Costco sightings
I saw 10 Yr Cockburn (500 ml) and 10 yr Kirkland (750 ml) both for about $16-17 yesterday.

Re: Costco sightings
Otima 10, Dow LBV 2006, Bin 23 are the only non Kirkland ports available at my closest Costco.

We have had Quinta do Portal 20 year old Tawny here for a year or so now.

Re: Costco sightings
What? Where??? I check the wine dept at the Issaquah Costco every time I'm there and I've never seen the Portal 20-yr old there. Am I just blind?Roy Hersh wrote:We have had Quinta do Portal 20 year old Tawny here for a year or so now.

Re: Costco sightings
All we ever get in Everett is Bin 27 and Otima 10 - blech.
I did enjoy the Kirkland/Fonseca 10 year, but that has already disappeared.
I probably should've bought a case considering it's price, but too late now.

Re: Costco sightings
I saw Graham's 20 year offered at $30 today at Costco. I saw some bottled in 2009 and some bottled in 2011, pulling up a few randomly.

Re: Costco sightings
I hope you bought. That's a great price for any 20 Year Old Tawny!Brian C. wrote:I saw Graham's 20 year offered at $30 today at Costco. I saw some bottled in 2009 and some bottled in 2011, pulling up a few randomly.

Re: Costco sightings
I had this before and I was relatively indifferent about it. I just mention it because there might be others who like it better. Also, I wonder if this deal is a sign of things to come in the overall market.

Re: Costco sightings
Costco has been lean on port around Boston for a while. Dow LBV 2006 I think for around $13 is the only thing of interest.

Re: Costco sightings
Considering it's the price of most 10 year old tawny's it's a pretty good deal. And IMO I would rather have this than some 10 year olds for around the same price. But obviously everyone has different likes and dislikes so YMMV.Brian C. wrote:I had this before and I was relatively indifferent about it.

Re: Costco sightings
I saw a couple of bottles of 2009 Taylor VP under lock and key, with no price tag. I did not inquire further as to the price, as that could have taken a good 10 minutes, and I don't think my wife was interested in waiting for that. Anybody see this at their local Costco, with a price tag?
