There’s not really a story as to why we picked out this wine other than it was a bottle we’ve never seen at Costco before, and figured we’d report back to you on what we find. And it turned out to be a fantastic pick. You can see on the Costco placard the wine’s previous …
Here’s a popular Kirkland wine that’s back in the latest vintage. First thing we noticed is a price jump to $8.99 from a previous $7.99 that we saw for the 2018 vintage. Before that it was hovering around $8.49, so this is the first time it’s broken new ground, but still just by a smidge. …
Banfi is a super dependable name in Italian wine and their wines typically offer a good bang for the buck. We have found quite a few wines from them at Costco over the years, most recently their Chianti Classico, Centine red blend, and a couple years back even a Gavi. This is our first time …
Finding this bottle at Costco was a nice surprise. Argiolas produces a number of white and red wines that we’ve always enjoyed (their Turriga is a popular one on the higher end). If you also shop at Total Wine, you can find several of their more affordable (around $15) reds too (Costera and Perdera are …
There’s a lot of value and quality to be found in Chianti Classicos these days. Eric Asimov, the wine critic at the NY Times, has been a big voice for these wines, and we have tended to agree. A couple months ago we found the Cecchi Chianti Classico at Costco for $13, and that turned …
Look what arrived in stores a month or so early…one of our favorite bottles from the Kirkland wine portfolio. This marks the third vintage of this wine to be released, and in looking back over past reviews, you can see that we rated both the 2015 vintage and 2016 vintage 92 points. From the Costco …
What a pleasant find this turned out to be. We’re always fans of Chianti Classico and consistently find them to deliver a big bang for the buck. This bottle is a perfect example of that. Costco’s price is fantastic at only $12.99. The wine is $19 at Total Wine. As far as solid buys under …
I’ve almost pulled the trigger on this bottle a few times before. Rarely do you find an Amarone priced this low so I’m always a little skeptical. But Costco usually delivers, like they did on the Covalli Barolo that also seemed to good to be true for $14.99. This Amarone came in at $22.99 and …
This bottle is always a welcome site in the Costco wine aisles. If you’ve never read our reviews, you might be skeptical (as were at first), asking yourself how can a real Barolo be priced at only $14.99? Even the Kirkland Barolo, which we really like too, is $20. But I’m happy to say, and …
We have back to back reviews of Tuscan bottles that Costco carries for under $10. And both turned out to be really good finds. A new friend, Christopher Lochhead of the excellent “Follow Your Different” podcast, requested a few Tuscan wine reviews from us, so here they are. We just posted about the Banfi Centine …
It’s great to see the latest vintage of this bottle hitting Costco stores. This one is a reader and personal favorite, delivering amazing quality for under $10. Costco’s price remains only $8.99, which is the same as the prior vintage we reviewed. Online you will find it around $10-$12, and this one is pretty widely …
I heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Brunello starting appearing in stores last week, and I tried twice to find it before finally running into it today. What no one mentioned is the huge news that’s apparent right away. A new label? Yes, but that’s not it. How about a price …
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 …
