Curiosity killed the cat. Playing with my new Costco membership. Of all the wines I've had from St. Emilion, this is one of them.

This is nice. Don't know what I paid for it. Strong dark fruit presence with gripping tannins and a little minerality. I'm drinking it without food, and it would be much better with a bit of grilled something. But it's nice, I'll say it again.

This is a friendly little Nebbiolo. Structured nicely, with everything in its right place. Bright and juicy red berries, a touch of tar and tobacco, modest acidity and tannins. No need to age this one, it's ready to boogie.

2015 was an early harvest in Napa, but the fruit was very good, as this bottle demonstrates. At ten years of age, this wine is giving me a wonderful feeling in my mouth, with soft, leathery tannins. It's not jammy but rather has dark cherry, cedar, and eucalyptus on the palette. It could lay down a few more years, but it's superb today. I got lucky, this bottle was at my grocer's surrounded by 2020's. Grab a bottle if you see one.

I've had worse! But 2017 edges this one out slightly. This 2018 is less complex, but shows pleasant flavors of green apple, melon, grass... a stiffer finish than previous vintages.

On the nose I can't get away from toasted marshmallows 🤷‍♂️ and honeysuckle. Not super acidic, this wine has a soft bite. It's a nibble. This wine is nibbling on my earlobe.

This is very good for $25. Particularly good is the luscious mouthfeel. Appealing flavors of tart cherry, vanilla, dough, green apple Jolly Rancher. Moderate tannins and acidity, which could probably make this wine do well for another 5 years plus. 100% Temperanillo. It's finally Friday!

Imagine I come home and tell you I bought a bottle of Zin at the grocery store for $17. Can you taste it? That's what this tastes like.

Not all Cortese is "bone dry." This would pass for a Cali chardonnay blind. Peach, melon, just a little grass. As Kramer would say, "It's very refreshing!"
