Alright, here it is, our annual list of the highest rated Costco wines that we tasted during the year. I have to put out the usual disclaimer. Like every item at Costco, wine moves fast, it’s here one day, gone the next, never to be seen again. So it’s very possible that many of these …

Here’s an interesting Costco wine item that one of our readers, Eric N, first alerted us to on Twitter. This trend in alcohol related advent calendars seems to be really catching on. I know Aldi has one or two. And I’ve heard that Costco has a beer Advent Calendar too but haven’t seen it in …
We are fortunate that there are nine Costco locations in and around the Atlanta area where we live. Some have a different and/or better wine selection than others, and it’s fun to go to new stores and see what they might carry. The Great Costco Hunt. If you live in a smaller metro area it’s …
Everyone loves a bargain, and that’s obviously a big reason we all love to shop at Costco. We’ve had a nice little run of inexpensive Costco wines lately that we’ve reviewed, and so I wanted to combine those, with some other Costco classic under $10 to arm you with a nice list of wines for …
It’s finally here. We’ve been working on this one for a while now and I’m super pumped to finally put it out in the world and be able to share it with you. Our new book “Decoding Spanish Wine: A Beginner’s Guide to the High Value, World Class Wines of Spain” is now available in …
Ironically, the 2012 vintage of one of our favorite Chiantis is the last vintage that we’ve seen at Costco stores near us. And that’s a really bummer because year after year this wine is a screaming buy for $20. We last looked at this wine in January of 2017, at which time I mentioned I’d …
Willamette Valley Vineyards is one of the largest, if not the largest, producers of Pinot Noir in Oregon. I’ve been a big fan of the wines I’ve tried from them, notably the Whole Cluster Pinot that is regularly recognized as a top value buy in Oregon Pinot. It’s also a wine that I listed as …
We had a chance to speak with Business Insider all about tips and tricks for finding the best deals on wine at Costco. We’ve shared a few of these tips before, but this might be the most exhaustive and complete list of Costco wine buying advice ever assembled in one place, Some of the tips …
Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2018 was just announced. This is the editors’ annual list of the wines they enjoyed the most throughout the year. You’ll see a lot of different wines representing regions all over the world, and at various price points. We went through the list and called out some of the …
It’s time for our annual Thanksgiving wine picks from Costco. Last year, we were visiting California and posted from a store in Irvine (amazing selection by the way). This year, we’re going to try to pick some recently reviewed wines in hopes that they are still available in your local warehouse. As with all things …
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a full year since we posted our last round up of our Highest Rated Costco Wines. Maybe it’s all the wine we’ve been drinking, but it seems like the last 12 months have flown by. Before we dig into the latest list of highest rated wines, I want …
I’m really excited to introduce the official Costco Wine Blog discussion forums. This gives you, our readers, a place to go to discuss Costco wines, to share your latest finds and where you found them, to cover many many more wines than we ever could through the blog. Nothing is changing as far as blog …
Most of the time when we’re browsing the wine selection at Costco, we look at the labels, the price, maybe read the description on the white price tag and check out the point ratings. But each one of Costco’s wine tags is packed with valuable information that you can use to learn more about the …
Here’s the next wine in our Cellar Series, where we revisit favorite Costco wines from the past that we’ve put away in the cellar to (hopefully) capture the benefit of a few more years of age; or at least to get an idea of how these wines will evolve, just for the curious. Like our …
First off, thank you all for following and supporting this site. It’s a lot of fun for us to do, and it’s really awesome to connect a bunch of like-minded Costco wine fans all with the same mission – to find really good wines at great prices. We continue to grow traffic wise every month …
