The store numbers are on the receipt. I would appreciate store information and hope that some are close to me. I don’t often see the interesting wines posted here.
When you shop at S. 4th in Seattle and it’s #1, its easy. PDX is #2 and Tukwila Business Center is #6.
Don’t recall any others.

Ahhh, interesting! I didnt know that…but then again, i almost always toss the receipts in the garbage as soon as i leave the store since you only need your Costco card for returns, ha!
To me, the general city/location description are much more helpful (and way easier to reference) but that could def be just a ‘me thing’

So does speaking only in terms of store numbers make one part of a secret club? I don’t understand what is so difficult about just giving the name of the city and state if the city itself isn’t that well known.

Pape Clement 2020 at $86 seems okay.
Grab two at Sunnyvale Costco, and saw a few at Almaden store too (Bay Area)

Habit for me as I was ITB in the northwest so you knew store numbers whether it was Costco, QFC, Safeway for merchandising. Everyone else is just pretentious.

I was gonna say, using Costco store numbers is the latest form of wine snobbery.

Soon someone will identify the terroir in each store.

Nah, but Seattle has superior natural humidity while Boise has low humidity and impacts wine with higher cork ridgidity!

Most stores seem to contribute an aroma of heated asphalt and petrol, but on rare occasion I’ve encountered fresh cut flowers and a melange of pizza, cheese, crackers, barbecue, sparkling water, and laundry detergent. But YMMV.

I’ve found that the Kirkland Chianti goes well with the pizza slices, but the hot dogs are a tougher pairing due to the mustard, relish and ketchup.

What a sight that would be. Sitting in the Costco cafeteria popping bottles and ordering pizza.

Maybe a future @CFu instagram wine video. Costco Cristal and Dom paired with the chicken bake thing.

Kirkland champers is your best bet imo

Hahaha, I’ve never gotten around to trying the chicken bake thing, I was always busy scarfing down pizza or the Italian sausage, lol. That stopped happening sometime right before I became a cardiac nurse…

Wait wait wait. The tasting note on Mt. Eden Chard says “aromas of trampled lemons on orchard floor.” Who is responsible for this level of impressively nuanced, yet wildly-unrelatable-to-the-general-public note?!

If I were going to try, I would try in the Washington DC Costco, hahaha.
