This is exactly the kind of white wine that I’m on the lookout for at Costco; something a little off the beaten path, usually found in the wooden bins after you’ve passed all the California Chardonnay. We found another one of these just the other week. I’ve stated before here that I’d love to start seeing …
Here’s a great pick if you’re looking for an easy going, affordable summer wine to stock up on and enjoy all summer long. Italy is a really good place to look for Pinot Grigio, as we’ve written about before, and this bottle is a perfect example of the favorable quality to price ratio you can …
This new addition to the Kirkland wine family started appearing in stores a couple weeks back, and finally hit my store in the Atlanta area. It was also featured in the latest issue of the Costco Connection magazine. A Prosecco Rosé almost seems like a no brainer given the wine community’s current love for bubbly …
It seems like people around the wine world are talking a lot about Chianti Classico at the moment. I know one of my favorite wine writers, Eric Asimov from the NY Times, is a huge fan of them right now. We’ve always enjoyed them as well, finding a lot of quality at great prices, so …
On the heels of a rather tasty Italian Pinot Noir (Monte Degli Angeli Piemonte) that we scored at Costco for $7.47, how appropriate that we find and review another Italian Pinot Noir from Costco? This one is a little more expensive at $12.69 and comes to us from the Veneto region, known for some popular …
Here’s a fun Costco wine find that we were super curious about. You don’t see a ton of Italian Pinot Noir out there; plus this wine originated from Italy’s famed Piedmont region, where you also find a number of high caliber reds. The price was great at $7.49 and the Costco placard proudly displayed the …
There are quite a few new vintages of popular Kirkland wines hitting stores right now. This Chianti is always an interesting find for us that we are anxious to taste but never super excited about. Right off the bat though there’s some good news, a price drop. For as long as I can remember this …
Here’s a white wine that grabbed my attention. I don’t drink a lot of Pinot Grigio, but this bottle was $11.99 at Costco and proudly displayed its 91 points from Wine Enthusiast. Turns out they also named the wine an “Editor’s Choice.” Retail price on this bottle is around $20, and my Total Wine carries …
We heard from readers a week ago that the 2016 vintage of the Kirkland Barolo was showing up in stores, and that was music to our ears. The 2015 vintage, which came out exactly a year ago, was the inaugural vintage of this new Kirkland wine, and we welcomed it with open arms. The price …
Earlier this year we saw the introduction of a Kirkland Signature Barolo for $20 that we loved. Who would guess that a few months later, Costco would stock another Barolo priced even lower than that? Barolo wines just don’t get priced this low so I was a little skeptical going in, but also excited at …
It might be wintertime, when hearty red wines seem to really hit the spot, at least for me, but it’s fun to sprinkle in the occasional white wine. When I found the latest vintage of this Italian Gavi at my Costco, I didn’t hesitate. We first reviewed this wine about a year ago, in the …
This is the type of wine we are all on the look out for at Costco. A solid red, from an underappreciated region, produced from organic grapes, with high ratings, at a great Costco price. That underappreciated region is Italy’s Abruzzo, which doesn’t get mainstream love like a Chianti or Super Tuscan, but it should …
Here’s an interesting wine that came our way, a Prosecco Rosé, which is something I’ve never tasted before and after poking around online, I learned this is a pretty recent addition to the wine world. As many of you know, Prosecco is made from the Glera grape, and what they did with the Prosecco Rosé …
The Kirkland Brunello is a welcome find when it hits Costco shelves, and it’s always nice to see the price stay consistent from the prior vintage at $26.99. Like the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape and Kirkland Barolo (both priced just a little lower), this bottle offers access to one of the top wine regions in the world …
And…we have another popular Kirkland bottle hitting store shelves in a brand vintage: the dependable, but not unbelievable, Kirkland Chianti Riserva. The Kirkland Chianti is one of those mid-pack Kirkland wines that are priced right, they’re ok for an average meal or pizza night, but they just leave a little to be desired. Similar to …
