One of our wine goals for 2023 is to further explore the wines of Burgundy, both red and white. So when we see a new bottle at the Costco stores near us, we’re going to buy it and review. Feel free to take this journey alongside us. This base level Bourgogne from a big name …

This popular Kirkland bottle usually hits stores around this time of the year. It was a little late last year arriving in March, at least around the Atlanta area. The price actually went down with this latest vintage, just a few cents, but glad to see it not going the other way. Finding Premier Cru Chablis …
In all the years of running this site, this might be the Costco bottle we’ve wanted to find the most. We love the Costco hunt, but when we first heard from readers this new Kirkland wine was out there, we were hitting our Costco stores left and right trying to find it. Finally, we found …
We are excited to see the new Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur hitting shelves a month or so early. Usually we see this one arrive in the February timeframe. It’s also nice to see the price continue to stay at $6.99 which is really good for the quality we’ve been finding in this wine, especially the more …
This was a welcome sight in the Costco wine aisles – the latest vintage of the Kirkland Signature Gigondas, which usually arrives in Jan is here a little early this year. It’s hard to believe that Kirkland produces a Gigondas bottle as it’s not the region of France you hear talked about all that much. …
This bottle is a fairly familiar sight around Costco wine aisles. It seems to appear almost every vintage, and usually sticks around for a while, especially at the stores we frequent around the Atlanta area. And it’s a real treat because it is just a solid, dependable, and inexpensive wine that you should definitely try …
Here’s a new Champagne hitting the Costco shelves, and the first thing you notice is the super cool bottle design that is short and stubby; neat label too. The price was right at $27.99, which is a level where you rarely find real Champagne, outside of the $19.99 Kirkland Champagne, which we always enjoy. Online …
We weren’t sure what to expect here but had a sneaking suspicion that this might be an under the radar winner. And we were spot on. Languedoc is a region in Southern France, in between the Mediterranean and Rhone Valley, and you can see the Rhone influence in the varietal blend here which is 70% …
We heard from a few readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages was hitting stores, and were surprised because it’s a bit early for this one. The last vintage reached us in March of this year. But finding the new one is a welcome site. This bottle really is all …
We thought this one might overdeliver and it does. This is a great Costco wine find. We’re big Bordeaux fans, and for $20, this is a score. Online the price seems to be closer to the $28 range, so it appears Costco’s bringing it in at a competitive buy. Suckling has gone in the low …
We knew we had tried this bottle before because the label looked awfully familiar. But in searching past reviews we couldn’t find it which was odd. So we went deep into the historical pages and found it, in the 2015 vintage. The label looked the same but the producer changed from Olivier Larochette to Charles Debourges. The …
This is a staple Costco Chablis that is usually a pretty safe bet for fans of this region, which we definitely are. The price was $19 a few years ago and has creeped up a little to $22.99 but seems to have stabilized there which is a good sign. I found a few other outlets …
It’s always exciting to see a new bottle from Gerard Bertrand hit Costco shelves and we immediately drop them in the cart, both to review for all of you and also because we consistently enjoy them. This is the first of this specific one that we’ve spotted. About a year ago we found the Tautavel …
Look what’s back in stores and right on time. We usually see the Kirkland Cotes De Provence Rose hit stores in the July 4th timeframe. And be aware, these bottles move fast. Like really fast. We wouldn’t be surprised to see them cleared out in the next few weeks. So if you’ve enjoyed it in …
When looking for value buys in the Costco wine aisle, some of our favorite finds are the small displays of random Bordeaux bottles that wedge in between other wines in the “cheap seats” (meaning the aisles of stacked wine, not wooden boxes). If you browse through our French review pages, you can find quite a …
