I reviewed this wine more than a year ago, and really enjoyed it then at a price point of $14.99. I was a little surprised to see the same wine, same vintage, back at Costco just this week with a price tag of almost half of the old one, only $8.99. So it was an …

At the end of every year we look back at the previous 12 months of reviews and assemble a list of the highest rated wines we enjoyed from Costco. But first let’s take a quick look back at 2014, which was another big year for the site. We moved to a new hosting platform and responsive design …
It’s always difficult to find the perfect Thanksgiving wine that everyone will unanimously agree pairs perfect with the hodge podge of food and flavors that are typically served on Thanksgiving tables around the country. I tend to opt for a variety of different wines, and enjoy tasting them all at the same time with the …
This was a pleasant, food friendly Chardonnay that I found to be a decent buy for $15.99 at Costco. This Chardonnay falls more into the creamy, oaky style than I normally prefer, but it was delivered in such subtle doses and balanced so nicely that I came to rather enjoy the wine by the end …
I’ve always enjoyed the Grand Reserve Chardonnays from Kendall Jackson because they taste great and the Costco price is always remarkable. For 2012, which was a banner growing year in California, the Grand Reserve returns to Costco shelves, and for the bargain price of $12.99. Do a quick search online and see how many online …
Louis Latour is an wine-exporting legend. They are negociants who bring a sizeable number of decent French wines to foreign markets dating back to the 70’s, if not before. Among their bestknown exports is the Pouilly-Fuisse. Occasionally, it will appear on Costco’s shelves – most recently in 2010. Well, it’s back …
Since it’s right around mid-year, I wanted to take a minute to outline the wines that we’ve really enjoyed so far in 2014. Below is a list of wines that we scored 90 points or above, and that we highly recommend you keep an eye out for at Costco. Most of these will be gone, …
Editor’s Note: An interesting thing happened as we reviewed this year’s Kirkland Russian River Chardonnay. Two of us (myself and Michael) tasted the wine on our own, independently without each other knowing, and we came to two completely different conclusions. This is a first for the site, but I’m kind of glad it happened. This really …
I’m not sure why (summertime perhaps, and Sauv Blancs are wearing me out) but I’ve been gravitating toward a lot of the Costco Chardonnays that I’ve found stocked at the stores around the Atlanta area. One thing that stands out from my sampling is that Chardonnay lends itself to much different characteristics depending on where it …
The Sparrow Hawk doesn’t actually exist. In the U.S. it is a misnomer for the sharp-shinned hawk, although it might also be used to refer to a kestral or a Cooper’s hawk. In sharp contrast to misnamed birding designations, 2012 Sparrow Hawk Reserve Chardonnay actually does exist and is being sold at Costco for $12.99. …
Now that summer is here, it’s time for the influx of white wine reviews because I truly enjoy whites with the hot weather and much of the summer cuisine we cook around the house. Last week I reviewed the Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay, which I found to be a well assembled wine but not exactly to my …
This is a Sonoma County Chardonnay staple that was $19.99 at my Costco, and from what I’ve seen that price is $2-$4 less than almost anywhere else. This wine is not my favorite style of Chardonnay, just a tad too oaky and buttery for my tastes, but it delivers exactly what many Chardonnay fans love and it does it …
I was excited to see a White Burgundy at Costco priced at $13.99, and knew right away that I had to give this wine a shot. But my excitement leveled off as we got into this one. I found it to be a simple Chardonnay, light on flavor, that was really easy to drink of …
You don’t find many white burgundies under $12 and most of them are not as good as this one. Priced at $11.99 at Costco, this is a thoroughly enjoyable expression of Chardonnay that I imagine most white wine fans will enjoy. Bright and vibrant on the nose, this wine really lets the fruit shine through …
Reviewed by Michael S Combine a very good value wine at Costco with a $2.00 discount and you’ve got one tasty treat. First, my bias disclaimer: I’ve been very impressed with Columbia Crest’s H3 line of wines over the years. They’ve offered one of my favorite Merlots and their Cabernet Sauvs have been quite nice. …
