Question: "Skunky" Dom?

@RichardFlack

Is it usual to be able to return a (non-empty) corked bottle years after purchase? Some here seem to imply yes.

It depends. Generally not, but certain stores will do it, and it might depend on whether or not they know you.

So, I took it back.

It took 3 levels of Coscto employees and an interview about why I brought back an empty bottle, but they credited my account!

I didn’t exchange for a new bottle, because the stock they have on hand is the same batch I purchased from.

I can understand their dubiousness, but they were over-all quite nice about it.

Happy ending.

Thank you for encouraging me to do the return!

to you all!

Anton, congrats.

Although do try another bottle, 2006 Dom is some killer bubbles.

Perfect. Good work Anton and good for Costco to honor a flawed wine.

And this is just another example of the quality customer service from Costco!
