Cost Plus: Misses by a Wide Margin

I have shopped at Cost Plus World Market for over 15 years. I am very disappointed to say that the wine department has been on a downward slope for some time now. They used to purchase quality, unique finds that were an excellent value for the price. I was not afraid to try these eclectic wines, trusting that they would be a great wine, offered at a great value. Sadly, in the last year or two, it would appear that Cost Plus has changed it's wine strategy to buying poor quality, buy-out wine that no one else wanted. They are then marking these wines up 50% and trying to pass off swill as quality wine.
I have taken my wine purchases to other retailers that have the integrity to offer quality wine.
