We’re seeing some new Italian reds hitting Costco stores, and it’s not the usual regions and varietals, which is exciting for us wine nerds.
Just in the past couple months, we found an Aglianico, Barbera D’Alba and Rosso di Toscana that were all very tasty and available at a great Costco price.
Now we have this Barbera D’Asti for only $11.99. Big scores (maybe a little too big) from Wine Enthusiast. We love Barbera, and even at the big box stores like Total Wine you don’t see as many bottles as you would expect.
This wine is a dark, deep ruby on the pour with earthy dark fruit aromas; flavors of red fruit, raspberry, cherry; the wine is medium in body with gentle acidity, super dry in the finish.
Solid wine and a bargain at this price point.

A one sentence commentary? This did not add any value for me!

@Editor and all fans of Kirkland Signature wines. I am excited to report that the 2022 Chateauneuf de Pape, 2021 Suscol Vineyard Cabernet and the 2021 Alexander Valley Cab are now available. I had a successful trip to our Henrico, VA Costco this morning. These have been always popular with your subscribers and you. Hope everyone scores some of this juice.

Nice score and thanks for the heads up. Hope to find them soon. Maybe this weekend. Cheers.

I wish you guys had an app to use in the store. Any chance of that coming in the future? Thanks for your reviews.

We had one years ago and it didn’t get used very much. On iPhone you can save the site to your home screen and it will function similar to an app. Not sure if that works on Android too. Hope that helps.
