On every trip to Costco, we throw a quick scan across the Pinot Noir section looking for something we’ve never tasted before. And if it’s highly rated and not too expensive, it’s all the more bonus. That’s exactly what we found here. Starting with that price, Costco brings this one in under $20 at $17.79. Wine.com and K&L …
We were on the hunt for Costco bottles we haven’t reviewed yet, and found this Napa Cab from Charles Krug that we’re pretty sure we’ve tasted before, just haven’t posted about it. Over the years of running this site, we’ve reviewed three past vintages of the Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc (2021, 2018, 2012) but not …
This was a great Costco wine find that was recommended by several readers. Bodega Tapiz is a super dependable producer from Argentina. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a wine from them (longer than I thought). The last review was back in 2019 with the Tapiz Black Tears Malbec, a big time winner and one that …
This is typically not the type of wine we seek out, the big bold, hodge podge red blends from California. But we have seen this bottle on all of our latest trips to Costco, and several readers have written in about it, so for the sake of this site, we picked one up. Costco’s price is …
We were on the hunt for a new Costco white wine to review and this one almost slipped by us. But glad we found it and tasted it because it’s a winner. We also like finding new varietals, or blends like this, outside of the standard white wines you often find at Costco. Would love to see …
We are always interested in trying and reviewing new Costco Pinots that show up in stores, particularly those under $20, which is often a challenging world to navigate. Looking towards Oregon though is a safe bet nowadays. We think they continue to produce some of the best Pinot Noir in the US at some of …
Last week, we reviewed the latest vintage of the Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva. We’ve reviewed vintages of that bottle going back to 2013, and we’ve always found them to be pretty middle of the road. With our review of the 2020 vintage, we brought our rating down to 85 points, and several readers agreed and …
This is a new Bordeaux style blend from California’s Central Coast that is hitting Costco stores. Costco’s $8.59 price tag is very competitive since the wine can be found at Total Wine for $13 and at a similar price at other outlets we found. A quick Google search indicates some high ratings too including a …
We always look forward to tasting the latest vintage of the Kirkland Chianti Classico, but remain a little reserved as it’s historically not been one of our preferred wines in the Kirkland portfolio. Last year the price jumped up $1 to $8.99, and at least it didn’t go any higher with this vintage. Still can’t …
We heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab was hitting stores, and we finally found it after multiple trips to Costco over the past couple of weeks. This is one of our favorite wines in the Kirkland portfolio, and it remains really hard to beat for under $20. And that’s …
Here’s a new Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that showed up in Costco stores near us. It’s not an inexpensive bottle, coming in at $36.99 at Costco, which is about what you will find it for at other outlets, including Total Wine who carries it for $38.99. Retail appears to be in the low $40’s. This …
Finding this bottle was a pleasant sight for us in the Costco wine aisles. We have previously reviewed the 2014 vintage of this wine and really enjoyed it. You can see by the Costco placard this bottle has received a string of 90+ point ratings, including 90 points from us on the 2014 vintage. 2016 was a …
Here’s a new Champagne we found hitting the Costco aisles and decided to give a try. And we’re glad we did as it turned out to be a delicious and elegant wine. Costco’s price is pretty solid for $39.99; elsewhere online it seemed to consistently be around $50. We noticed some nice scores from the …
This almost seemed to good to be true, but a reader informed us this Gran Reserva Rioja from 2010 was hitting Costco stores. And the price was only $14.99. We got lucky and found it on our next visit. Back in 2018 we reviewed the 2012 standard Hidalgo Tradicion H Rioja, and really enjoyed it. …
We love finding new wines at Costco, especially varietals like this that we don’t see all the time. Wine being a lifelong journey of discovery, it’s important to try new things, be adventurous, and be open to new styles and grapes. Primitivo is actually from the same grape variety as Zinfandel (which originates from Croatia). …
One of our wine goals for 2023 is to further explore the wines of Burgundy, both red and white. So when we see a new bottle at the Costco stores near us, we’re going to buy it and review. Feel free to take this journey alongside us. This base level Bourgogne from a big name …
