Wine Finds at Burbank Costco
Dr. Debs at Good Wine Under $20 sings praises of Burbank Costco's wine buyer. Excerpt:
You see, Costco wine selections are determined by the store's buyer. Get a good buyer, you get good wine. Get a bad buyer--you get nothing but Chard and Cab and some very tired Australian shiraz that sits for 9 months. Finally, I asked the folks on Chowhound's wine board if they could tell me which LA area Costco has good wine. And the answer came, in the voice of Johnny Carson: beautiful downtown Burbank.Thank you, Burbank Costco wine buyer, for stocking two islands of bins and mountains of pallets with really, really good wine. You know you're in good hands when the pallets do not contain case after case of Clos du Bois but instead case after case of Cotes du Rhone.

Thanks, Eugene and Jason, for picking up my post. I'm usually shopping for wine "East of the 5" in Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena, so I hope your readers will swing buy and see what else I'm buying and drinking from local shops like Red Carpet, Mission Wine, Colorado Wine Company, and Chronicle Wine. Cheers!
