Costco Julia Wine Bottle Shock Bloc F
Well – here’s about the easiest review I’ve yet had to do: Stinker – good night, thanks for coming. OK – I’ll put in a little effort, but it won’t be nice. I’ve been very lucky to have been tasting many wines these past few months. This is the first time I stick my nose [...]
French Nose Cuvee No 1 from Costco
How’s this for a rave review: “It’s not nearly as horrible as I was expecting” If you’ve read a few posts here you know that I’m not much of a fan of supermarket wines. It’s actually a silly statement as by default, supermarket wines (in Quebec) are the bottom of the barrel. Costco has to [...]
Costco Zinzanie Review
After a few nice bottles I decided to go back to Costco. Zinzanie is the bottle’s name, another one from Julia Wine. I was hoping to get a nice, well priced Zinfandel (which I like). Not so lucky – what I got was a bottle full of yuk. From the get go the color seemed [...]
French Nose Cuvee #2 from Costco
I reviewed French Nose Cuvee #3 not that long ago and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I had been on a run of bad wines from Costco. Bad bottle after bad got me to question why I bothered. Taking one for the team was my thought while making the next Costco purchase. [...]
French Nose Wines Cuvée #3 at Costco

Cumpeo Bandit Bloc C Wine Review
The Cumpeo Bandit Robbed Me of $14.00 I keep trying Costco wines and I keep getting disappointed. One of these days I’m going to have to quit the habit. But – I take one for the team so that you know that you should be saving your scratch and heading to the SAQ. The more [...]
Julia Cellier No 56
I’ll be trying another wine from Julia Wines tonight, number 56. I’ve had mixed reviews so far for Julia Wine and their mysterious numbers. Tell me, ‘what’s a 56 is supposed to taste like?’ I had my first one at my old friend Dean’s place and rather enjoyed it. He explained what the concept was [...]
Julia Cellier No 49
The nose and the color of Julia Cellier No 49 offer some promise. Nice dark hue leads you to believe the drink will be full bodied and rich. The nose is more subtle and brings down your expectations a notch. Hints of berries and oak but nothing jumping out and grabbing your attention. Then the tasting. There’s just [...]
