Goose Chase is a second label of Celestial Bay winery. While I can't make out detailed information on the case boxes in your photo, the bottles on top of the case stacks look like white wine when you magnify them. The most recent white listed on their website under that label is a 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. According to the producer, its peak drinking period was from the time of release - 2014. It appears the wines you saw are clearance priced to move before going downhill.

:p:

Actually, if everyone felt that way, we'd all be eating french fries with mayonnaise, Belgian style. I do like malt vinegar but did not even consider asking for it for some reason.

We're getting the Pete Rose bat and shirt mounted. Even with the supposed %70 discount, the framing cost almost matched the cost of the items.

Thanks for the information. It's too bad they don't have these stores anywhere near us. For that price I could buy enough to make a nice punch and float some citrus in it.

My family always put tartar sauce on home-cooked or restaurant battered fish.
You're battering and frying it anyway, it's hardly a nuanced taste.

Anything other than salt & vinegar (sore finger as our local Chinese pronounced it) on chips to eat in the street is an aberration though.
Gosh I wish I was by the seaside today.

Three times fried fries Flemish style (in Amsterdam, try saying that after a disco biscuit) are gorge with garlic mayo.
