Ok, so now we’re going to list all the wines for those who want to know what’s in the box. If so, you’ll want to pop over to this fantastic website created by the producer with info on the wines and fun videos about each one. If you made it this far, you must be really into these calendars like we are. I checked with my Costco and it is not in the system. Do not use 1480467, which is the old number for the second wine calendar. If you call your store to ask if they carry this, mention Costco item number: 1357643.
I hope the rest of the bottles are of the same quality as these two as they are both very good, nice representations of the varietal and region, and remain an amazing value at these price points.Īs I mentioned there is only going to be one Costco wine advent calendar this year, so you’re going to want to reference the correct Costco item number. This is a light and easy going Cab 13.7% alc. Pale to medium ruby in the glass, juicy nose of fresh cherry, medium in body, a lighter Cab flavors of red licorice, black cherry, plum easy finish. 12% alc.ĭay 23 – West Cape Gold Cabernet Sauvignon (South Africa) This one pours a pale straw and gold in the glass, juicy citrus fruit on the nose medium bodied, nice vibrant fruit and acidity, pleasant finish. I know Gruner and am happy to see that, but wasn’t familiar with the Hungarian white grape variety Zenit turned out to be a nice and interesting combo though. How ironic that it appears in the Advent Calendar.ĭay 19 – Pannonia Zenit-Gruner Veltliner (Hungary) And 19 was particularly interesting because it includes a varietal I frequently complain that Costco never carries (Gruner). I was impressed with the quality of both of them. So I’m going to ruin the surprise and give you some tasting notes on wines 19 and 23.
