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. …
Chardonnay
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 …
I think we are in the middle of a resurgence in Australian wine. For some reason, it seems that outside of the occasional Shiraz I would encounter, I didn’t come across a lot of Aussie wines, whether I’m looking at Costco or elsewhere over the past five years. I know they’re there; I just wasn’t …
It was less than a year ago when we heard praise from readers about the previous vintage of this wine, and we were anxiously waiting for it to show up at Costco stores near us. And when it did, we tasted it and agreed that it was a spectacular buy. The current 2018 vintage is …
I always love finding Chablis at Costco, and the Louis Jadot is one of those bottles that seems to appear frequently, but this is the first time I picked one up and tasted it. And I’m glad I did. This is a solid wine for $19.99, which is a nice discount from its $25 retail …
This is a Kirkland offering I look forward to tasting every year. This year it’s wearing a brand new label like many of the other Kirkland bottles we’ve reviewed. And it’s a welcome change from the rather generic and bland Kirkland wine labels of years past. We’ve liked certain vintages of the Kirkland Russian River …
This Chardonnay is a staple at the Costco stores around the Atlanta area where I shop. It’s $13.45 and each year has proven to be a nicely balanced Chardonnay that pairs well with the warm weather that is hopefully starting to reach most of us now. Retail price on this bottle is $22 and online …
I found this bottle to be a really good buy for California Chardonnay, especially if you are like me and prefer your Chardonnay to be fruit-driven, clean and bright without overloading the oak and butter. We’re seeing more and more California producers move towards this style of Chardonnay and it’s making it easier to find …
