Right on schedule (summer time) here’s the new Kirkland Columbia Valley Cabernet. We are finding this bottle right on the heels of the latest Kirkland Columbia Valley Red Blend that we thoroughly enjoyed. So you might be wondering which one to pick, and we’ll make our recommendation here in a minute. We did notice a …

This bottle was first recommended by a reader who seems to always turn up good wine values, especially those from Europe. And we also heard about the limited time Costco discount that brings the price of the bottle down to $6.99. This limited time $5 off the standard $11.99 price tag ends August 8th, so …

We have to say, the summer of 2023 is seeing the widest selection of new and interesting white wines at Costco that we’ve experienced while running this site.  At least in the stores around the Atlanta area, and we hope you are finding some of these too. Here is another one, a little outside the …

A little surprised to see this one hitting stores so early. The prior 2020 vintage arrived in December of 2022.  We gave it a respectable 88 points, and typically enjoy these Kirkland wines that come in from Washington state. There have been a hodge podge of different Kirkland red blends from Washington state over the …

This is just the bottle we hope to find when cruising through the Costco aisles. Portugal is a mecca for huge value buys and this one fits the bill. So we scooped it up right away; probably should have bought more. Only $12.99, but drinks like it cost twice that. 91 points from Wine Enthusiast, …

Finding this bottle at Costco helps close the story of the mystery Chablis we encountered a few weeks ago. In a rare mistake somewhere along the supply chain (and isolated to just our store we believe), bottles of the Simonnet Febvre Chablis were put in bins at Costco where this Sauvignon Blanc should have been. …

Here’s something a little different that popped up, and we’re glad we were able to taste it, because it’s a wine that you hear about occasionally, but perhaps not enough. This is an icewine from Canada, that is aroma and flavor packed, big in the mouth, sweet in the finish, perfect for a night cap …

This Rhone Valley white was a pleasant surprise for us on our last trip to Costco.  We are seeing more and more unique white wines finally hitting stores, and it’s really exciting to be able to taste through them. Here we have a Cotes du Rhone Villages white selling for $13.  Regular readers know we …

Here’s another new white wine to hit Costco that we were pumped to find. We just reviewed this excellent Gavi, and like we mentioned in that review, it’s refreshing to see new bottles like this arriving in stores. Sometimes the white section can get a little stale with the same wines, at least around the …

This bottle was an easy drop in the cart once we saw that huge limited time Costco discount.  And the wine turned out to be pretty good too. First off we love Pinot from Sonoma Coast (Flowers is a favorite one that comes to mind).  And then the massive discounted price bringing this bottle down to $11.99. …

Finally…the new vintage of the Kirkland Barolo hits stores. We typically see this bottle arrive in the first few months of the year, so we’ve been on the look out. Something caught our eye right away and that is the vintage, 2019. Last February we tasted and reviewed the 2017 vintage of this wine. So …

A few weeks ago we published a huge update to our popular post “The Definitive Guide to Costco’s Kirkland Wines” and in the process of combing through all the Kirkland reviews of past and present, it brought to light an old classic bottle that we knew we had in the cellar still. We’re talking about …

Regular readers will know we love finding white wine varietals at Costco that are a little outside the norm, and wines from Gavi fit the bill perfectly. Too many times, we pursue the Costco white wine section, and find all the usual suspects and incarnations of Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Gavi originates from …

Condado de Haza is a name in Spanish winemaking that you need to commit to memory.  It’s been a while since we’ve seen one of their wines appear at Costco.  The last time was all the way back in 2016 with the 2012 vintage.  Since then, their wines have been a go to choice for us when …

Here comes the newest vintage of the Kirkland Russian River Chardonnay. This is always an interesting bottle, finding fans some years, while coming up a little short in other years. The ridiculously attractive $12.99 price tag stays for another vintage, which is great news. There is just not a lot, if any, Russian River Chardonnay …
