I’m a huge fan of Grenache and Grenache Blanc. In France’s Rhone Valley and Spain, the grapes thrive and produce wines that I’ve always enjoyed, as regular readers of this site will note. What we’ve seen in the last 5-7 years is more winemakers on the West Coast begin to put serious effort behind their …
Other White
With New Year’s around the corner I thought I’d try one of the simple, inexpensive bubbly bottles that I’ve seen consistently at a few of the Costco stores near me. The other bubbly that Costco carries that might be a New Year’s winner is the Kirkland Signature Champagne, which is an actual Champagne and quite …
Just a few months ago I tried the 2013 vintage of this wine, and I was so impressed that I bought a few more. As it goes at Costco if you don’t look carefully, different vintages of the same wines can share the same bin. This is a key reason why you should always dig …
First off, thanks so much for visiting and supporting this site. It’s been seven years since we started this site, and it began completely on a whim as I posted random stories online about buying wine at Costco. At that point I never thought it would have the readership and following that it does now. So …
This Prosecco is exactly what you think it will be, and I guess hope it to be too. $13, light, a slight mineral character, citrus, white peach, dry finish. The wine had medium to low acidity. We enjoyed it on a crisp Atlanta evening with some friends who are visiting from out of town. They are still …
A California bubbly can be a nice change of pace now and then. I’m a fan of Gloria Ferrar over in Sonoma, and have had good experiences with Domaine Chandon, which is located in Yountville with the grapes for this wine coming from Carneros. It had been a while since I had a Domaine Chandon …
I thought this was an amazing buy for only $11 at Costco. I’m a fan of King Estate wines, so was anxious to dig into this bottle which is priced below their other wines that you can frequently find at Costco too. For an entry level white, regardless of your favorite varietal, this is one …
This is a fun find at Costco for $7.99. It’s a nice summer bubbly, more on the dry end, perfect for before or after a meal. And it’s a much more affordable option compared to pricey Champagne, which I still love, just can’t afford all the time. It’s nice to substitute a bottle like this or …
Albarinos are perfect for breaking up the summertime routine of defaulting to your standard Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays when seeking hot weather wine refreshment and summer fare accompaniment. We made a spinach and kale salad (most fresh from the garden), threw in some beets, goat cheese, carrots, almonds and a homemade vinaigrette, and this bottle, and it was …
I’ve opened my fair share of wine bottles over the years, some new, some really old, some opened in haste, others opened with extreme care. Finding a good corkscrew is not easy, and there’s a ton of debate over which ones are best. I’m not going to tell you this one is the best, but …
Proseccos have become my go-to bubbly for most everyday occasions. And with most Proseccos priced under $25, you really can’t go wrong. They are crowd pleasing wines, refreshing, light and crisp. I love them with raw oysters, most starters, shellfish and seafood, and on most days when the temperature is above 80 degrees. This Prosecco from Candoni …
This is a lovely, light and refreshing summer white wine from Candoni. Costco is selling this for $9.99 which is the lowest price I’ve seen it for (I’ve seen it as high as $16 some places). If you already love Moscato, then dropping this one in your Costco cart is a no brainer. You’ve probably …
Reviewed by Josh L This is the first “joint venture” wine label that I can recall seeing under the Kirkland Signature brand. While many of these wines are produced by third parties (especially the European ones), the actual label is normally 100% Costco Kirkland Signature. With that out of the way, the $7.99 price point …
There are quite a few really enjoyable Kirkland wines available right now in Costco stores at very good prices. Keep in mind every store and area is different. You might not be able to find all of these, but what follows are some of our favorites from the past few months, ranked by our ratings from high …
This wine is a Costco staple summer white, and I usually enjoy them, especially when I’ve had my fill of Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs. I begin to hunt for different varietals. Albarino is a good choice for this, Gavi from Italy and Rhone whites from France. This wine from King Estate doesn’t fall into the …
