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 …

Costco’s price is $17.99.  Google it and it’s around $30 just about everywhere else (retail is $32). Combined with solid 90 point ratings from all the critics, this is …

I was super surprised to see this Stonestreet Chardonnay wine arrive in the bins at my Costco and at the highly discounted price of $25.99.  Since retail on this wine is closer to $40-$45 that’s a steep Costco discount on a wine that I’ve had previously on two separate occasions, and absolutely loved it. This …
