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 …
The Kirkland Malbec hasn’t been one of our favorites historically, although it’s hard to argue against a wine that only costs $6.99, as it does again this year in the current vintage. And I actually found this vintage to be a nice step in the right direction. I gave the 2017 85 points, noting it …
Here’s your perfect everyday drinker. This wine turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be, a tasty Mendoza Malbec for under $10. I’m always on the lookout for inexpensive Malbecs like this, and while they typically represent pretty good values, some stand out more than others. This is one of those wines. …
Costco always has a nice selection of Malbecs to choose from, and seems to constantly bring them in and out, which allows you to sample a wide variety of different bottles. Just make sure that if you find one you like, you buy more right away, as they can disappear. Catena, Norton and Ben Marco …
This wine is on sale until June 9th in select Costco clubs. I have seen wine sales extend past the date given on the signs, so it is possible that it will remain on sale for longer. The current sale price is $9.99, with a $4 discount from the regular $13.99 price. Because I like a …
It took us a little while to get into this Argentinean red blend, but when we finally did, we really started to like it. I think it helped to give this wine a little air as well as to pair it with short ribs off the Big Green Egg, which was the ideal complement. This …
That headline sounds pretty complicated, but it really shouldn’t be. Put simply, this is a $20 Argentinian red blend comprised of 60% Malbec, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Franc. And it’s really good. The first thing you notice with this one is the heft of the bottle, that seems to weigh about twice as much …
I can’t remember where exactly, but I’ve heard this Black Tears Malbec from Tapiz discussed before and was always curious about it. I believe it might have be featured on some older podcasts I listened to, but can’t remember for sure. This is probably the most expensive bottle of Malbec I’ve bought, maybe ever. Costco’s …
