We heard from several readers that the Costco Wine Advent Calendar box for 2023 was at Costco so made a quick trip to the store looking for it, only to find a different, but very similar, box. So of course we had to pick it up for further exploration and to report back here. And …

Let’s take a quick break in the action for a little something different, our top five tips for buying wine at Costco. We like to think we’re pretty good at this, having purchased and reviewed over 1000 bottles of wine from Costco over the last decade plus. So what are some of things we do …
Here’s something a little different that popped up, and we’re glad we were able to taste it, because it’s a wine that you hear about occasionally, but perhaps not enough. This is an icewine from Canada, that is aroma and flavor packed, big in the mouth, sweet in the finish, perfect for a night cap …
A few weeks ago we published a huge update to our popular post “The Definitive Guide to Costco’s Kirkland Wines” and in the process of combing through all the Kirkland reviews of past and present, it brought to light an old classic bottle that we knew we had in the cellar still. We’re talking about …
The other day we went into our dashboard to post a new wine review, and a number jumped out at us. We had just posted the 1000th wine review for this site. Then I filtered by date and realized we were in our 10th year of running this site too. It makes sense since we post 2X a week …
We at the wine blog obviously love Costco almost more than anywhere else. And that’s not just because of the wine. The entirety of the product offering, great prices and unique experience make it a one of a kind shopping experience. Aldi is similar in some ways but different in others. It’s a unique shopping …
Here’s another interesting box that came our way, and it’s a bit different for this site. This is a Flavored Whisky sampler containing 12 200ml bottles. We can’t buy this (or hard liquor) at most Costco stores in Georgia (only two, Dunwoody and Alpharetta), but received it to sample from the distributor. We are also …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
It’s that time of the year again when we look back at some of our favorite Costco wine finds throughout the year. We have quite a few new additions that we enjoyed this year. If you want to check out our previous roundups, here is this same list from 2021, 2020 and 2019. It’s always …
It’s hard to believe it’s that time already, but here we are just closing out summer and bam, we get the Costco wine advent calendar hitting stores, alongside Christmas trees and holiday decorations. This is about the same time of the year when last years Advent Calendar dropped, first week of September. It always seems …
Here’s the latest Costco variety pack to hit stores right in time for the summer months, the Wine Voyage Variety Pack. If you’ve been following the Costco wine variety packs, here’s a quick overview of our last three write ups we’ve done. 12 Days of Cabernet 2021 Wine Advent-ure Calendar Hello Summer Wine Sampler Of …
It would be almost impossible to peruse the Costco wine aisle and not have this set catch your eye. And it’s a really cool idea, especially for those sake fans out there. This set includes five 200ml jars of Junmai Sake. Each jar has a thin metal pull tab kind of like you would find …
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 …
