It’s been a little while since we’ve posted specifically about the Kirkland Champagne, which remains one of our favorite Costco wine buys, and an insane value for real French Champagne. It’s appeared in several of our feature stories, but we wanted to revisit it with a focused review. The last time we posted was back …

Here’s a new Champagne hitting the Costco shelves, and the first thing you notice is the super cool bottle design that is short and stubby; neat label too. The price was right at $27.99, which is a level where you rarely find real Champagne, outside of the $19.99 Kirkland Champagne, which we always enjoy. Online …
Here’s a solid Costco wine find for all you Champagne fans out there. The discounted price until 11/21 is only $20.99, which is $6 off a regular price of $26.99. That puts this right in the same territory as the $20 Kirkland Champagne that we love so much. Online the retail price of this Sophie …
As we’ve been drinking more Champagne, I’ve been wanting to buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot to see how it stacks up. I’ve had a few bottles over the years and have always enjoyed them. This Champagne is widely available and almost always in stock, at least in the stores around the Atlanta area. We …
Hi everyone, this is an oldie but goodie, that’s relevant with the New Year coming up. I updated a few things throughout, and be sure to read until the end to learn how to easily become a Champagne sabering rock star this New Years. (Practice on the Kirkland Prosecco, work your way up to the …
There’s been a bit of a debate going on among readers about the new bottle design for the Kirkland Champagne. The new bottle is shorter and wider (pictured on the right above), and some people have found it to taste differently than the original one. So I thought it would be fun to go side …
The Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne is a staple in Costco stores near me, and a bottle that I’ve been wanting to explore for some time. Costco’s price of $34.99 is pretty good considering retail is closer to $50, but the wine can be found online and at Total Wine for under $40. This wine is a …
Whenever someone asks me what the best buy in Costco wine is I typically recommend for that person to try all the Kirkland branded wines as they offer a fair value for the varietal and region represented. From there, decide what you like best. If pressed for a specific Kirkland wine to buy, this Kirkland …
I have definitely purchased these Kirkland Champagnes in the past, but just realized after searching through the archives, that I must not have reviewed them for some reason. Perhaps I purchased for a dinner party and didn’t make notes. Regardless, this is a real deal Champagne, meaning it is from the Champagne region of France. …
[originally published 7/19/21; updated 2/23/24] We thought we’d mix it up with a little feature where we’d answer the most common questions we receive from our readers. This site started more than ten years and 1000 wine reviews ago and has grown far beyond what we ever thought possible. It’s created a great community of …
We typically find the Decoy line of wines from Duckhorn to give a decent bang for the buck, and we’re seeing quite a few of them pop up at Costco nowadays. The last one we reviewed was the Sauvignon Blanc, which was pretty good. We were bigger fans of the Sonoma red blend, which we …
Thanksgiving is here upon us again, and we’re going to look through some recent reviews to try to pick out some good wines you can (hopefully) find at Costco for the big meal. This is always a fun list (here’s last years), and we tend to go a little all over the place in our …
[originally published 5/2020; last update 6/2023] One thing about shopping at Costco, which is on one hand the greatest thing ever, but simultaneously one of the most frustrating, is the idea of the “Costco find.” The term can apply to a couple different types of “finds” too. First, you have the item you’ve never seen …
We hold a special place in our hearts for Champagne. It’s just delicious and fitting for any occasion. But outside of Costco’s Kirkland Champagne which you can buy for $20, buying real Champagne on a regular basis can hit the wallet pretty hard. A really good solution is to explore France’s Cremants from various regions. They …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
