Screaming Eagle, the exclusive Napa Valley winery famous for producing wines of exceptional quality, may be the American wine world's most extraordinary. Known for its limited production and high demand, bottles of Screaming Eagle can fetch prices in the thousands of dollars on the secondary market. However, recent reports have revealed that Costco, the retail giant known for bulk buys and unbeatable bargains, is adding a touch of luxury to its aisles with the addition of the coveted Screaming Eagle wine.

Still waiting for your bottle of Screaming Eagle? You can apparently pick one up at Costco instead. One surprised customer has found a bottle of the cult Napa brand Screaming Eagle in their local branch of Costco in America. California's Screaming Eagle produces some of the most coveted wines in the world. And you might be able to score a rare bottle at Costco.

The auction, which also is offering classic Napa wines from the cellar of a “noted connoisseur”—including a case of 1968 Beaulieu Vineyards—has caused quite a stir in the wine world. Several Costco locations are currently selling bottles of the hard-to-find Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon for a reduced price, making it more accessible to wine lovers who have been on a waiting list for years.

Costco sells a $3,700 bottle of Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, which usually has a 12-year waitlist. People wait years to get their hands on this Napa Valley wine. Here are the Bay Area Costco stores where you can find it. This unexpected turn of events has wine enthusiasts rushing to their nearest Costco location in search of the elusive Screaming Eagle wine at a fraction of the usual cost.
