Every year Wine Spectator lists their Top 100 wines of the year, and we love to comb through it and call out the bottles we’ve found at Costco. Here’s last year’s post. We also rely on readers to point out ones they’ve found in their local warehouse too so we can all be on the …
It’s already that time of the year again. It seems like just yesterday when we posted our 2020 Thanksgiving picks. So here we are for another go around, and I tried to freshen these up this year, sprinkling in some oldies but goodies. I know not everyone will be able to find these wines, so …
Wait, what? There’s another Costco wine advent calendar? That’s right. Add one more boozy way to ride into the holidays with this new gift box. This box is unique in that it features all red wines, all Cabernet in fact. Just 12 bottles in this box, still 375ml in size. I know a lot of …
All right Costco wine fans, here we go with our annual look back at the wines we tasted throughout the year that we rated the highest. This generally means they hit 91 points or above. It’s always fun to revisit this list from year’s past, so here’s last year’s list, and here’s 2019. Reviewing those …
I know quite a few of you have found this boxed set already and I’ve been intrigued by what I’ve heard. It finally showed up at my Costco so now I’m able to check out the wines. This one is similar to the European four bottle set we saw about a year ago. That set …
It’s here, and it’s in stores earlier than ever…the Costco Wine Advent Calendar for 2021. And if you see it, buy it quick. These go fast so grab one (or two) and stash it for a few months if you want to follow along with the calendar. Lots of big news for this one in …
I’m sure you were a little surprised to see the new layout when you visited the site today. We’ve been way overdue for an overhaul and the code was starting to get a little clunky, so welcome to the new CostcoWineBlog.com. For the past few months I’ve been paying close attention to websites that I …
We thought we’d mix it up with a little feature where we’d answer the most common questions we receive from our readers. This site started more than ten years ago and has grown far beyond what we ever thought possible. It’s created a great community of people all looking for really good wine bargains from …
Here’s a fun new Costco wine find that I’ve heard about from multiple readers who have already found it and enjoyed it – the “Hello Summer” mixed wine multi pack that contains 12 375ml bottles from around the world. Sound kind of familiar? If you were a fan of the Costco Wine Advent Calendars we …
We’re going to take a quick break from the Costco wine reviews for what we hope is a fun post that brings value to your wine experiences. There are so many great resources in the wine world right now, and we thought we’d highlight a few of our favorites, as perhaps you’ll discover a few …
[originally published 5/9/20; updated 10/27/21] One thing about shopping at Costco, which is on one hand the greatest thing ever, but simultaneously one of the most frustrating, is the idea of the “Costco find.” The term can apply to a couple different types of “finds” too. First, you have the item you’ve never seen before …
This was exciting to find on my latest trip to Costco – the debut of the Kirkland Signature K Vine wines. These wines were first mentioned in an article that appeared in the Costco Connection magazine, featuring a Q and A with winemaker Charles Smith, who is behind these new offerings. Charles Smith, as many …
The holidays are upon us, and New Years is right around the corner, so it’s that time of the year when I know many people are thinking about stocking up on a few bubbly wines to celebrate. Costco is always a great place for sparkling wines. Granted the selection won’t be as broad as a …
Today, Wine Spectator released their annual Top 100 wines of the year list. We always like to call out which ones we’ve seen at Costco. But this is a group effort. Everyone has to help because the selection is going to vary around the country. And this year I only found two from the list …
It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines to consider putting on your table for the Thanksgiving meal. This is always tough because of availability so we will try to focus on wines that we believe are widely available (we are 100% independent of Costco so can’t say for sure), as well as …
