If its like prior vintages its from the village of Estraguez (sp?) and is a good quaff. Better than palatable!

These were at #471 today

BV ‘Napa’ CS $17 (I think this was the 2015?)
2016 Clos des Lunes ‘Lune d’Argent’ $11
2016 Dom. La Roche ‘blanc’ [Pessac Leognan] $6 (!!)
2014 Bolaire [Bordeaux] $11
2014 Mondavi ‘Oakville’ CS [Napa] $35
2015 Tourelles des Longueville [Pauillac] $20 (this is the 2nd or 3rd of Pichon Baron)

I picked up a bottle of the last one. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a Tourelles, maybe since the 89 vintage?

Also mags of the 2015 Fontallaro for $100 and double mags of the 2015 Nozzole CCR for $70.

Dang. I’d love to see that Pichon Baron 2nd for $20! I’d give Bolaire a shot, too, at $11.

Boca Costco on NYE.
What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone know of a Costco in nyc/long island that carries good stock of wines?

Brian_Pinci · January 2, 2019, 10:22pm

Which D.C. Costco is better? The one off route 50, Arlington/Pentagon, or Fairfax?

Jeff_Wilkinson · January 2, 2019, 11:04pm

Costco in Charlotte, NC had a case each of 2014 Nickel & Nickel Suscol Ranch Merlot and the Taylor Fladgate Historic Limited Edition 1L bottles for $49/each. Picked up a couple of each to try.

Kris_Patten · January 3, 2019, 2:48am

South sound Costco had splits of Warre’s 2016 Vintage Port for $36.

Sherr1_Shap1r0 · January 3, 2019, 5:48pm

Did you find anything good? I am there about once every two weeks and rarely find anything worth buying (in the wine section).

Dwizzo · January 3, 2019, 6:00pm

Never been to Fairfax, would love to hear from someone that’s been to both as well.

Scott_Brunson · January 3, 2019, 8:43pm

bought some cheap Italian wine which tasted like cheap Italian wine…
I rarely find goodies there (or in SC)

Rich_Brown · January 9, 2019, 10:46pm

08 Cristal here in AZ at $229. Pretty much WS Pro low and no shipping. Not too shabby.

ERPark · January 9, 2019, 10:58pm

Got a few bottles of 2016 Clos des Lunes Lune d’Argent for $9.97 yesterday.

Jason_Crawford · January 10, 2019, 12:34am

Costco CLT, on Tyvola Road, HAD magnums of 2014 Mondavi Oakville cab for $49.97. No 2008 Cristal.

Matt_G · January 10, 2019, 3:22am

5L 2012 Isosceles $449
San Juan Capistrano

Justin_S1 · January 10, 2019, 6:47pm

A 5L bottle is the most Coscto appropriate thing I’ve seen in this thread.

CJ_Beazley · January 10, 2019, 8:01pm

After all these years I finally got a deal, apparently returned after it was already sold through/deleted from system.

Mike_Van1 · January 10, 2019, 9:57pm

08 Cristal is $199 at Costco in Omaha. 04 Pommery Cuvée Louise is $99.

Rich_Brown · January 10, 2019, 10:04pm

Well damn. Just when I thought $229 was solid for 08 cristal here in AZ. Was it definitely the 08 vs. The 09?

Wonder if Costco would ever honor wine prices in other markets. Guessing not…but interested if anyone has ever asked.

Mike_Van1 · January 10, 2019, 10:08pm

Honestly I don’t remember the vintage. It might have been the 09. They had at least 8 bottles when I was there a little over a week ago.
