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 …

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 …

What a steal for an excellent and perfectly balanced Russian River Chardonnay.  I loved this bottle.   It’s no surprise that Duckhorn is the brand behind it. 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 …
