Redolent of fresh plums, green grass, and horse sweat.

This wine is insane. Just wish I had more.

A very solid Bordeaux blend. Aging a little weak.

9/25/2023 - Colpete Likes this wine:

A very solid crenant.

A very nice Oregon chard. I don’t like the wax cap; makes it hard to Coravin. So we had to drink the whole thing.

5/20/2023 - Colpete Does not like this wine:

There is a reason New Mexico is not a major wine producing state.

Well it’s everything you’d expect from Costco Champagne. Not great, but we drank it.

Pretty good. Not insanely good, but a solid red blend.

A very nice QTP ratio. A solid drink for under $20

Light and drinkable as befits a reasonably good unoaked chard. Didn’t make me tingle.

Excellent value.

Tastes of tobacco, leather and cantaloupe. A lovely Cali Cab.

A nice Burgundy. Notes of leather and lace.

Not bad not awesome. Notes of pear and green apple, with a tart serving of freshly cut grass

Not great but not Terrible. Ok for Tuesday night.

9/6/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Not the most complex or elegant sparkler, but not bad for a cheap Costco wine. Paired nicely with a curry chicken dish.

9/6/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

A very solid Oregon Pinot.

9/6/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

A nice Costco buy. Doesn’t make me tingle, but a good workhorse Spanish wine.

9/6/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Excellent. Light and clean. Great for summer.

6/24/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Cheapo vino from Costco. A bit rough around the edges, but perfect for pizza.

6/13/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

This Costco special is pretty darn good for Costco.

4/23/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Light and crisp, with notes of lemon and honeydew melon and freshly cut grass. A nice Condrieu.

3/31/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Lovely notes of pepper and rhubarb, with a very slight hint of tobacco. The aroma of wet cement on a summer day. Perfect with steak au poivre.

3/26/2021 - Colpete Does not like this wine:

Kool Aid. A dreadful sweet wine, with no body or acidity. Just awful.

3/15/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

An excellent GSM from Justin.

Wait. It stinks. Nobody else buy it.

3/13/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Rich and fruity. This is insane for a $23 wine. What a workhorse this will be for us. Notes of blackberry, with a hint of wet sand and tar.

The Duel: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Lion and the Bull. Who won? Will need to drink more to find out.

2/21/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Lovely Cali Pinot

1/22/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

A good enough workhorse white. Honeysuckle and green apples, with a whif of tar paper.

1/18/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Notes of Honeycrisp Aplles and roasted butterfly wings, with a hint of polyester. A lovely Burgundy!

1/10/2021 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Paired perfectly with braised short ribs. Perfectly offset the rich flavor. Notes of bark and rich loam, with a sexy feel. Definitely a brunette.

A nice champagne. Honeysuckle and green apples, with notes of fresh grass.

I’d give this a higher rating if it cost $20, but for the price it’s mediocre.

11/21/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Red and wet, with notes of cherry and coffee, with a gritty feel like sandpaper and peanut butter.

11/2/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Perfectly serviceable weekday wine. We paired with some
Grilled pork chops with a chipotle rub and BBQ sauce and it stood up well. Not subltle complex or sophisticated, but good. Limestone and rhubarb with cherry notes.

10/29/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Perfectly adequate but thin and weak. It is inoffensive but nothing special. Notes of orange marmalade and new car smell with a dash of flint.

10/13/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Adequate. Drink now if you have it, but don’t serve it to good friends. A mother-in-Law wine.

10/10/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Excellent at low price point. Had with some hot paprika backed salmon and it rocked. Not super complex or crazy good, but a solid weekday wine.

10/1/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

Thin and weak. Not bed, but a puny example of a Napa Cav.

9/26/2020 - Colpete Likes this wine:

A lovely Cali Cab. Power and balance. Great with a nice porterhouse. Black cherries, tar, a note of rocky road ice cream.
