offerings were great, but I don't stand in such lines!) go VERY early or expect 30 people ahead of you."

"Wines are fine but the prices are inflated. There are many, many equally fine wines and wineries in CA without the steep tasting fees and $50+ per bottle."
