Has Costco finally run through its 2019 Bordeaux?

Iâve seen Siran and maybe a few other bottlings in the same price range but looks like 2020 is more prevalent in store.

Still a bit left in AZ but slim pickings for sure. Snagged a couple bottles of Chateau Nenin a couple days ago.
PA used to have a ridiculous policy that allowed returns with no time limit. Dressner decided to stop selling to the PLCB at one point. Now itâs like a 10 day return policy, but thatâs the Commonwealth for you.

Vegas has some 19s and now some 20s. Nothing exciting left here either.

I couldnât resist this Premier Cru Chablis for $24. Itâs pleasant enough with Lemon flavors, some leesy character, and oyster shell minerals. Acidity is pretty soft, however, and the finish is short. Would skip in favor of a Clos de Briords or similar Muscadet.

Also at Santa Clara 10/9. My guess is this is only available in the Bay Area or maybe Northern CA.

Iâve returned corked bottles to Costco on several occasionsâŚprobably 4-5 times over the last 7 years. They always gave me a refund once I explained that the bottle was defective/corkedâŚI did have to explain what âcorkedâ meant, and was very clear that this was NOT a case of me simply not liking the wine. The only time I ever had a problem returning (unopened) wine was when I took it in and it was still cool from my cellarâŚApparently they have a policy that they wontâ allow wine returns if the wine has been cooled in a cellar (as bizarre as that is). So now I know to let it sit out at room temp for an hour or so before heading to the store to return any unopened bottles.
