Absolute deliciousness from this red blend from Portugal. Regular readers know we love the quality and value you can find in Portuguese wines today, and we are always hoping to see more of them at Costco. We were introduced to this bottle from an importer / distributor we’ve met through this site. We typically don’t …

What an interesting find this turned out to be. We were going to buy it anyway just because the two varietal blend included Caladoc, which is something you don’t see that often. Caladoc is a crossing of Grenache and Malbec primarily found in Southern France. But the real kicker was when we turned the bottle …
Here’s one of our favorite Kirkland wines, making a slightly early appearance this year with the brand new 2019 vintage. We know this is a reader favorite, and it’s a consistent value buy every year. The price is staying the same year to year at $7.89; we love to see that. And look at our …
Here’s a great value play you can score at Costco when you’re looking for a dependable red that won’t break the bank. Usually in those cases, we fall to Spain or South America, but Portugal should never be overlooked. There are amazing wines coming out of there at prices that would be impossible to match …
We’re getting a fresh batch of Kirkland wines hitting stores, and we’ve heard from readers there are several more out there, so hopefully we can get reviews up here for everyone. The Kirkland Napa Red Blend has really come a long way over the years. Since it’s earliest intro as the 2014 Kirkland Meritage, the …
Very interesting find here, and we had to do some poking around online to figure out the full story. One of our all time favorite wines and favorite properties in Bordeaux is Ducru-Beaucaillou. We had the opportunity to visit and meet with their team a few years back, and every single thing about the winery, …
A few weeks back we reviewed the Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel, and we mentioned how much we’d love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. And then bam, look what shows up at our Costco shortly after. Ask and you shall receive. We should have asked for a lower price while we …
This is always a fun Kirkland bottle to explore, and we don’t see a lot of Zinfandel at Costco, at least in stores near us. We really would love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. It’s been gone for a long time, and was a favorite of the blog. The price on this Kirkland …
Alright, we are hitting a bunch of Spanish wine winners from Costco all right in a row. We had the Portia Ribera del Duero, the Vina Pomal Rioja Reserva (a CostcoWineBlog Top Pick), and the Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva (also a Top Pick of our site). And we’ve sung the praises for …
This is one of our top go-to bottles at Costco, and while the window when it hits stores seems to vary year to year, the quality of this wine is remarkably consistent. Costco has maintained the price too at $12.99, which is what’s it’s been since 2015 when we found it for $11.99. So inflation …
We love finding and tasting new Chateauneuf-du-pape from Costco, and here’s a new addition to the wine aisles that turned out to be a huge score. Outside of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape that is priced at $20, it’s hard to find good Chateauneuf at a reasonable price. Usually you have to spend $40-$50+ to get the highly …
This bottle was first recommended by a reader who seems to always turn up good wine values, especially those from Europe. And we also heard about the limited time Costco discount that brings the price of the bottle down to $6.99. This limited time $5 off the standard $11.99 price tag ends August 8th, so …
A little surprised to see this one hitting stores so early. The prior 2020 vintage arrived in December of 2022. We gave it a respectable 88 points, and typically enjoy these Kirkland wines that come in from Washington state. There have been a hodge podge of different Kirkland red blends from Washington state over the …
This is just the bottle we hope to find when cruising through the Costco aisles. Portugal is a mecca for huge value buys and this one fits the bill. So we scooped it up right away; probably should have bought more. Only $12.99, but drinks like it cost twice that. 91 points from Wine Enthusiast, …
Condado de Haza is a name in Spanish winemaking that you need to commit to memory. It’s been a while since we’ve seen one of their wines appear at Costco. The last time was all the way back in 2016 with the 2012 vintage. Since then, their wines have been a go to choice for us when …
