We knew we had tried this bottle before because the label looked awfully familiar. But in searching past reviews we couldn’t find it which was odd. So we went deep into the historical pages and found it, in the 2015 vintage. The label looked the same but the producer changed from Olivier Larochette to Charles Debourges. The …
It’s been a little while since we tasted and reviewed the Napa Sauvignon Blanc from Charles Krug. The price has stayed the same at only $12.99, which combined with the quality of this juice, makes this a good value buy as we noted in our previous review. Retail price looks to be closer to $20 …
We can’t believe we ran into this wine at Costco. My Favorite Neighbor is among the darlings of the wine world right now it seems. Stories praising this wine seem to be on regular rotation on our Apple News feed. We first tried it in the 2018 vintage at a steakhouse (Flame in Springfield, MO …
Here’s a popular Kirkland wine that’s back in the latest vintage. First thing we noticed is a price jump to $8.99 from a previous $7.99 that we saw for the 2018 vintage. Before that it was hovering around $8.49, so this is the first time it’s broken new ground, but still just by a smidge. …
This one caught our eye because we’ve enjoyed the Westmount Pinot Noir in the past. Generally under $20, it’s a good buy in the Pinot Noir aisle. So we were curious about this Pinot Gris. Costco’s price of $12.79 is pretty good. Retail is $20 and we found it listed online for $13.99 at Total …
This is a staple Costco Chablis that is usually a pretty safe bet for fans of this region, which we definitely are. The price was $19 a few years ago and has creeped up a little to $22.99 but seems to have stabilized there which is a good sign. I found a few other outlets …
Duckhorn’s Decoy wines are usually a solid find, representing an entry into the winery at a price point well below their other bottles. Now, there’s a little sacrifice in quality as the top shelf Duckhorn wines have always impressed us. But when you’re looking for a good value buy from a known producer, the Decoy …
This is consistently a solid Kirkland wine buy that sometimes seems to get lost in the shuffle, but I know a lot of readers are on to it now. The price once again stayed the same at $9.99 which is more than fair for what you get. This wine has a history of hitting high …
It’s always exciting to see a new bottle from Gerard Bertrand hit Costco shelves and we immediately drop them in the cart, both to review for all of you and also because we consistently enjoy them. This is the first of this specific one that we’ve spotted. About a year ago we found the Tautavel …
Look what’s back in stores and right on time. We usually see the Kirkland Cotes De Provence Rose hit stores in the July 4th timeframe. And be aware, these bottles move fast. Like really fast. We wouldn’t be surprised to see them cleared out in the next few weeks. So if you’ve enjoyed it in …
Nothing pairs with summer like a crisp and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, and that’s exactly what we have here. This is our first time tasting this wine so we didn’t know what to expect but it definitely met and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Only doing the research now after having already tasted and making our notes, …
When looking for value buys in the Costco wine aisle, some of our favorite finds are the small displays of random Bordeaux bottles that wedge in between other wines in the “cheap seats” (meaning the aisles of stacked wine, not wooden boxes). If you browse through our French review pages, you can find quite a …
Here’s another favorite from the Kirkland wine portfolio that is also one of the best values in the store, especially for fans of Washington State reds. Long time readers will know we are huge fans of Washington State wines. Bang for the buck, they are hard to beat. We were thrilled to bump into this …
This is a classic Napa bottle that we were surprised, but delighted, to find at Costco. We’ve visited this winery a couple of times and have tasted many vintages of their Petite Sirah, always enjoying them, along with most of the other wines Stags’ Leap Winery offers. Note: Stags’ Leap Winery and Stag’s Leap Wine …
Finally, we found this. Just like many of you have trouble finding the wines we review here, we also sometimes have trouble finding the ones our readers recommend. Each trip to the store, we cross our fingers hoping to find them. The new Kirkland Chateauneuf has been out for a while, and readers have reported …
For those who follow our accounts on social media, you’ve no doubt seen a few people post about this bottle making a reappearance in stores right now. This is the Kirkland Signature Suscol Napa Cabernet, single vineyard. This wine debuted last year with the dynamite 2018 vintage, and pretty much everyone I heard from, including …
