Here’s a fun Costco wine find that we were super curious about. You don’t see a ton of Italian Pinot Noir out there; plus this wine originated from Italy’s famed Piedmont region, where you also find a number of high caliber reds. The price was great at $7.49 and the Costco placard proudly displayed the …

There are quite a few solid choices for Pinot Noir at Costco right now, and this new Kirkland Carneros bottle is among the better buys in our opinion. It’s hard to find Pinot from Carneros this affordably priced, and also this good. That’s what we hope (and have come to expect) Kirkland wines to deliver …
It’s been a long time, more than six years, since we last reviewed the Cambria Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir. But that was certainly not the last time we’ve tasted this wine as it is on my go-to list for value Pinot. It’s just not always available at Costco so scoop it up when you find …
It’s nice to see this Kirkland Pinot return to store shelves in the latest 2018 vintage. This bottle is a reader and personal favorite among the Kirkland wine portfolio. There are a few important things to note that are carried over from the prior 2017 vintage. First is the price which has stayed the same …
Louis Latour is a powerhouse in Burgundy wine, and this is an interesting offering from them because it is actually grown outside the confines of Burgundy. It’s a little tricky to navigate on the label, and the last time we reviewed this wine, a reader popped in with some good info. This wine is actually …
Joseph Phelps is one of my top ten wine producers from California, and it is a nice surprise to see their Freestone Pinor Noir from the Sonoma Coast hit Costco shelves. You’ve probably seen their high-end red blend, the Joseph Phelps Insignia, hanging around stores too for $200, which is a very good price on …
It’s been a little while since we last reviewed the Kirkland Russian River Pinot Noir. I apologize for that; I really can’t believe it’s been about a year and a half and perhaps we missed a vintage or two. This wine has always been pretty middle of the road for me; maybe that’s why I …
There was really no reason to choose this Pinot Noir. I’ve never heard of this winery, and primarily bought it so I could report back to you about how it turned out. Just a fun experiment, but man, once I tasted it I’m really glad I picked this one. It’s not inexpensive at $24, but …
I’m going to continue grabbing different Pinot Noirs as I started doing over the past few months. This La Crema Pinot is a Costco staple and at least around the Atlanta area is pretty widely available. I hope that you are able to find it as it turned out to be a delicious wine. La …
It’s always nice to see the Kirkland Carneros Pinot arrive in Costco stores, and most importantly, to see the price tag continue to stay at $9.99, which is almost impossible to match for other wines from this premier region. We’ve always really enjoyed this Kirkland offering, rating the 2016 vintage 89 points, and the 2017 …
Next up is another Pinot Noir, and this is one that I had high hopes for. I’ve seen this bottle at Costco before, but it wasn’t until I turned it over and read the back label that I realized this wine is produced by the Drouhin family, known for superior Oregon and French Pinot. Costco’s …
I’m continuing to taste through some of these Costco Pinot Noirs that I’m finding to hit the spot on warm Atlanta summer evenings. I’m still enjoying plenty of Rose and sparkling wines too this summer, but I’m on a bit of a mission to find a good dependable and affordably priced Costco Pinot. Our recent …
The Baileyana Firepeak Pinot has historically been a favorite among our readers, who first turned us on to the wine about three years ago. I’ve seen a couple more vintages appear in Costco stores around the Atlanta area, and finally got around to purchasing this new 2018 vintage so we could taste and review it …
It is really hard to find decent Pinot Noir around $10. We’ve found a few at Costco over the years. The Firesteed Pinot is one that always comes to mind and one that pops up occasionally at Costco for only $10. I’ve seen this Westmount bottle back in stock too, and we thought it was …
This is the season when I frequently find myself at the crossroads of figuring out if I want to drink a red or a white wine. If the sun’s out, it’s white. Once it dips, it’s red. Or rosé if you’re in between. And then add some food to the mix and it gets even …
