This might not be the first bottle you gravitate to if you’re not familiar with it, or haven’t tasted many white Bordeaux, but white wine fans should take note.  This is a fantastic wine at a great price. The retail price is around $19.99 and Costco is selling for $13.99; gotta love that.  Critic scores …

I almost passed this bottle up thinking it was the Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Cuvee that we reviewed last year, and really enjoyed. The similarities are uncanny: the price, the label, the varietal blend, the origin (both Limoux Brut Rosé); the ABV, but different vintages, 2017 vs 2018. But then I noticed this one was …

I still would like to see Costco’s price …

There’s good news and bad news with the latest vintage of this Kirkland bottle. We’ll start with the bad news, the price going up $2 to $19.99. In the last vintage we reviewed, the 2016, it was priced at $17.99. Even at $17.99, we enjoyed, but weren’t in love with, that vintage. The good news …
