I visited Costco in North Scottsdale on Sunday and picked up 12 bottle of 2012 Dom $174.99. Went back today to get another 12. They put a 6 bottle limit on Dom, so only was able to get 6. The Beverage person said they have very little in stock, San Diego had 100 bottles. Back tomorrow…

Dave, how would you compare the 2008 to the 2012?

Too lazy to search the thread and I may have already posted this myself, but grab a case of the Kirkland Champagne. Scratches the itch of wanting crisp bubbles and is guilt-free at $20.

always an easy grab any time we need decent champagne that impresses all types of people.

FWIW the Kirkland Prosecco is our go to for mimosas, and its also guilt-free at like $6/bottle

I have had this a few times. The Roederer Anderson Valley 9/2020 is better and less money.

Not sure. Have not tried 2012 yet. I have heard 2012 is better, but what do I know? As I told Jeff Nowak today, I prefer Salon.

im curious to hear peoples thoughts on this one. the 16 was very good for the money but 17 is a very different vintage. kind of like the Chablis… I loved it two years ago, did not like last year, and like this years again

I am curious as well. My understanding is that this is Fontanafredda (or at least it’s made by their winemaker), and my view on them is that they are particularly consistent in their Serralunga wine even in lesser vintages. For me, the last vintages of the Kirkland Barolo ('15 and '16) were both about the best $20 Nebbiolos I’ve come across and among the best QPR wines of the last couple of years.

Fontanafredda would make some sense; in 2010 Costco convinced them to bottle up 1L bottles that were sold at 750ml prices. That was a solution to the property not undercutting their normal sales channels. I did not see the big bottles any more after that, perhaps their usual agents got mad and requested that end.

Got one today at that same price to try it out and see if it might be worth cellaring.
For that price, not much to lose worth case scenario
