Costco pricing is essentially original futures pricing so I would strongly suggest keeping that in mind when comparing pricing, and CV, buy, buy, buy.

Re: BWE in the 916
Nice notes and recap Arv.
And Joel, is Cantenac Brown ever more than $100? I generally find this Cantenac property a little too modern leaning for my palate and instead routinely buy D’Issan and Giscours for my future Margaux enjoyment at similar price points.

Lol. Sure, go ahead and blame me. It's amazing that a 1er cru Monopole is the cheapest wine in Mugniers's lineup. About a quarter of the price of his Chambolle village.

Nice note and that’s generally a great wine. My 3rd Tuesday group has always liked sticking a mystery wine from another region into a themed blind lineup and I remember this wine faring well in a lineup of ‘82 Bdx.

Re: 2004 Vintage
Or you can go with the poster child of the modernist movement in Gerard Perse’s Chateau Pavie. My guess is the vintage conditions saved it from being as flagrant as some of the surrounding vintages.
I do also like Jim’s SHL suggestion.
