Everyone loves a bargain, and that’s obviously a big reason we all love to shop at Costco.  We’ve had a nice little run of inexpensive Costco wines lately that we’ve reviewed, and so I wanted to combine those, with some other Costco classic under $10 to arm you with a nice list of wines for …

That headline sounds pretty complicated, but it really shouldn’t be.  Put simply, this is a $20 Argentinian red blend comprised of 60% Malbec, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Franc.  And it’s really good. The first thing you notice with this one is the heft of the bottle, that seems to weigh about twice as much …

Yecla is a sometimes overlooked region in Southeastern Spain that consistently delivers good value priced wines, predominantly made up of the Monastrell grape (which is the ame as Mourvedre).  But it’s an area that should certainly be on the radar of red wine fans looking for bang for their buck. This bottle is a perfect …

So happy to see this bottle back in stock at Costco in the new ’17 vintage.  The ’15 vintage was really amazing for only $12.99 and I gave it 89 points last year. The ’16 vintage scored huge among the critics so I’m bummed that one didn’t appear at my Costcos (Dunnuck 93; Wine Advocate …

What a steal for an excellent and perfectly balanced Russian River Chardonnay.  I loved this bottle.   It’s no surprise that Duckhorn is the brand behind it. Costco’s price is $17.99.  Google it and it’s around $30 just about everywhere else (retail is $32). Combined with solid 90 point ratings from all the critics, this is …

The Kirkland Oakville Cabernet is always a bottle we look forward to trying every year.  We’re coming right off the heels of reviewing the latest vintage of the Kirkland Rutherford Cabernet which is produced just up the road, and Erin went 89 points on that wine. Last year, I went 91 points for the Oakville …

I love the wines of Bordeaux, particularly those on the left bank and increasingly more the area south of the city of Bordeaux, Pessac Leognan. In fact, Pessac might be one of the best places to go among the top Bordeaux regions if you’re looking for the biggest bang for the buck. Chateau Smith Haut …

How ironic is this? Just a few days ago I posted a Cellar Series review of the 2012 Monsanto Chianti, a bottle I’d been cellaring for couple of years to see how it would taste later. It was delicious and confirmed my feelings that the Monsanto Chianti is just a solid buy year to year, …

This is an absolute screaming buy if you’re able to find it at your Costco. We posted about the big bottles arriving in Nov for the holidays. At that time, this bottle was priced at $100. Today it can be had for half that. The price on the standard size Mondavi Oakville at Wine.com is …
