[CA Only, Costco] Ritz Reserve Champagne Half Bottle Case Deal

Barons de Rothschild ‘Ritz Reserve’ Champagne Brut 375 ml 12-pack

Direct Link

$249.99 ($20.83/btl)

Shipping included

You don't need a Costco membership to buy alchol in CA (and other states according to The Krazy Coupon Lady) though I'm unsure whether this applies to online orders.

Commentary

Interesting to see Costco with a shipped wine deal. Would be nice to see this available in more states.

These are half bottles. The price per ounce is eerily similar to this Ritz Reserve Rose deal from First Bottle last year. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of those bottles and really wish I'd bought more. The stuff is fantastic.

I'm unsure how I feel about the half bottle format. I tend to open bubbles with company and go through a couple 750mL bottles. Sure, I could simply open more half bottles, but the size seems a bit odd for celebrating good times.

This is Costco the description lacks the storyline that occupancy levels have been off at Ritz hotels worldwide due to Covid. But I have to believe there's some truth to that. Cheers to a good deal and getting back to travel this year...
