Here’s an interesting bottle that arrived at Costco stores around the Atlanta area this week after selling out a first run rather quickly. I’ve heard it’s available right now at Perimeter, Kennesaw (where I purchased a few) and Cumming stores, but Mr Reinert is continuing to create more wines under this label so hopefully distribution will continue …
Pinot Noir
Here’s a wine that’s always a personal favorite and a popular one among readers, the KS Willamette Pinot, which comes in at $14.99, a bargain price for Pinots from this area and a pretty nice wine this year as well. I found this wine to be incredibly well balanced and interesting, especially considering it in …
Pinot noir fans take note of this one. Costco’s price is $22.99 and the wine is worth every penny (Wine.com sells it on sale for $29). This is a lovely Pinot that pours dark and rich in the glass, leading you to believe it’s an entirely different wine. But once you get into it, it’s …
Sometimes I find myself in a situation where the wine is just ok but it’s fairly priced at Costco and therefore it becomes hard to beat up on it too much. This is one of those wines. And I’ve held similar feelings about past vintages of this wine too. It’s a Russian River Pinot for $12.99. …
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 is a lovely Oregon Pinot at Costco for $19.99 and a perfect companion for almost any food. We enjoyed this on a crisp fall evening with butternut squash ravioli (also from Costco, if you haven’t tried it yet, you should) and it was a great accompaniment. Good pinots like this are so versatile, and …
Unlike the less expensive wines available at Costco and reviewed here (like the well-regarded/excellent Schug), this is a complex and full-bodied Pinot Noir. While Shea’s vineyard and estate fruit hearkens from the same area in Oregon as Domaine Serene (the wineries are only about 5 miles as the crow flies) and Ken Wright (who uses …
[Reviewed by Josh L] Recently I had the rare – and accidental – opportunity to do a “vertical” tasting after buying two bottles of wine at Costco. In the store, I wasn’t fully paying attention, and after arriving home, I learned that I had one each of the 2012 and 2013 vintages of the A …
This is a signature Sonoma Russian River Pinot at a pretty good price at Costco. I bought it for $15.99, but I’ve seen it going closer to $20 at most other outlets. I thought it was right in line at the $16 mark, not more, not less. It’s a light and easy drinking wine. A …
Reviewed by CostcoWineBlog.com Contributor Michael S Ever since Sideways dissed merlot and made pinot noir the “cool red” in 2004, I’ve pretty much shunned pinot. (I’ve never handled “cool” well). Everyone once in a while I’d enjoy a Paso Robles or Oregon pinot with a meal but, generally, I found the pinot noir to range …
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 …
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 …
[Reviewed by Josh L] We drink a lot of Pinot Noirs, ranging from domestic California, Oregon and Washington State, to “old world” versions from Burgundy and “new world” iterations from New Zealand. And in all of the Pinot Noirs, from all the places in the world, of all vintages, cork vs. alternative tops, blends or …
It was a pleasant surprise to come across this bottle from Costco’s Kirkland label. They’ve really expanded their reach to include a wider selection of wines from numerous prestigious wine growing areas around the globe. So I would advise to take note on your next trip to Costco. You might be surprised what you find. …
Finding good Red Burgundy at a decent price is tough, so I was curious how this $20 bottle from Costco would show. Overall, I found it to be an ok buy, hard to beat for the money, but not the hidden value Pinot I had hoped for. Pleasant nose, fresh berries with some smoke and perfume; the …
