Costco.com has a Sebastiani 4 bottle wine sampler for $9.99 + tax & shipping.
At this time orders for this item can only be delivered to California, New Mexico and Oregon addresses.
The Sebastiani 4-Bottle Sampler features four wines from Sebastiani Sonoma Coast: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Chardonnay.
750 mL 2006 Sebastiani Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 750 mL 2003 Sebastiani Sonoma Coast Merlot 750 mL 2005 Sebastiani Sonoma Coast Zinfandel 750 mL 2005 Sebastiani Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
I ordered 2 samplers and shipping was $13.41 + tax 2.92, so my total was $36.31 for 8 bottles ($4.54 each). I looked around and this wine sells for $13 to $15 per bottle, so I think taht for the low price I will give them a try.

Wow...fantastic deal if you live in California, New Mexico or Oregon. I went ahead and tried to place an order to South Carolina and was shot down. Sebastiani is good vino.
Nice deal OP, Sebastiani is usually very good. Have had the Cab, Merlot, and Pinot in the past and have enjoyed. As you mentioned, at $12-$16 per bottle for the various reds (and probably slightly less for the whites), this is a great deal.
OP, might want to add info to the title of only being available in the 3 states you listed (or at least YMMV), before the flame-police start going after you.
MrCashman said: Shipping alone to California was $9.92. I can't imagine paying practically the price of the deal in shipping costs.Think of it as $20 + free shipping = $5 each
henny said: Has anyone actually rec'd wine delivered by Costco. This could be a deal killer:
Proof of age may be required upon delivery
Taking time off work to hang around awaiting delivery because they want to card you kills the deal IMHO. Do they really require this? Just go and pick up the package at your local UPS station.
Cellar Tracker is a website people can track their wine and enter tasting scores and notes. They seem to like these wines, especially at $5 it’s a steal. I did notice that Wine Spectator has given some of these wines as high as 92 for previous vintages. Sebastiani is a very old and well recognized California winery. This is their county designate wine which is not bad just not the high end vineyard designate wines.
History: The history of Sebastiani Vineyards dates back to 1825. In that year, the Franciscan fathers of nearby mission San Francisco Solano, assisted by local native Americans, first cleared and planted land for their vineyards. These vineyards are among the oldest vineyard sites in northern California. They were acquired in 1904 by Samuele Sebastiani, the founder of our family winery, who immigrated from the wine producing region of Tuscany, Italy in 1895.

Ordered 3 sets. Shipping after 3~4 sets does not make big difference any more. I decided to ship to my work too. It was a major hassle for me to get my wine last time that was shipped from 4 Seasons. UPS insisted adult signature in person (can not leave signed slip on the door).
FWIW...my per-bottle price wen't down on 3 orders, 4 orders, 5 orders.....but then started to creep up again at 6 orders. I didn't try 7 or above...just ordered 5 to get my per-bottle down to ~4.30. Nice....now I won't be so stingy this holiday season...drink a couple, keep a couple, give a couple.
Great deal OP! I went to Costco after seeing this post (was planning to go anyway), and looked for this set but they only had the Merlot 2005 for $10.**. Not sure what the year difference would mean for the taste, but I'm in for 3. Thanks again!
