As we are still waiting for the latest vintage (2020) of the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages to appear in stores around us, this one showed up as a nice surprise and possible replacement. The price is the same as the Kirkland bottle at only $6.99. I poked around online and noticed that the wine …
We are still heavy on the look out for the latest vintage of the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages that several readers found last month (not a lot of positive reviews coming in on it, which is a surprise, so I hope to taste soon). But I did find another Kirkland Rhone bottle we are …
Here’s a solid Costco wine find for all you Champagne fans out there. The discounted price until 11/21 is only $20.99, which is $6 off a regular price of $26.99. That puts this right in the same territory as the $20 Kirkland Champagne that we love so much. Online the retail price of this Sophie …
Here’s a nice find for all you bubbly fans out there. As long-time readers know, we are huge fans of French Cremants, and they pop up on occasion at Costco. Cremants are an affordable alternative to French Champagne and, in our opinion at least, they are more interesting than Prosecco or Cava. These Cremants can …
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 …
I bumped into this super inexpensive Bordeaux Superieur in the cheap seats (aisles of wine, not the wooden bins) and pulled the trigger right away so I could report back if this was worth buying. I love finding these affordable Bordeaux at Costco to try. The wine earned 90 points from Wine Enthusiast as indicated …
There are not a lot of places to look for value wine buys in Burgundy nowadays, but Macon Villages and the entire Maconnais region still hits the mark for me. I really love the style of these Macon Villages wines and they remain perhaps among the best values you’ll find in white Burgundy and French …
I bought this bottle while looking for wines we’ve never reviewed in the Pinot Noir section at my Costco. We just reviewed the Wapisa Pinot Noir from Patagonia that we really enjoyed ($15, 89 points). Prior to that we reviewed the Oyster Bay Pinot Noir which was $11.99 and we rated that 89 points as …
We always love finding new bottles of rosé at Costco to try, particularly those from Provence, France, which is well known for stellar rosé. This one hails from Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence which is the furthest West area of the region. There’s a really good website with a ton of information on the area for those who …
This might not be the first bottle you gravitate to if you’re not familiar with it, or haven’t tasted many white Bordeaux, but white wine fans should take note. This is a fantastic wine at a great price. The retail price is around $19.99 and Costco is selling for $13.99; gotta love that. Critic scores …
As we’ve been drinking more Champagne, I’ve been wanting to buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot to see how it stacks up. I’ve had a few bottles over the years and have always enjoyed them. This Champagne is widely available and almost always in stock, at least in the stores around the Atlanta area. We …
I almost passed this bottle up thinking it was the Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Cuvee that we reviewed last year, and really enjoyed. The similarities are uncanny: the price, the label, the varietal blend, the origin (both Limoux Brut Rosé); the ABV, but different vintages, 2017 vs 2018. But then I noticed this one was …
Outside of a new varietal or region of Kirkland wines making a debut, this is one of the Kirkland bottles I look forward to the most every single year. The fact that I love Chateauneuf wines coupled with the fact that you generally cannot purchase good ones, if any at all, in this $20 price …
We drink a fair amount of bubbly wine at our house. It just goes with anything, any meal, anybody. Long time readers know that we love the Kirkland Champagne for $19.99. That’s real French Champagne at an almost unheard of price. We were excited to see another French bubbly hit our Costco stores, this time …
Here’s a name you might know (Gerard Bertrand) but a region you might not (Tautavel). This makes for an interesting combo to explore. I first purchased this wine last year from Wine.com for $16, which was also my first experience with a wine from Tautavel, and I really enjoyed it. You’re always pretty safe in …
