Which of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2020 Are At Costco?

Which of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2020 Are At Costco?

Today, Wine Spectator released their annual Top 100 wines of the year list. We always like to call out which ones we’ve seen at Costco.

But this is a group effort. Everyone has to help because the selection is going to vary around the country. And this year I only found two from the list that we reviewed.

There were several we’ve reviewed in prior vintages including Four Graces Pinot (delicious), Beaucastel (can’t go wrong), Juan Gil Jumilla (but not Blue Label), and the Montecillo Rioja Reserva.

So here’s the full list with my notes. Please put in the comments if you’ve spotted any of these so we can all be on the lookout.
