The idea of this thread is to help fellow forumites to track down some good buys at your local Costco. With the ever popular '00 Bordeaux at Costco thread, a good number of the forumites were able to benefit from it, so hopefully this new thread will be kept alive and well to serve it's purpose.
If you find some hot items, please take down the item number and pricing regardless if you are going to buy them.
Of course, timing is very important, especially for the smaller allocation items such as the 2001 Rieussec. So after you bought what you need, please take a quick moment to post the information (store location, wine, price, item #)so other forumites have the chance to get in on the good deal.
Novato Costco 2004 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc $12.69, item #296058 N.V. Buller Fine Tokay 375ml $10.99, item #296058
For those chasing the WS Top 100, some Costcos still have the 2001 Lafite at $129.99 including Novato, but I don't have the item# for this, sorry.

1999 d'Yquem at Fountain Valley, CA for $135, don't know item # (or whether it's a good buy?). this store also HAD 2001 Rieussec for $45 w/3 limit a few weeks ago.

For anyone who's interested the Costco at Damen and Diversey has 2001 Ausone for about $180 (I can't remember exactly, but it was around that price). That strikes me as a decent but not staggering price.
They also have Phelps Backus 2000 for $140. No thank you to that.
******* Not looking good for next year either.

1989 Lafite Rothschild 750's @ $289. Its all over winesearcher.com for $160 and the more recent reviews are not that good. "Buyer beware." works at Costco too.
Sooner or later it all gets drunk. The only questions are, "By whom?" and, "When?"

quote:Originally posted by andy_los_angeles: Costco at Norwalk, Los Angeles County, CA
4. 2001 St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2001 $11.99, WS 86, retail $22
7. 2001 Casa Lapostolle Cabernet Sauvignon Colchagua Valley Cuvée Alexandre $$14.99, WS 91, retail $19
Man, do I wish Costco could sell wine in Canada! The St. Francis Cab sells here for C$30, the Lapostolle $34, and no one can undersell those gov't monopoly figures. The prices posted above make me weep.
I'm not sure exactly how my purchasing and drinking habits would change if we could buy wine at the Costco kinds of prices, but my bank balance would sure be different after a dinner party.

Rhone Warrior...They have built several in Cleveland over the last few years, so maybe Columbus will be next. But for the few dollars you save I would not Wish for one...
Thomas, Is it the '89 Margaux or Lafite that's been sitting in the office for 2 years? What is their policy on returning corked wine? Is it worth a flyer?
It's very similar to Sam's Club (with the whole warehouse-like thing going on and membership required) but in my opinion, it's a lot better than Sam's Club.
