We had several readers tip us off that this bottle was arriving in Costco stores, and we were thrilled to find it on our last trip. We bought three right away, but maybe should have picked up more. This one will sell out quickly. As you can see this is the 2022 vintage, and we …

Very interesting find here, and we had to do some poking around online to figure out the full story. One of our all time favorite wines and favorite properties in Bordeaux is Ducru-Beaucaillou. We had the opportunity to visit and meet with their team a few years back, and every single thing about the winery, …
Finding this bottle is always a highlight at the beginning of the year. We’ve been big fans, particularly of the last couple vintages. A little bit of a surprise though. We are getting a price increase, up to $18.99 from a previous $17.49. Still, for Premier Cru Chablis coming in under $20 is a good …
Ok, we have a new Bordeaux Superieur in the cheap seats. Long time readers know we love exploring these wines. The cheap seats refer to the aisles of stacked wines, versus those in the wooden boxes. In the cheap seats you never know what you’re going to find. More than anything, the wines in the …
It’s been a little while since we’ve posted specifically about the Kirkland Champagne, which remains one of our favorite Costco wine buys, and an insane value for real French Champagne. It’s appeared in several of our feature stories, but we wanted to revisit it with a focused review. The last time we posted was back …
A popular Kirkland bottle is back with the latest 2021 vintage. We have been enjoying this one the past few years, and it remains a killer buy on juice from a premier region you just can’t access for the same price anywhere else. So the price staying at $13.99 was a huge bonus. A couple …
Here’s the new Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur arriving in stores right on time. For a while it was a Jan – Feb wine, but lately it’s been hitting in December. That’s good news if you’re looking for an inexpensive red to stock up on for the holidays. We instantly went to the price, $6.99 again, which …
This was a surprise and delight. The inaugural 2019 vintage of this new Kirkland offering was in stores in January of this year, so we weren’t on the lookout for the next one quite yet. But what a nice surprise, along with the price going down, albeit only a few cents, but we like it …
Long time readers know that we love finding and tasting these “forgotten wines” that end up in the cheap seats (the rows of stacked wine boxes vs the wooden boxes). We call them the forgotten wines because you can often find wines from lesser known, or talked about regions, stuffed in between the usual suspects. …
Here’s a new Saint Emilion Grand Cru that showed up at our Costco, and it’s one that we’ve tasted and always enjoyed in the past. Usually a solid wine at a great value, and that’s exactly what we found in the 2020 vintage. Costco’s price was $35.99, which is totally fair for a wine of …
The new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages started hitting stores a couple weeks ago, right on schedule for an October release. We went to a few stores to track it down, but didn’t find it until the other day. First thing we wanted to see is that nice $6.99 price tag continue with this next …
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 …
