We’ve been on a string of great Costco wine buys, all landing right in that $12.99 price range (this one, this one), and here’s one more to add to the list. E Guigal is one of those names to commit to memory as they consistently kick out great wines for the money. This is their …

I found a lot to like about this Costco wine find. First off, obviously is the unique “natural pottery” bottle inspired by artists from the South of France. It’s a pretty cool presentation, and instantly was noticed by guests as it was sitting around my house on the day we were to open it. The …
Long time readers will know that I’m a Bordeaux lover, particularly left bank, and I love finding them at Costco because more times than not, the price is impossible to beat. We saw this with the 2015 Pontet-Canet that I found at Costco for $99, and the next day saw the same bottle at Total …
Here’s a super tasty Chablis that comes in at a great Costco price of only $16.99, making it among the lowest priced Chablis that we’ve seen in the warehouse. And best of all, it doesn’t skimp on quality. This is the little sister to the Domaine Thierry Mothe Grand Cru Chablis that we reviewed a …
I was first alerted to this wine from a reader via Twitter and was anxious to try it. I’m a fan of Chinon wines and this one is priced at Costco for $12.99, which is pretty good for wines from the region. Retail price on this bottle appears to be closer to $20. Inside is …
OK, this might be the most ridiculous Kirkland wine buy that we’ve ever tasted. The Kirkland CDR Villages just keeps getting better and better every year. Last year around this same time, I reviewed the 2017 vintage and bumped it up to 88 points, from a previous 87. This year there is no doubt that …
Whether I’m shopping at Costco, Total Wine or any of my other go to wine spots, I’m always on the look out for Chablis, and if I find Grand Cru Chablis, that’s just a bonus. Most bottles of Chablis represent an expression of Chardonnay that works for me. I love the fruit forward approach, with …
I love finding wines like this at Costco and this one turned out to be even more of a gem than I expected. A 2015 Saint Emilion Grand Cru for $16.59. What a deal. My first reaction is a little skeptical but then consider the monstrous ratings from virtually every critic that are all 90+ …
This was the only Rose at my Costco on the day I was there that I hadn’t tasted before, so I figured I’d give it a shot. And I’m glad that I did and have the chance to report back to all of you. This wine is absolutely delicious and completely caught me off guard. …
Long time readers know that I always like to taste the various inexpensive Bordeaux that seem to land in the “Cheap Seats” (aisles of wine, not wooden boxes) on a regular basis. It’s almost like they cycle in regularly; when one’s gone another one arrives. And you don’t always see the same producers year after year, …
There are a lot of interesting aspects to this wine. First up, we reviewed the 2012 vintage two years ago (don’t remember seeing a 2013 at Costco but I may have missed it) and really enjoyed the wine rating it 88 points and we found it to be a great value for the price which …
When I see a new Cotes du Rhone hit Costco under $10, it’s always a no brainer and lands in the cart with almost zero thought. This is a bottle I had never seen before, and the price was right at only $7.49. On top of that, on the back label the winery proudly promotes …
I always love finding Chablis at Costco, and the Louis Jadot is one of those bottles that seems to appear frequently, but this is the first time I picked one up and tasted it. And I’m glad I did. This is a solid wine for $19.99, which is a nice discount from its $25 retail …
I just picked this one up the other day and wanted to get the review out as soon as possible. This Rosé has a retail price around $20, and Costco’s standard price was $15.69, which is pretty good and in that 20% off retail range like many of Costco’s wines. But it has a special …
Here’s a bottle that’s perfect for summer drinking on a hot day, particularly around a pool or at the beach, and Costco’s price is right. This French Rosé is $14.99 for the big 1.5L bottle. That’s a lot of Rosé, but if you’re like me it has a tendency to go down pretty fast when …
