Costco is trying to get rid of this wine. It used to be 16$, but Tuesday when I went it was marked down to $11.97 (anytime you see a 7 as the last digit of the price, that means that they are trying to get rid of the inventory). I would imagine that a lot of people look at this wine and immediately go to the Champagne, which is significantly more expensive, and honestly, I don't think nearly as good. Too bad for them. You can drink Veuve Clicquot at 35-40$ if you want, but I don't know why when you could drink this. This comes from Burgundy, and utilizes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I'm going to guess that it's mostly Chardonnay because of the strong pear component. Toasty, with aromas of bread, pears, green apples, and a smidgeon of vanilla. Once in the mouth, pears supported by some citrus. Made in a richer style, but not flabby. Perhaps somewhat unsophisticated, and straightforward, but I enjoyed this bottle of wine immensely. A-
