Costco Wine Alerts

P pyangMember
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. Frown

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. Smile

Thanks for the list, Dave! Nice meeting you at the Wine Club tasting ... an offline would be great. I'm really curious about the Suduiraut now :-)


Thanks,
Peter

The Costco's in Tampa definately do not get the quality wine that the rest of the country seems to get, but then I guess that's the price one pays for living in Paradise (kidding)!

Our local Sams Club (South Tampa) currently has the #60 2000 Ca' Bianca Barolo for $29 (that's a great buy for a 92 pt. Barolo)! There were about 2 cases there over the weekend. Smile

Brighton Costo grand opening kind of a dud. The store was packed with people with full shopping carts but the wine department yielded no spectacular bargains. To be fair, there were some good prices on QPR and I did pick up a few items. They had Columbia Crest Reserve Syrah which I have not tried yet but did pick up a few bottles. I was hoping to find the Cab and Merlot reserves which I had before and really liked.

They had:

Opus One $129 didn't write down the vintage but there was a 3 bottle limit

Grgich Cab $51, didn't write down the vintage

Dom Perignon 1996 $100

Ridge Montebello 2002 Cab $74

Heitz Cabernet 1999 $104
