We realized a nice upside surprise on this bottle. While I think Australian wines overall seem to be trending in the right direction in terms of price and quality, I’m still never quite certain what I’m going to get when I pour that first glass. I’ll admit the 93 points from Wine Enthusiast listed on …

I just found this one last night at an Atlanta area Costco, and given the big limited time discount, I wanted to get it up on the site right away. Online this bottle seems to go for around $22-$23, so in line with Costco’s standard price, but when you add the hefty $9.50 discount, it …
We just reviewed the Daou Cabernet, also from Paso Robles and loved it, awarding the wine 90 points, and a spot on our Top Picks list. Costco brought that one in around the same price point as this Justin bottle, so we have two very solid offerings from Paso worth exploring in stores right now. …
When it comes to wines from the U.S. outside of Napa and Sonoma, I’ve said before I’m really enjoying a lot of reds from WA State, and I am finding them to be good values. Oregon of course, New York’s Finger Lakes and I think Virginia is an up and comer. Paso Robles is another …
This is always a welcome sight in the Costco wine aisles as it has consistently proven to be a very nice California Cabernet for a reasonable price. I’m also happy to see it arrive at the same price as last year, $13.99 which is a healthy discount to most other outlets that sell this wine …
Right on the heels of the new Kirkland Barolo that we just tasted and really enjoyed, we are lucky enough to have Costco also grace us with a classic Kirkland favorite, the Oakville Cabernet. Costco’s Kirkland label produces a number of Cabernet from Napa including a Rutherford, a Napa Valley blend, and a Stags Leap, …
I’m always on the look out for new wines arriving at Costco that I’ve never seen carried before, and this one caught my eye, at first because of the $7.99 price tag but then I noticed “single vineyard” and became even more curious what was inside. Obviously, the cute label and branding was noticeable, and …
I didn’t know much about this wine when I popped it in the cart; mainly just going on the notion that I like big reds from Washington State and for $12.99, this one seemed like it could be a good buy. I also noticed the 92 point score from Wine Spectator that doesn’t hurt either. …
This is an interesting bottle that caught my eye. It’s a Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon from Valencia, Spain, made from organic grapes, it’s a 2014 vintage so it has a couple years in the bottle, with a 93 point Wine Enthusiast score and the price was right at $9.99. I did a quick Google search to …
I’ve had several readers alert me that one of our favorite Kirkland wines was available in the latest vintage, and that would be this Stags Leap Cabernet which I’m always anxious to try. This vintage did mark another price increase, up to $23.99, from a prior $21.99, and before that it was $19.99 which is …
This wine debuted about a week ago, and it’s one that I look forward to trying each year. In the past, Costco has also produced a Columbia Valley Merlot-Cabernet blend, although I’ve yet to see this in a couple of years it seems. I noticed that the latest vintage of the Signature Series Columbia Valley …
We had some readers post about the Kirkland Boxed Cabernet on the forum last year, and I was always curious about it but the boxes never appeared in stores near us to try…that is until a couple weeks ago. This box includes four bottles worth of wine and is priced at $12.99, which is pretty …
I’ve never heard of Northwest Ridge Winery and for some reason I decided to drop this bottle in my cart to see what it was all about. I noticed the 90 point Parker rating and the price was right at $13.99 (retail appears to be around $22, so Costco has a nice discount on this …
It took us a little while to get into this Argentinean red blend, but when we finally did, we really started to like it. I think it helped to give this wine a little air as well as to pair it with short ribs off the Big Green Egg, which was the ideal complement. This …
Another screaming buy for under $10, I was excited to dig into this wine. This is another one of those wines that I know I’ve read about somewhere, and made a mental note to remember it, so I would try it sometime. And that time is now. At $7.99 it’s a bargain; that’s off of …
