This was a great Costco wine find that was recommended by several readers. Bodega Tapiz is a super dependable producer from Argentina. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a wine from them (longer than I thought). The last review was back in 2019 with the Tapiz Black Tears Malbec, a big time winner and one that …
The latest vintage of the Kirkland Malbec arriving in stores is always a welcome sight, and what we expect to see in December of each year. Similar to the Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur that we just reviewed, this bottle continues to retain its super low $6.99 price tag. With the inflation we’ve seen elsewhere, it’s surprising …
On the heels of our review of the Infinito Malbec that had a nice limited discount on it, now we find another one, that with the limited time discount brings the price down to under $10. The Infinito turned out to be pretty good; we went 87 points. This one is just a few bucks …
This turned out to be an interesting wine to review. On our first pass at writing down notes, we weren’t super impressed, and just got thrown off by this smokiness that couldn’t come off the nose. This does occur, and usually a decant will help, which was what happened in this case. A little air …
We came across this new Malbec in the Costco wine aisle and figured we’d give it a shot. The price was right at $9.99. A quick search shows online prices ranging from $13-$17 so it appears to be a good Costco price. The wine is predominantly Malbec (90%) but also contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and …
We dropped this one in the cart just for purposes of exploration for this site. We’ve never seen or tasted this Argentinean red blend before. On the placard you’ll see the 92 points the wine received from Wine Advocate. We couldn’t find a true retail price for the bottle. Online it really varies but most …
We are always on the lookout for a nice, affordably priced Malbec and Costco’s placard card sold this one pretty good. Not only did the bottle receive a huge 95 point score from James Suckling, but it was also listed as his #6 Value Wine of the Year. So we figured this one needed proper …
You’d have to be a long time reader of this blog to remember the last time we found the Chento Malbec at Costco. It was all the way back in July of 2016 when we found the 2012 vintage for $13.89. The opening line in that review stated, “Massive bargain here. Great wine at a …
Here’s another limited time discount Costco wine find, that essentially knocks the price in half compared to its full retail of around $20. Normally $16.99 at Costco, the limited time $6 off (until 2/13) brings it down to only $10.99. And this wine is pretty amazing. I’d jump on this while you can. Here’s a …
We’ve been waiting for the latest vintage of this one to arrive, and perhaps it’s been here longer than we thought but we just didn’t see it. I found the 2020 vintage hidden among a bunch of 2019 bottles. I just happened to notice the 2020 listing on the box. So perhaps you can find …
Malbec is such as good place to find value in the wine world today, so bumping into this one for $7.99 at Costco caught my interest. This bottle is $14.49 at Total Wine, and around $12 elsewhere online, so Costco’s price is amazing. The wine inside is too, making this a big time Costco winner. …
I always love trying new Malbecs that pop up at Costco and this one turned out to be quite a find. The price was right at only $7.89. Online it looks like the retail price of this wine hovers around $10-12, so Costco is offering the bottle at a decent discount. It certainly tasted like …
It was only about 8 months ago when we reviewed the 2018 vintage of this Kirkland wine, and we noted that we enjoyed that vintage more than in years past. We scored it 87 points. So things were trending in the right direction. And that seems to be confirmed by this new 2019 vintage, which …
Just like we tried to find an alternative to the Kirkland Rose, today we’re going to taste what could be a good alternative to the always enjoyable, ridiculously low priced, and reader favorite Kirkland Malbec. Costco’s price of $7 on the Kirkland Malbec makes it almost untouchable, but this Alamos Malbec comes close at a …
I always love running into the discounted wines at Costco since the already great pricing just gets even better. Sometimes it’s a lot (like this one that I barely missed) and sometimes it’s just a small percentage, like this Malbec I just ran into this week. Standard price is $9.49 but with $1.50 off it …
