Wow, here's another outstanding Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc we found right on the heels of the amazing Saint Clair that we just tasted and rated 91 points. These are really next level wines from this region, and we think fans will really note a difference. This bottle is also in that $15 range, but drinks bigger […]
2019 Calma Rioja Crianza
Here's a new Rioja hitting Costco shelves that checks quite a few boxes in our book, and turned out to be absolutely delicious in the end. 94 points from Wine Advocate as indicated on the placard. We also found a 94 point score from Wine Enthusiast for this bottle. We are getting a nice price […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux
This has to be one of the bottles we've tried the hardest to hunt down after readers started reporting seeing it in warehouses. Even the warehouse search in the Costco app misdirected us twice, indicating the wine was in stock when it wasn't yet. But finally, we found it, and we grabbed quite a few. […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
It's always a successful trip when we find a brand new Kirkland wine in the Costco aisles. We were alerted a few weeks back by readers who found and enjoyed this bottle before it arrived in stores near us. Obviously the first thing to note is the ridiculously low price of $6.99, pretty amazing for […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Barolo
Right on schedule for this one; usually lands around July 4th holiday. And this is one of our favorite Kirkland wines, so we couldn't wait to dig into the latest vintage. Last year we went 93 points on the 2020 vintage. That caps a nice run of 92-93 points scores from us over the years […]
2020 Gerard Bertrand Corbieres An 806
Here's another fantastic buy at Costco from Gerard Bertrand. We recently reviewed the Cotes des Roses Rosé, which was very nice, and we have tasted quite a few wines from them at Costco over the years. This is a new GSM blend, grenache, syrah and mourvedre, we found for only $9.99. That compares to a […]
Veuve Ambal Cremant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut
There seem to be a few new bubbly options hitting Costco shelves and this is one that caught our attention. We'll try to taste and review some of the other new ones as well. We are starting with this one because we are such big fans of Cremants from France as they typically serve as […]
2024 Torre Oria Rose Pinot Noir Spain
It's getting hot here in Atlanta, and across much of the country right now. A nice bottle of rosé can really hit the spot. This is one we tasted and reviewed last year with the 2023 vintage, and we liked it, didn't love it, so wanted to go another round with the 2024 vintage we found […]
2024 Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses Rosé
We are big fans of the Cote des Roses series from Gerard Bertrand. They are a consistently solid producer whose wines (red, white and rosé) we are seeing more and more in Costco stores. Last year, we tasted and reviewed the Sauvignon Blanc from the Cote des Roses series, and found it to be highly […]
2019 Luis Gurpegui Rioja Crianza
Obviously the discount sign we always love to see at Costco directed our eye to this bottle on our most recent warehouse visit. We hoped the wine would deliver because the price was certainly right ($8 off until 7/6). And it did. This is the same producer as this Rioja we tasted and reviewed (88 […]
Cellar Selection: 2010 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino
We got the itch to dig through the cellar to see if we could find something old school that would be fun and interesting after a few years. The last time we did this we tried the 2015 Kirkland Pauillac Bordeaux which was delicious after seven years of laying down. The only problem is that […]
2023 Diatom Chardonnay Santa Barbara
This is an exciting find at Costco; a highly rated Chardonnay under $20 that we have yet to try. The ratings for this wine are beyond impressive and consistent. 94 from Dunnuck who is our favorite. 93 points from Spectator, Decanter and Suckling. And they're not wrong. The wine hits Costco for $18.99 and looks […]
Spotted: New Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Our friend Matthew (who also started our Costco wine blog subreddit)spotted this new addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio, a 2023 Cabernet from Sonoma County. The price is certainly right at $6.99 and his early tasting notes tell us this is a smooth, easy drinking Cab that got pretty good with 20-30 minutes of air. […]
2022 The Pinot Project Pinot Noir
This is a part of a little series we call, "we drink what you drink" (WDWYD). A lot of times we'll be perusing the aisles of our local Costco and we will spy on the wine in other people's carts. On this most recent trip, we found two different carts where the shopper purchased this […]
2024 Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc Dillons Point Marlborough
It's always nice to sprinkle in these New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, especially as the weather heats up for summer. This is a new one for us at Costco, and is a great find. The wine is delicious, and the price is the best we've seen at $15.99. Retail appears to be $25 and the bottle […]
2022 Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon Napa
It's been a while since we reviewed the Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon so thought we'd freshen it up a bit. The last vintage was the 2019 we reviewed about two years ago, and enjoyed it, going a solid 90 points. Costco's price is $27.89 which is about as good as anywhere we've seen this bottle. […]
A Few of Our Favorite (Non Costco) Wine Resources and Items
We’re going to take a quick break from the Costco wine reviews for what we hope is a fun post that adds value and delight to your wine experiences. There are so many great resources in the wine world right now, and we thought we’d highlight a few of our favorites, as perhaps you’ll discover […]
2023 Domaine Du Courtillet Sauvignon Blanc Touraine
It's always a good day and a fulfilling Costco wine shopping trip when you come across a Touraine Sauv Blanc for $12.99. Earlier this year, we found and reviewed another bottle from this area, scoring it a fair 88 points and finding it to be pretty enjoyable. This one is a nice step up in […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Carneros Pinot Noir
The latest vintage of the Kirkland Carneros Pinot is hitting stores, and we have some good news to report about this new vintage. First off, is a $1 price drop. A bit of a surprise since this bottle has been $9.99 for many years. And with that is a (very welcome) slight improvement in quality. […]
2021 Domaine La Boutiniere Chateauneuf-du-Pape
This is a classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape coming into Costco for $29.99, and offers a nice follow on bottle for fans of the Kirkland Chateauneuf that might be starting to sell through at many stores. The varietal makeup is exactly the same as the Kirkland bottle too, coming in at: 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and […]
2023 Domaine de L'Olivette Bandol Rose
This is the first Rosé from Bandol that we've reviewed on the site but we've enjoyed a handful of bottles over the years. Very cool to see this one arrive on Costco shelves. Bandol is located in Provence in Southeastern France and is known for Mourvedre which is used in most of the red wines […]
2024 Kirkland Signature Cotes de Provence Rose
Another May arrival for this popular Kirkland bottle, just in time for the warmer months when these Rosé really hit the spot (although yes, they are great all year long). Lots of similarities with prior vintages but a change to the varietal makeup worth noting. This 2024 vintage is comprised of 44% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, […]
2022 Muralhas de Moncao Vinho Verde
It's been a while since we reviewed a Vinho Verde from Costco but it seems like we drink them all summer long, and pair with all the summer cuisine. These Vinho Verde (which in Portuguese translates to "green" wines) hail from Northern Portugal and they are just perfectly crisp, refreshing and delicious without breaking the […]
2019 Casa Natal Malbec Gran Reserva
It's been a little while since we've tasted and reviewed a new Costco Malbec and this was a perfect choice, being both a Gran Reserva, and on sale for half off Costco's normal price. This is a wine we've seen before, granted a few years ago and in the Reserva form (not Gran Reserva). The […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva JME Seleccion
This wine was first spotted by readers in February, but it's taken until now for us to be able to find and purchase at a store near us. Glad we didn't miss it. The new branding created a lot of excitement and early reports were pretty positive on the wine, with comparisons to years past. […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Vacqueyras
We were surprised and delighted to find the next vintage of this Kirkland bottle. It was almost a year ago when it made its debut with the 2022 vintage. We weren't sure if it had mainstream staying power, but it appears it may. Vacqueyras is a region in southern France, situated right next to Gigondas, and […]
2022 Benmar Springbok Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir
We have a nice string of new Pinot Noir reviews going in the past few weeks. Largely because we're finding new ones that look tasty, but also because we love drinking them this time of the year. Here's another one from Oregon (just posted about this lovely Argyle Pinot), this time from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. […]
2021 Argyle Nuthouse Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills
The first note we made after a few tastes of this new Costco Pinot said "checks every box." And the more we went on, the more we found to enjoy here. What a delicious wine from Oregon's Willamette Valley. (we actually just reviewed the latest Kirkland Willamette Valley Pinot, which is consistently good as well.) […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
There’s lots to like once again with the latest vintage of the Kirkland Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, which is among our favorite Pinots from the Kirkland lineup. The price remains $12.99 once again with this 2022 vintage which is also great news. The winemaker, Sarah Cabot, is the same as the prior vintage. As you […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
Rumors were out that the newest vintage of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-Pape was hitting stores, and we luckily found it on our last trip. As you can see in the photo below, it looks to be selling through pretty fast (and I didn't see any more boxes below the display case). Good news right off the […]
The Definitive Guide To Costco's Kirkland Signature Wines
Costco's Kirkland branded products are synonymous with high quality at super low prices, and the wine aisle is no exception. In some cases, Kirkland wines can be the shining example of the ridiculous quality to price ratio you can find under these private branded products. We've been tasting and reviewing Kirkland wines since before we […]
Look what's back in stores, the 2018 Kirkland Brunello
This is a bit of a rare situation. We've seen vintages go and come back, but we rarely see older vintages appear out of nowhere. Longtime readers will know that we are big fans of the Kirkland Brunello, especially the latest 2019 vintage that we went 93 points on. So at first glance we didn't […]
2019 Altos de Valdoso Crianza Ribera del Duero
Huge score here, especially for Spanish wine fans who will instantly jump at a bottle like this. A Crianza Ribera del Duero with 5 years of age for only $12.99. That's hard to beat and the wine delivered just as we hoped. A whopping 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. I know the placard says 93, […]
2023 Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio
This is fast becoming one of our favorite staple Pinot Grigios at Costco, so when we saw the latest 2023 we had to grab it to see if it held up. And it did. We reviewed the 2021 vintage back in 2022 and found it to be a delightful wine that we rated a solid […]
New vintage spotted: 2018 Kirkland Ribera del Duero Gran Reserva
Thank you to a reader Matthew in Palm Beach Gardens Florida who spotted this one. The Kirkland Ribera del Duero is back! Here are pics of the 2018 vintage. And this is big news because the last time we reviewed this bottle was the 2014 vintage. We thought it had disappeared....until now. Keep an eye […]
2021 Jose Maria Da Fonseca Anticiclone Red Blend Portugal
This is a fun and inexpensive red blend from Portugal that checks a lot of boxes. We're huge fans of Portuguese wines right now and find them to represent extreme values as evidenced here. This bottle is $7.99 at Costco, and looks to go for around $11-13 elsewhere online, so a pretty nice Costco discount. […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva
Alright, here we are back with the latest Kirkland Chianti Classico, historically a bottle that has shown up in the bottom ranks of the Kirkland wines for us. We were lucky to see the Kirkland Gran Selezione hit Costco shelves recently for its second vintage, which drastically upped the quality of the Italian side of […]
New Costco Wine Blog Subreddit
So this really cool reader of the blog, Brandon, thought we should create our own subreddit for the blog, and even offered to set it up. And so it's live (r/CostcoWineBlog) with a few people already finding it and making some posts. This could be a great way to continue to grow and interact with […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Look what arrived a little early this year; what a surprise and a treat. This popular and always delicious Kirkland wine usually drops in the May timeframe. This marks the fifth vintage of this wine so it's a relative newcomer to the Kirkland wine portfolio, but one of our favorites. We are glad to see […]
2022 Joseph Drouhin 'Drouhin-Vaudon' Chablis
We love finding a new Chablis on Costco shelves, and we love it even more when Drouhin is the producer. Most recently we found their Saint Veran Chardonnay at Costco, and keep an eye out for Cloudline Pinot Noir from their Oregon property. Both delicious. This Chablis is a delicious wine too at a pretty […]
