It was a surprise to see this Bordeaux land in Costco stores. As many of you know we are serious Bordeaux lovers, and Chateau Gloria is consistently a winner in our books. The price at Costco is just what we wanted too: $34.99. It’s at least $45-50 almost everywhere else, even $54.97 at Total Wine. …

We were curious how this one would show. It’s a new offering in the Pinot Noir aisle, which desperately needs some new additions, at least around us. The price was certainly right at only $11.99. It’s hard to find good Pinot in that price range, and this one held up pretty well. The label carries …
This is one of our top go-to bottles at Costco, and while the window when it hits stores seems to vary year to year, the quality of this wine is remarkably consistent. Costco has maintained the price too at $12.99, which is what’s it’s been since 2015 when we found it for $11.99. So inflation …
We don’t see too many Bordeaux blancs in the Costco wine aisles and it’s too bad because they are really fun whites, usually inexpensive, and perfect when the weather is super hot like it is right now across much of the country. Costco’s price was $14.99, which seems pretty good since it looks to be …
For years, we’ve been asking for Costco to bring in more unique white wines and boy have they delivered upon that request in 2023. This one really caught us by surprise, and there’s a lot to unpack. First is the varietal make up of this unique white blend from southwest France. It consists of 70% Petit …
We love finding and tasting new Chateauneuf-du-pape from Costco, and here’s a new addition to the wine aisles that turned out to be a huge score. Outside of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape that is priced at $20, it’s hard to find good Chateauneuf at a reasonable price. Usually you have to spend $40-$50+ to get the highly …
We have to say, the summer of 2023 is seeing the widest selection of new and interesting white wines at Costco that we’ve experienced while running this site. At least in the stores around the Atlanta area, and we hope you are finding some of these too. Here is another one, a little outside the …
Finding this bottle at Costco helps close the story of the mystery Chablis we encountered a few weeks ago. In a rare mistake somewhere along the supply chain (and isolated to just our store we believe), bottles of the Simonnet Febvre Chablis were put in bins at Costco where this Sauvignon Blanc should have been. …
This Rhone Valley white was a pleasant surprise for us on our last trip to Costco. We are seeing more and more unique white wines finally hitting stores, and it’s really exciting to be able to taste through them. Here we have a Cotes du Rhone Villages white selling for $13. Regular readers know we …
Here’s another new white wine to hit Costco that we were pumped to find. We just reviewed this excellent Gavi, and like we mentioned in that review, it’s refreshing to see new bottles like this arriving in stores. Sometimes the white section can get a little stale with the same wines, at least around the …
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 …
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this review we were notified that the wrong bottle was sent from the distributor to our Costco store, likely in a one off mistake. So while the Simonnet Febvre Chablis that you see pictured here rang up with this price and item number, it was not the right bottle. Rather it …
We were thrilled to find the new Kirkland Chateauneuf a full month earlier than in years past. Rumblings began a few weeks ago among readers who had found it, and thankfully it hit our stores this past weekend. A few things to note, starting with the price, staying steady at $19.99. We would have almost …
We mentioned before a goal to taste a lot of wines from Burgundy in 2023, so every time we see a new one pop up at Costco, we’re going to try to give it a review. Here’s a Pouilly-Fuisse that came in at $18.99, and it turned out to be an excellent find. Online we …
We hold a special place in our hearts for Champagne. It’s just delicious and fitting for any occasion. But outside of Costco’s Kirkland Champagne which you can buy for $20, buying real Champagne on a regular basis can hit the wallet pretty hard. A really good solution is to explore France’s Cremants from various regions. They …
