There’s good news and bad news with the latest vintage of this Kirkland bottle. We’ll start with the bad news, the price going up $2 to $19.99. In the last vintage we reviewed, the 2016, it was priced at $17.99. Even at $17.99, we enjoyed, but weren’t in love with, that vintage. The good news …
This wine is a huge score at Costco. There are so many good things going on right from the get go and the wine is delicious too. First off, Louis Latour is one of the biggest names in Burgundy wine, and this bottle is on the lower end of what they produce. That said, this …
We just tasted and really enjoyed the 2017 La Crema Pinot Noir, and I knew their Chardonnay was also available, so I went to back to Costco for another run to see if it was still there as I was curious to taste it. The price tag was $16.39, which is a couple bucks less …
I found another interesting Chardonnay to try on my last visit to Costco. Interesting in that it’s highly rated, highly discounted in price, and also a 2016 vintage which I’m surprised is still lingering around. It’s similar to the 2016 Sterling Chardonnay we reviewed last week. I guess the distributors need to move these wines. …
I’m always a sucker when I see a good limited time discount on Costco’s wine. You figure generally the bottles are already priced 10-20% lower than most other outlets, so when you take a bit more off the price, the deals just get that much sweeter. An almost $5 discount (price valid until 8/2 at …
I hold a special place in my wine drinking history for Ferrari-Carano wines. Early on, when I was just starting out, it seemed like I would gravitate towards their wines when I wanted something that was “a little step up.” Plus the name is cool and easy to say; the wines are generally pretty solid …
It’s starting to feel like summer around the Atlanta area, and that’s when white wine hits the spot for me. I haven’t found many interesting whites though at the Costcos around us yet. I’m hoping for some Albarino, German Riesling, Vinho Verde, Vermentino, Arneis, or even whites from anywhere in France besides the obvious spots. …
We’ve tasted quite a few good, affordably priced wines from Paso Robles lately. The Justin Cabernet is always a favorite. And we really enjoyed the latest vintage of the Daou Cabernet, which made it even more fun to find the Daou Chardonnay show up at Costco for $14.99. I’ve heard from quite a few readers …
Here comes the latest version of the Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay, just in time for summer. This wine has been hit or miss for us over the years, but one thing that remains consistent is the price, which is again only $12.99. For Chardonnay from this premier region of Sonoma, $13 a bottle is …
I love it when we get a nice string of wines that all hit our Top Picks list. It doesn’t happen that often since we really try to reserve this list for the best Costco wines we find, and rate 90+ points. But when it does, it makes this job a lot more fun. We …
The Foxglove Chardonnay is one of those wines that you frequently see listed in write ups with headlines like “Best summer white wine buys,” or “Best whites under $15.” That was how I first learned about it. I can’t remember the list that I read a couple years ago, but I remember seeking this wine …
Everybody loves Raymond; Vineyards that is, especially when Costco offers a huge special discount on their wines. The normal Costco price of $19.99 for this one is good, not great, but knocking an additional $8 off makes this an insane buy on a delicious Chardonnay. Granted this deal is good through 5/10/20, and I found …
I was thrilled to find the latest vintage of this Chablis on my last Costco trip. We reviewed the prior vintage some time ago and really enjoyed it, giving it a solid 88 points. I have similar tasting notes on the current vintage that I was happy to see come in at $14.99, which is …
Here’s a super tasty Chablis that comes in at a great Costco price of only $16.99, making it among the lowest priced Chablis that we’ve seen in the warehouse. And best of all, it doesn’t skimp on quality. This is the little sister to the Domaine Thierry Mothe Grand Cru Chablis that we reviewed a …
Whether I’m shopping at Costco, Total Wine or any of my other go to wine spots, I’m always on the look out for Chablis, and if I find Grand Cru Chablis, that’s just a bonus. Most bottles of Chablis represent an expression of Chardonnay that works for me. I love the fruit forward approach, with …
