My first time doing a zoom wine tasting. 2 hours later....so me and 3 friends bought the Aldi wine advent calendar. 2 of us had the Brut Rosé and 2 had the Merlot (evidently the calendars aren’t all the same, go figure)! I’m not a big sparkling wine person so this was not an exciting wine for me. The cheese and chocolate were terrific though. However, I learned a lot about camping, dogs, local restaurants, Bourbon and Christmas decorations! Oh what fun it was tonight!! — 6 years ago

Drank 12\15\20
A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.
From 325 mL.
Nose of black cherry, plums, and flowers. Think Rhone, without the garrigue. Similar flavors. Firm, but well integrated tannins, with a long, dry, dusty finish. Probably my favorite selection from the box thus far. 89-90 pts, we'll go 90 due to the excellent pairing with lamb kebabs.
3\22\7\4\4 +50 =90 pts — 6 years ago
Great merlot. Would love to try again. Advent — 6 years ago
Drank 12/18/20
A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.
From 325 mL.
Aromas of blackberry, smoke, and spice. Black berry and black cherry on the palate. Still French in feel, but perhaps a bit more fruit driven than most. Black fruits and tar with firm tannins on the finish.
3/21/7/3/4 +50 =88 pts.

Day 2 of the Costco advent calendar! Light, a little oaky with some hints of vanilla at the finish. Stellar alcohol content as it gave me a proper buzz! — 6 years ago
