When I see a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru at Costco for $20 it automatically jumps into my cart.  I’m glad this one did.  Obviously seeing “Figeac” on the label makes this bottle even more attractive, and the fact that these grapes are grown near the premier Chateau Figeac, and not far from the super premier Chateau …

We stumbled upon a Bordeaux (mostly Merlot) this X-mas season that convinced us that we MUST have been really good boys and girls this year because Santa delivered big time (We can’t help but wondering how many cases of this wine is being cellared in the North Pole). This is a mouth-watering, lip-smacking 2010 Bordeaux …

Our friends over The Fermented Fruit reviewed a Costco Bordeaux they enjoyed.  Click on over to read their review. I’m surprised I’m just now trying the Chateau Hanteillan 2010. Considering it received a solid 92 point score from Wine Enthusiast and is frequently touted by one of my favorite wine wholesalers: Wines Til Sold Out. They offer …

It’s always difficult to find the perfect Thanksgiving wine that everyone will unanimously agree pairs perfect with the hodge podge of food and flavors that are typically served on Thanksgiving tables around the country.  I tend to opt for a variety of different wines, and enjoy tasting them all at the same time with the …

This red blend from France’s (Southern) Languedoc region is an excellent wine and it was only $9.99 at my Costco store.   It is a blend of Syrah and Grenache, two varietals that both thrive in the southern parts of France.  The wine is drinking at a perfect point right now, having spent a little time …

Louis Latour is an wine-exporting legend.   They are negociants who bring a sizeable number of decent French wines to foreign markets dating back to the 70’s, if not before.   Among their bestknown exports is the Pouilly-Fuisse.   Occasionally, it will appear on Costco’s shelves – most recently in 2010.   Well, it’s back …

I’ve been meaning to get around to trying this Costco Rose.  It’s been a reader favorite, a frequently mentioned wine across the social networks and was priced at $18.99 at my Costco, which I think is an ok price (I’ve seen it elsewhere closer to $15).  We decided to pair this on a summer day with …

You don’t find many white burgundies under $12 and most of them are not as good as this one. Priced at $11.99 at Costco, this is a thoroughly enjoyable expression of Chardonnay that I imagine most white wine fans will enjoy. Bright and vibrant on the nose, this wine really lets the fruit shine through …
