Here’s a new Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough that popped up in our Costco store that looked interesting. We noted in our recent review of the delicious Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker (a wine that surpassed expectations) that we hadn’t reviewed many of the New Zealand offerings arriving in Costco. On the heels of the …

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 …
Long time readers know that we love finding and tasting these “forgotten wines” that end up in the cheap seats (the rows of stacked wine boxes vs the wooden boxes). We call them the forgotten wines because you can often find wines from lesser known, or talked about regions, stuffed in between the usual suspects. …
We were thrilled to see the 2021 vintage of this bottle hit stores. As far as we can tell, there was not a 2020 vintage, likely due to the Napa fires. So our fingers were crossed that a 2021 vintage would arrive, and here it is. Among the Kirkland wines from Napa, this ranks among …
Here’s a new Saint Emilion Grand Cru that showed up at our Costco, and it’s one that we’ve tasted and always enjoyed in the past. Usually a solid wine at a great value, and that’s exactly what we found in the 2020 vintage. Costco’s price was $35.99, which is totally fair for a wine of …
This is the second Barbera we’ve found at Costco in just a handful of weeks. What a treat to keep finding these (last one was delicious). If this bottle looks familiar, it’s because this is the same producer of the wonderful Gavi we found at Costco earlier this year. This short, stout bottle must be …
This snazzy label caught our eye, and we were surprised when the wine turned out to be a Vermentino. Especially considering the $12.99 price tag at Costco. What a find. Online this wine is selling for $20-22, and it doesn’t always come with the special bottle design. We didn’t find a lot of ratings for …
We always love seeing those limited time discount signs when we’re approaching the Costco wine aisle. From a distance we could tell this one was in the Pinot section, and we planned on buying it no matter what. Turned out it happened to be a bottle we had yet to review (or so we thought) …
Hello Costco Wine fans. It’s one of our favorite times of the year when we look back at the highest rated wines we tasted and reviewed from Costco for 2023. In case you’ve missed this list in the past, here are some links to our stories from 2022, 2021, and 2020. We need to put our …
The new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages started hitting stores a couple weeks ago, right on schedule for an October release. We went to a few stores to track it down, but didn’t find it until the other day. First thing we wanted to see is that nice $6.99 price tag continue with this next …
It was a surprise to see this Bordeaux land in Costco stores. As many of you know we are serious Bordeaux lovers, and Chateau Gloria is consistently a winner in our books. The price at Costco is just what we wanted too: $34.99. It’s at least $45-50 almost everywhere else, even $54.97 at Total Wine. …
We were curious how this one would show. It’s a new offering in the Pinot Noir aisle, which desperately needs some new additions, at least around us. The price was certainly right at only $11.99. It’s hard to find good Pinot in that price range, and this one held up pretty well. The label carries …
Alright, we are hitting a bunch of Spanish wine winners from Costco all right in a row. We had the Portia Ribera del Duero, the Vina Pomal Rioja Reserva (a CostcoWineBlog Top Pick), and the Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva (also a Top Pick of our site). And we’ve sung the praises for …
We found this wine on a trip to Costco three days ago, and unfortunately the limited time discount expired on that day (Oct 1). But what an exciting find. A Ribera del Duero for under $10. Could we be on a streak with these affordable wines from such a great area? We just reviewed this …
We love wines from Piedmont, but you don’t always see them at Costco, and not always at such a compelling price as this Barbera from a big name producer. So we were pleasantly surprised to see this bottle in stores for $13.59. Note the $.59 at the end. In case you missed our recent story …
