Here’s a great Italian wine find right now in the aisles at Costco. Right away, we see that price ending in .49, which we’ve written about several times before. That indicates a special Costco price, and that’s indeed what we have here. This bottle is $19.99 at Wine.com, and hovers around $16-$17 most other places …

Here’s the newest vintage of the Kirkland Chianti Classico hitting stores now. We had a little surprise with a Kirkland Chianti Classico Gran Selezione making a debut in Costco last month. While priced a little higher than the standard Chianti Classico that Gran Selezione was delicious and we’ve still seen it still lingering in stores, …
This was a new find for us at Costco, a Tuscan blend from 2019 for $14.99 that looked interesting and worth a taste. Retail price on this bottle is around $20-$25 so we like Costco’s price a lot. Also a 92 point callout from Wine Advocate. We couldn’t determine the exact varietal makeup after poking …
This popular Kirkland wine usually appears in Q4, so we were a little late finding it around us, although we did hear from several readers who found it last month. But here it is, and it’s back with the same $19.99 price tag we love. You just can’t beat scoring a good Brunello at that …
Here’s an exciting new addition to the Kirkland wine family, and we were pumped when readers told us this one had started to appear in their stores, and we were finally able to find it near us. This is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, which is the top of classification scale for Chianti, above Riserva. …
This was an instant drop in the cart for us. Just the kind of wine we want to see land in Costco. First off, Rosso di Montalcino is what you want to see for a ridiculous quality to price ratio, and that’s what happened here. Yes, not an inexpensive wine at $22.99, but it’s $30 …
This is the second Barbera we’ve found at Costco in just a handful of weeks. What a treat to keep finding these (last one was delicious). If this bottle looks familiar, it’s because this is the same producer of the wonderful Gavi we found at Costco earlier this year. This short, stout bottle must be …
This snazzy label caught our eye, and we were surprised when the wine turned out to be a Vermentino. Especially considering the $12.99 price tag at Costco. What a find. Online this wine is selling for $20-22, and it doesn’t always come with the special bottle design. We didn’t find a lot of ratings for …
We love wines from Piedmont, but you don’t always see them at Costco, and not always at such a compelling price as this Barbera from a big name producer. So we were pleasantly surprised to see this bottle in stores for $13.59. Note the $.59 at the end. In case you missed our recent story …
It was a nice surprise to run into this Kirkland wine a little earlier than normal. Last year we didn’t see until October. Good news right off the bat is that the price actually went down $1 to $13.99. That’s a good move in our opinion, as this has historically been a good, not great, …
Finally…the new vintage of the Kirkland Barolo hits stores. We typically see this bottle arrive in the first few months of the year, so we’ve been on the look out. Something caught our eye right away and that is the vintage, 2019. Last February we tasted and reviewed the 2017 vintage of this wine. So …
Regular readers will know we love finding white wine varietals at Costco that are a little outside the norm, and wines from Gavi fit the bill perfectly. Too many times, we pursue the Costco white wine section, and find all the usual suspects and incarnations of Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Gavi originates from …
This bottle exemplifies why we love the wine journey. Sometimes you just get smacked in the face with an unsuspecting bottle that captures the spirit of exploration. We didn’t remember how much this cost at the time we were drinking it. It came from the cheap seats (the aisles of wine vs wooden boxes), just …
Just a few weeks ago, we had a conversation with some friends about wine and the question came up, “I love Barolo but it’s just so darn expensive. It’s a special treat, but I want it all the time.” We feel the same way, and our answer to this question was Langhe Nebbiolo. And then …
We were on the hunt for a new Costco white wine to review and this one almost slipped by us. But glad we found it and tasted it because it’s a winner. We also like finding new varietals, or blends like this, outside of the standard white wines you often find at Costco. Would love to see …
