If anyone wants to trade for some $199 Palmer, $169 LLC or $79 Pontet Canet let me know. I bought my bottles two weeks ago and it’s still just sitting there at my Costco as of yesterday.

Very jealous of the deals you gents are getting. Costcos in NYS don’t have wine. Must be some legal thing.
I come to this thread just for the FOMO. Anyone want to ship us NYC guys some of that cheap Bordeaux?

Absolutely in for this. Will happily split a case (or five).
Anyone try the 18 La croix Ducru? Several places have it for $30 but the Abv of 15% has scared me off thus far
Lots of options come through Oregon. I rotate checking the Aloha, Tigard and Wilsonville stores.
Recently, I’ve seen:
- 2018 Palmer
- 2019 Malescot St Exupery
- 2014 Cristal
- 2019 Giscours
- 2019 Fleur Cardinale

For those stuck in the generally lousy SE region, as of a few days ago, South Orlando had '19 Siran for $25.79 and '18 Clos Marsalette for $24.99. At that price, I would go back to pick up more Siran in a heartbeat but unfortunately I was on vacation and I haven’t seen it at home in NC. On the upside, it can be found for $35.99 at Wegmans, which is still a fair price.
Apologies if this was covered somewhere in the prior 3912 posts, but . . .
Does this rush of 2019 Bordeaux at Costco, at ridiculously low prices, signal anything broader about the wine market, or the Bordeaux market? Or is it more of a one-off thing where Costco got a bunch of one vintage and is clearing them out?
Does anyone know anything about why all this 2019 premium Bordeaux is going through Costco like this?

I believe someone mentioned that Costco bought a ton of 2019 early in COVID at low prices and is passing that on.

Costco is a regular buyer and seller of BDX. Pricing appears to reflect EP purchases. I am not sure of the timing of it being in retail now, but probably something to do with when they received and processed their containers.

EP from May/June 2020 orders landing in US. Nothing more than that and Costco margin cap at 13.9%.
Nothing about wine market other than BDX prices only go up from here for next few years, even at Costco.

Bought 3 and drank them all. Delicious wine, the alc. % seemed high, but it never poked out or showed and wasn’t all glossy for a nihht out like so many Napa wines. Bought it because of the NM 92 and I trust Neal and WK on BDX to align with my palate.

Stopped by Costco Boise #761 on Cole Road. Grabbed 3 more d’Issan at $47 and 3 Marquis de Calon Segur at $25. May go grab a case of Calon Segur at that price with AG94 and NM 92.

Ive had a couple and its a steal for $30. I did not detect any alcoholic heat and I normally like to stick to 14% or less.
