Official Costco Thread

Thanks! Interesting perspective for newer wine berserkers!

The death Star just indicates that they won’t be getting any more. Reduced prices usually end in 7 (sometimes 0 but have only seen for non -wine products).

Any thoughts on the Brughelli? I know there was a brief discussion on these a few years ago. There are almost no holdings in CT. In fact, there are more bottles of the chard in your photo than are listed in CT!

Uncalled for. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’d never even heard of it. Kind of stunned to see $150 Santa Maria PN and Chard sitting on a Costco shelf.

It’s hard to picture it moving. Not because I know it’s not good or not worth some price (I have zero idea), but other wines in the $100+ price point at Costco are well established brands and usually from more frankly prestigious locations like Champagne, Bordeaux, Napa and Tuscany.

It just seems like quite an outlier for Costco. I get that Dominus, Cristal, Mouton, Flaccianello, wines like that sell at high price points at Costco. I also get that when I walk around Hi Time there are plenty of expensive wines I haven’t heard of. But I struggle to picture the buyer and product and price coming together on this one.

I had not heard of it either, so did a search on WB and found a few brief discussions, but nothing of any substance. But it just kind of blew my mind that in your photo there are 16-17 bottles of the chard but there are only 9 bottles of the '21 and 13 bottles of the '20 in CT! FWIW, the '19 is listed for $260 on the Brvghelli website, so I guess the Costco pricing is “good.”

Maybe it ended up at Costco because the label is misspelled!!!

I believe the Costco card is misspelled. https://brvghelli.wine

They can charge 150 bucks for wine and they can’t afford a vowel? So sad

Well, vowels do cost $250.

Seattle SoDo aka Store 001 has the 2022 Petalos for $11.99. Didn’t check Winesearcher but that seems like a good deal.

Nice! I’d buy a case or two.

Took a flyer on this $22.00


Quite nice, restrained oak, good fruit, slightly bigger in style than my usual but would probably buy again.
