You’d have to be a long time reader of this blog to remember the last time we found the Chento Malbec at Costco. It was all the way back in July of 2016 when we found the 2012 vintage for $13.89. The opening line in that review stated, “Massive bargain here. Great wine at a …

Here’s another limited time discount Costco wine find, that essentially knocks the price in half compared to its full retail of around $20. Normally $16.99 at Costco, the limited time $6 off (until 2/13) brings it down to only $10.99. And this wine is pretty amazing. I’d jump on this while you can. Here’s a …
We just drove through Jacksonville, FL and found a nice Costco along the route (St Johns store), so we picked up a few bottles to review in the weeks to come. Great selection by the way, and we found a few interesting items that we’re interested in exploring. Note: usually we only buy a couple …
What a find this turned out the be. Rarely to do see a Gran Reserva Rioja for $15 so I was a little skeptical and remember being burned by an inexpensive one several years ago. But this is the reason you shop at Costco. To uncover gems like this. All the aging, or at least …
This one seems to make frequent Costco appearances, and I would have bet anything that we had reviewed it in the past, but a quick search didn’t turn anything up. So I’m glad I grabbed it this time. We’re big Mount Veeder fans, particularly after a tour of Mayacamas we were lucky enough to join …
There’s some history behind this wine, and the copy on the back label gives a nice overview if you are able to read that from the second image below. But in short, Buena Vista was established in 1857 and is considered by many to be the first premium winery in California. I’ve been meaning to …
Here’s a Kirkland wine favorite we are always excited to see hit stores, the Rutherford Cabernet. This marks the third vintage we’ve tasted. Previously, this was actually a Rutherford Meritage blend, but with the 2016 vintage it became a straight Cab. We also seemed to have missed the 2017 vintage if one was produced; not …
Clearly the first thing that stands out here is the massive limited time discount that might be about as hefty as we’ve ever seen in the wine aisle at Costco. And what makes it even better is that it’s applied to a delicious wine. Costco’s standard price on this bottle is $21.99, which is below …
Here’s a wine that I didn’t know much about when I bought it, or when I tasted it, but a little Internet sleuthing later turned up some pretty cool information that I’ll get to a minute. There are usually quite a few Rioja choices at Costco, including their own Kirkland bottling that is a good …
It’s already that time of the year again. It seems like just yesterday when we posted our 2020 Thanksgiving picks. So here we are for another go around, and I tried to freshen these up this year, sprinkling in some oldies but goodies. I know not everyone will be able to find these wines, so …
Spain is such a good place to look for value in the wine world nowadays so this bottle from Toro piqued our interest when we came across it at Costco for $19.99. We figured it would drink like it cost a bit more, and that’s exactly what we found. The retail price on this bottle …
All right Costco wine fans, here we go with our annual look back at the wines we tasted throughout the year that we rated the highest. This generally means they hit 91 points or above. It’s always fun to revisit this list from year’s past, so here’s last year’s list, and here’s 2019. Reviewing those …
This bottle is always a welcome site in the Costco wine aisles. If you’ve never read our reviews, you might be skeptical (as were at first), asking yourself how can a real Barolo be priced at only $14.99? Even the Kirkland Barolo, which we really like too, is $20. But I’m happy to say, and …
If I had to name my number one wine region for high quality red wines at super reasonable prices right now, it would hands down be Portugal. There are a lot of other regions, many not too far from here, that still deliver great wines for the money, but Portugal remains perhaps the one that …
Here’s an interesting wine from the Sierra Foothills, an AVA known for its Zinfandel that is located on the Western edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains. There are eight counties within the region, one of which is Amador which might sound familiar as it’s among the more well known and we’ve seen a few wines …
