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 …
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 …
