This is below futures prices and they have fewer than 150 bottles left. I am watching the inventory until it goes down to one or two cases. Then maybe I will pull the trigger.

How can you know the inventory level?

Add wine to your "Shopping Cart". I use a large number such as 1000 etc.; before you check out it will tell you how many bottles are left. Then just cancel the order (unless you really want them all).

Ahh, very clever!

05 Ducru is back, still a little high at $120 but still a good buy.

That was fast! Seems to be gone.

Costco - Waltham, MA

2006 Caymus Special Selection for $106.99. Decent price, couldn't resist.

2006 Montes Purple Angel for $39.99 at the I-10 store

Good to see this thread is alive and kicking, approaching 200,000 views...

Not a wine, but related, this showed up at my Costco recently:

Kirkland branded Macallan 15 yr sherry wood scotch for $50. I bought a bottle, but haven't tried it yet.

The Costco in St. Charles, IL. apparently has several wines at 33% off. Picked up..
2005 Almaviva for $40
2005 Montes M for $40
2005 Penfolds RWT for $40

They also still have plenty of the 2005 Don Melchor for $53.

Costco does a great job with their wine selection. We have one about a block from a BevMo and Costco beats them hands down every time we compare...especially with the quality/price of their international selections!

Coon Rapids, MN:

Went to re-up on the Clos du Marquis Saint Julien at 19.97 last night and got the name of the other bordeaux. Also closing out Les Pagodes de Cos Saint Estephe 2005 for 19.97.

Was my initial post from last night about the Clos du Marquis deleted for some reason? It seems to have been removed...

Was the Clos du Marquis 2005 as well?

That would be outrageous for many who bought it at $100. are you sure it is RWT ? not St Henri.
LoL

The 05 RWT is going to be the best one Penfolds has made to date. That price doesn't sound right.

And at it's current pace, it will overtake the moribund 'please ignore this post' thread in views by 2013 and in replies by 2028!

and
2005 Ch Margaux @ 499.97 ! but couldnt resist and i bought them all.

pretty amazing prices considering what they sold for a year ago! sometimes it pays to wait

I noticed a few new closeouts at costco recently that are ending in 98 cents now. So keep an eye out for .98 as well as .97 in the price.
