Nice. Nothing says class like a Brut Rose from Champagne. Especially a well thought out blend that is 50% Pinot Noir, and the balance Pinot Meunier and Chard. From a (once) respected property that hold many Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
Noting except the Kirkland logo across the top.
Proves that everyone, even family owned grower Champagnes, has a price. Kudos to Costco for setting that price. Do we know if they will import Yellowtail proportions or will this be a few cases per store scenario?
Macallan 18 Year Single Malt taste was disappointing. I could not drink that stuff. I returned the bottle and got full credit.
Some Costco wines are very good for the price. I like Kirkland’s MEDOC burgandy wine.
