One of our favorite wines that we tasted last year is back at Costco with the latest vintage, and we were pumped to find it. We reviewed the 2019 vintage back in July and gave it a whopping (and well deserved) 95 points. That rating also puts it towards the top of our annual Best …

This popular Kirkland bottle usually hits stores around this time of the year. It was a little late last year arriving in March, at least around the Atlanta area. The price actually went down with this latest vintage, just a few cents, but glad to see it not going the other way. Finding Premier Cru Chablis …
In all the years of running this site, this might be the Costco bottle we’ve wanted to find the most. We love the Costco hunt, but when we first heard from readers this new Kirkland wine was out there, we were hitting our Costco stores left and right trying to find it. Finally, we found …
We’ve seen this bottle before in Costco stores, but it being the holidays and all, we just could resist that velvety red label. And we are thrilled we tried it. This is flat out delicious Napa Cabernet at a very competitive Costco price. Wine.com is selling this bottle for $47.99, in contrast to Costco’s $34.99 …
We love finding and trying new Riojas from Costco, and this one checked quite a few boxes. Pretty solid ratings as indicated on the placard below. 94 from Wine Advocate, and a later Google search shows low 90’s for this wine from several of the recent vintages. The price at Costco was $19.99, and some …
We picked this one up to have on hand for Thanksgiving weekend and figured there’d be a good time to open what we hoped would be a tasty Pinot Noir. A lot of these Pinots can really get good when you start to spend between $30-$45. Costco’s price was $32.99, which is pretty competitive. It’s …
We thought it might be time to revisit this popular Costco Amarone. The last time we reviewed it was back with the 2016 vintage that we enjoyed and gave 89 points. We have a similar story with the 2018 vintage that is in Costco stores right now. The price did go up $1 to $23.99, …
This Chianti Classico had a few things going for it that made a strong case for throwing a bottle in our cart. First, we love Chianti Classicos, and particularly those with 5-7 years of age on them, so this 2016 fit the bill quite nicely. It’s drinking really good right now. Next, we remembered tasting …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
We love seeing new bottles from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars hit the shelves at Costco and this AVETA Sauvignon Blanc is one that we’ve never seen before, at least around the Atlanta area Costco stores we frequent. Previously, as far as white wines go from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, we’ve reviewed and enjoyed their Karia …
Here’s one of our favorite Kirkland wines coming in right on time with the latest vintage. Fall is usually when this Brunello hits stores, and right off the bat we have some good news with the price staying at $19.99. Long time readers may remember this wine had crept up to $27 in prior years, …
It’s that time of the year again when we look back at some of our favorite Costco wine finds throughout the year. We have quite a few new additions that we enjoyed this year. If you want to check out our previous roundups, here is this same list from 2021, 2020 and 2019. It’s always …
We weren’t sure what to expect here but had a sneaking suspicion that this might be an under the radar winner. And we were spot on. Languedoc is a region in Southern France, in between the Mediterranean and Rhone Valley, and you can see the Rhone influence in the varietal blend here which is 70% …
We thought this one might overdeliver and it does. This is a great Costco wine find. We’re big Bordeaux fans, and for $20, this is a score. Online the price seems to be closer to the $28 range, so it appears Costco’s bringing it in at a competitive buy. Suckling has gone in the low …
There are quite a few interesting things about this bottle we found at Costco, which we’ve never seen before. First is the mistake on the Costco placard, labeling this wine as a Rioja, which would lead you to believe it was comprised of Tempranillo. But the wine is actually from Alicante and is comprised of …
