Here’s a fun set of wines that you don’t see every day packaged up in a nice suitcase with detailed notes on every wine for only $49.99 at Costco right now. I’m told this set is primarily in California Costco stores but keep an eye out for it elsewhere along with other California region specific …

It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines that we think will pair nicely with the Thanksgiving holiday. This year’s list is compiled from wines available right now at the Costco in Irvine, CA. We can’t guarantee that all of these same wines will be in your local warehouse, but we hope that …
The past couple of weeks have been devastating for California residents as thousands were forced to flee their homes in the middle of the night to avoid being consumed by raging wildfires. The tragedy of this situation is only beginning to unfold as rescue workers sort through piles of rubble and ash while residents return …
You really enjoyed our recent round up of red wines to look for in your warehouse right now, so we thought we’d follow that up with a quick list of whites, most of which have been spotted at Costco stores around the Atlanta area, but we hope you’re able to find a few near you …
The Coravin wine preservation system is something that we’ve always been curious about. The system allows you to extract wine from a bottle by pushing a small needle through the cork which then reseals itself when the needle is pulled out. The gap in the bottle where the extracted wine once lived is refilled with …
It’s been a little while since we published a roundup story around some wine picks that might be available in your warehouse right now. So I took a day and went to a handful of Costco stores around the Atlanta area to compile this list of wines, many of which we’ve reviewed, and others that …
As I do every year, I want to present a list of the wines we bought at Costco and rated the highest throughout 2016. It’s always a little tricky because many of these wines will be long gone from your local warehouse, but you never know what you’ll find if you’re on the lookout. Sometimes …
“If you take a box then you have to fill it up, that’s the rule,” he will often quip at an unsuspecting member rifling through the stack of empty wine boxes he’s set aside for them. Although Tony Pellegrini spends the majority of his mornings moving pallets of wine around the Costco warehouse (while most of …
Every year, Wine Spectator magazine releases their top 100 wines of the year, and when they do these wines generally fly off shelves. So the big question: which of these wines does Costco carry? Here’s a list we started, and we will add to it as we see more. Feel free to add any others …
I’ve been wanting to publish this story for quite a while now, but I finally got around to spending some time inside Total Wine to track down their prices on the same bottles being offered by Costco (which in my case is directly across the street). Each place has their pros and cons but I …
Thanksgiving is always an interesting holiday to me when it comes to wine picks. A typical Thanksgiving meal has many different flavors going on and it’s really hard to zero in on one style of wine that can handle them all. As I think about this more now, having done a few yearly Thanksgiving picks, …
A recent contribution to Huffington Post: “When most people hear the words “wine tasting” they immediately cringe and picture a stuffy room with snooty people sniffing glasses and spewing out all kinds of ridiculous adjectives to describe the wine, but to you it just tastes like “wine.” And that’s fine. Maybe you didn’t pick up …
I wanted to make a list of a few good films and documentaries about wine that I’ve been surprised more people haven’t seen. So here’s a quick list along with my comments. Enjoy, and please include other wine films in the comments that you feel are worth sharing. A Year in Champagne (2015) This inside look at …
Regardless of how you’re spending this Memorial Day weekend, whether you’re boating, camping, picnicking, hiking, grilling or just sitting around in the backyard, if you’re a reader of this site then a glass of wine is also likely somewhere in those plans.

[CostcoWineBlog contributor Michael recently returned from a trip down under where he toured and experienced many of Australia’s awesome wineries. Here’s a report on some of the standout wines he found on his journey] Alas, some of the best Australian wine values are exceedingly difficult for U.S. consumers to experience because they aren’t exported to …
