Official Costco Thread

They had 2016 Chateau Cos D’Estournel for $159.99 at Costco in Redmond, WA (6 bottles) and Issaquah, WA. Someone picked them up before I was able to.

#471 had these today

2016 Clerico [Barolo] $45
2016 Renato Ratti ‘Marcenasco’ [Barolo] $45
2018 Vieux Donjon [CNDP] $46
2007 Suduiraut halves [$25]
2015 or 2016 (can’t remember) Muga Reserva Seleccion ‘Especial’ [Rioja] $32.50

They also had current vintages of BV GdLT for $100, and Mondavi Reserve CS $115.

All the luxe liquors and specialty bottlings are out in force now.

I passed on everything.

The Costco in SF (10th st). I know - I’m thinking about a return trip.

Well this was a first.

@ Store #479

What’s a first, them having the wine in stock or them not knowing how to spell “screaming”? [bow.gif]

But seriously that’s awesome. Did you ask how many bottles they have?

I wouldn’t have been able to pass on the 07 Suduiraut - hoping those turn up in my market soon!

Saw my first Indian sparkling wine at the Fort Worth Costco! Sadly it was not very good, better than the cooks and corbel though.

Try Korbel Natural sometime if you see it, it will surprise you.

Hmm, okay. If I see it I’ll try it, usually doesn’t hurt to try something new!

Picked up a 3-pack of NV Albert Lebrun Grand Cru Brut Champagne for $26 at the Culver City/WLA loation. Grand Cru fruit for $26? OK, worth a try!

My Favorite Neighbor $44.99
CVNE Cune Rioja Reserva 2015 $14.99

You mean Scremaing Eagle.

That’s $26/each & not $26 for 3 right.

Yes, each. It’s a deal (I think/hope) but not a steal!

Perhaps now that Rudy K is back on the loose, he has found some new big box clients…

And if you don’t like it, “Costco.com products can be returned to any of our more than 700 Costco warehouses worldwide.”

how many people have gotten to try the Kirkland Rutherford this year? costcowineblog had pretty high praise for it today

Costco pricing is kinda strange. In Kona we had the LeBrun for $19.99 in the bin, I bought them out after trialing a bottle. Unfortunately they only had a case and a half left at that point. We also have My Favorite Neighbor ‘17 for $49.99, on a discount from $70.
The screaming deal right now is Northstar Merlot ‘13 for $16.99. They have an end cap pallet full and I hope there’s a couple cases left when I go back next week. It’s really in a great place, deep and dark with a full mid palate, black fruits on the nose, a little red on the palate with a savory quality on the long finish. May be the buy of the year for QPR…

At $10.99 this Barbera is a fantastic bargain.

The Danville Costco has the 2007 Suduiraut half-bottles for $24.97. Had to buy one this morning!
