Trying to remember the name of a Costco wine

[bif]

It was a semi-dry white from New Zealand and came in a 1.5L bottle for about $7. They carried it for about a year but alas, no longer. Anyone remember the name of it?

1. Is it a boxed wine?

:P

I'm not a member at Costco (kind of pointless as I live alone.) But one of their larger areas for wine is Marlborough. Here's the wiki entry for their wine country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_zealand_wine

2. No. It was a bottle

3. You do know that the phrase "boxed wine"

is a Lounge joke, right? ;)

Did you figure out what it was yet? I'd be curious to see if I could get it at Spec's locally. My gf is a New Zealander, so I like some of the wines having to do with her country :)

5. That would be kind of messy.

And painful.

6. It sounded something like "Ravenswood" as I recall

But that's not it.

8. Thanks! Found it!

It's called Riparian. I'll have to request it via their suggestion box.

9. Great!

Looking on their website, I see it's not available in Texas, or most of the country. Just a handful of states and I guess yours is one of them :)
