Thanksgiving is here upon us again, and we’re going to look through some recent reviews to try to pick out some good wines you can (hopefully) find at Costco for the big meal. This is always a fun list (here’s last years), and we tend to go a little all over the place in our …

We’ve seen this bottle before in Costco stores, but it being the holidays and all, we just could resist that velvety red label. And we are thrilled we tried it. This is flat out delicious Napa Cabernet at a very competitive Costco price. Wine.com is selling this bottle for $47.99, in contrast to Costco’s $34.99 …
We picked this one up to have on hand for Thanksgiving weekend and figured there’d be a good time to open what we hoped would be a tasty Pinot Noir. A lot of these Pinots can really get good when you start to spend between $30-$45. Costco’s price was $32.99, which is pretty competitive. It’s …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
It’s already that time of the year again. It seems like just yesterday when we posted our 2020 Thanksgiving picks. So here we are for another go around, and I tried to freshen these up this year, sprinkling in some oldies but goodies. I know not everyone will be able to find these wines, so …
I heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Brunello starting appearing in stores last week, and I tried twice to find it before finally running into it today. What no one mentioned is the huge news that’s apparent right away. A new label? Yes, but that’s not it. How about a price …
It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines to consider putting on your table for the Thanksgiving meal. This is always tough because of availability so we will try to focus on wines that we believe are widely available (we are 100% independent of Costco so can’t say for sure), as well as …
As long-time readers may know, my wine journey began in the Pacific Northwest when I lived in Seattle, WA and Oregon prior to that. It was the late 90’s and early 2000’s and the wine landscape in the Northwest looked a lot different compared to today. There were plenty of small wineries and more popping …
“Decoding French Wine: A Beginner’s Guide to Enjoying the Fruits of the French Terroir” was the first book that I wrote back in 2012. And it was far from perfect, and maybe distant from good but it was an invaluable learning experience. I gave the book a small refresh a few years after publishing, but …
All right, it’s that time of the year again when we recommend some of out favorite Costco wines to enjoy with the Thanksgiving meal. This year I went to three Costco stores around the Atlanta area (Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cumberland) to make sure these wines were still in stock before adding them to the list. Because …
It’s finally here. We’ve been working on this one for a while now and I’m super pumped to finally put it out in the world and be able to share it with you. Our new book “Decoding Spanish Wine: A Beginner’s Guide to the High Value, World Class Wines of Spain” is now available in …
Willamette Valley Vineyards is one of the largest, if not the largest, producers of Pinot Noir in Oregon. I’ve been a big fan of the wines I’ve tried from them, notably the Whole Cluster Pinot that is regularly recognized as a top value buy in Oregon Pinot. It’s also a wine that I listed as …
We’ve got a classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noir here at a steeply discounted Costco price. The catch is that it ends tomorrow 11/18. I wish I would have seen this earlier. The retail price on this wine is $30, but with the $6 discount, you can score it at Costco for $18.99. Granted, I’m not …
It’s time for our annual Thanksgiving wine picks from Costco. Last year, we were visiting California and posted from a store in Irvine (amazing selection by the way). This year, we’re going to try to pick some recently reviewed wines in hopes that they are still available in your local warehouse. As with all things …
Costco seems to get this wine year after year, as do many other retailers. I bought a bottle last year, because who can resist a $7.99 price tag, and I’d be lying if I said it was something that I highly enjoyed. I do, however, recall liking this wine in the past as well as …
