| Six organically grown options from California vintners at Costco (for less). |
I stopped by the newly opened Costco in Napa to see for myself what treasures its wine department might offer, after much hype. I was a little underwhelmed. I think it was just too much hype.
Yes, there are gems. But not that many.
BUT, many organically grown wines from fine producers were for sale – and for less than other outlets.
One could certainly put together a great gift basket including any of these bottles. Or just find good wine for everyday drinking or special occasions.
