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 3/8/21] 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 …
I think we will all agree that 2020 is a year like no other. Thankfully, wine has been a bright part of it for me as I imagine it was for many of you. This is the time of the year when we look back at the Costco wines we reviewed throughout the year, and …
We’ve posted detailed reviews of each of the two Wine Advent Calendars available at select Costco stores (Calendar #1, Calendar #2), and it’s created a flurry of emails and comments from readers. So I thought I’d take a second and address some of the most popular questions and share all the information we have. Will …
I’ve always been curious about this European wine box that first showed up last year near me, but seemed to sell out fairly fast (and before I had a chance to grab one). It’s back this year, at $29.99 which is the same price I believe as the prior year with a similar sampling of …
We’re fresh off the heels of reviewing the first Costco wine advent calendar for the 2020 season, known as the Advent-ure calendar, and then bam, there’s another one and it looks super promising as well. What a great early holiday gift for Costco wine fans. The Costco wine advent calendars sold out super fast last …
The Wine Advent Calendar is back for 2020. Actually, it’s back in two versions. That’s right, there are two of them this year, and I have the other one I’m working on writing up right now too. This is one of the most popular Costco items we review every year, so we couldn’t wait to …
