S. Seattle back to 2009 Dom, at a much higher $145 than the old $128, and Cristal along with 2016 Pontet Canet $150, Canon Gaffeliere $90, Clerc Milon $60, and Haut Bailly $115 and 2008 La Grande Dame for $108.
Cristal at $150? Is that a markdown?
Must be, that is very low
Cristal $229, sorry that wasnāt clear.
Costco Dallas- Churchill Way- has the J. Bookwalter Protagonist 2016 for $29.99. Suggested retail supposedly $60. Winemaker commented that this maybe their best vintage and it got 93 on both WS and JS. It is a very nice wine and one of their better deals currently at this Costco.
I saw this at the West Plano location as well. Same priceā¦In the abstract Iām not sure it represents a great QPR (i.e. a 93-point rich, ripe New World wine for $30), but it might be worth tasting to see if itās something I find particularly nice.
Thanks for the feedback! My fiancĆØe also loves champagne. Iāll have to have her try these out rather than keep buying bottles of Domaine Carneros to drink at $35/bottleā¦
The Domaine Carneros is a good one, too. I think it was on sale for under $30 a few months ago at Costco.
I had forgotten that the unfortunate part of the Costcos in Colorado is that initially grocery stores werenāt allowed to sell alcohol, so Costcos let 3rd party liquor stores open attached to them, but not a part of them (so no kirkland brand things included). They changed that a couple of years ago, but with caveats like if you want to sell more than beer you have to buy out the liquor licenses of all shops within a certain radius of you etcā¦ So some Costcos here still have the 3rd party liquor store attached to them that wouldnāt sell the license so that Costco store can only sell beer. No wine or liquor.
Iāll have to re-figure out which ones close to downtown Denver have a full liquor license and keep an eye out for that deal!
Yesterday the Elk Grove, CA Costco had several '08 Dom Perignons put at $137.99 per. (They also still have some '09)
2016 Bordeaux starting to show up in WI.
Pontet Canet about $150
Gloria $49.99
Brane Cantenac $74.99
Hoping to see some Pichon Lalande, but I wonāt hold my breath.
Still no 2016 Sassicaia at my local Costco in SE Wisconsin. Seeing as how they just got in the '08 Dom last week, perhaps not surprising that other offerings are hitting the store at the same pace as other markets. Fingers crossed it lands soon!
why are you expecting Sassicaia at Costco? Jeez Iād buy every bottle they had if I see it at mine.

After bad-mouthing the Pentagon City store, I feel obliged to say that I picked up some 2008 Dom for $149 and change today.
Oh, it finally came in!! Nice. Did they have opus one or anything else? I noticed the case was sorta empty last week
Didnāt look. Took the slip to the register as soon as I saw they had the 08s
