An easy buy here on this Albarino we've never seen at Costco before and coming in at $13.99.
Spain just overdelivers in so many ways and Albarino is one of them. These are such fun white wines and a nice change of pace from the usual white wine suspects.
Online this wine is ranging from $17-$24 a bottle, so Costco's price is right on. And the price of Albarino seems to be climbing lately so finding a good one under $15 is becoming harder.
This might be that bottle; really tasty all around, and a perfect summer wine. It is a medium yellow in the glass with a slight gold tint; floral nose of white flowers, light citrus; in the mouth, flavors of peach, green apple, pear, some grapefruit; good acidity and crisp in the finish.
This is just what we hoped for from a new name in Albarino for us. We probably should have stocked up for summer because this one would be perfect for the beach, boat or pool.

Concerning Albariño, we found the 2021 Turonia Albariño at Costco in Naples, FL for $14.99. The wine is well balanced and structured and a tremendous buy at the price. If you see it, try it.
With regard to the Comte de la Chevaliere Sancerre, I have to disagree with you. It is watery and disappears on the finish.
Enjoy your reviews.
Thank you.
