2018 Bodega Tapiz Bicentenario Red Blend

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 …

2019 Masseria Surani Primitivo

We love finding new wines at Costco, especially varietals like this that we don’t see all the time. Wine being a lifelong journey of discovery, it’s important to try new things, be adventurous, and be open to new styles and grapes. Primitivo is actually from the same grape variety as Zinfandel (which originates from Croatia). …

2018 Bodegas y Vinedos Pujanza Valdepoleo Rioja

We love finding and trying new Riojas from Costco, and this one checked quite a few boxes. Pretty solid ratings as indicated on the placard below. 94 from Wine Advocate, and a later Google search shows low 90’s for this wine from several of the recent vintages. The price at Costco was $19.99, and some …

2020 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Red Wine

Costco’s been playing around with some redesigns of the Kirkland wine labels over the past year, so this new one caught our eye. It’s also a Columbia Valley Red blend, not the Cabernet that we have reviewed more recently. There was a Cabernet – Merlot a while back and before that a red blend that …

2018 Antiche Terre Venete Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

We thought it might be time to revisit this popular Costco Amarone.  The last time we reviewed it was back with the 2016 vintage that we enjoyed and gave 89 points. We have a similar story with the 2018 vintage that is in Costco stores right now.  The price did go up $1 to $23.99, …

2018 E Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge

This bottle is a fairly familiar sight around Costco wine aisles. It seems to appear almost every vintage, and usually sticks around for a while, especially at the stores we frequent around the Atlanta area. And it’s a real treat because it is just a solid, dependable, and inexpensive wine that you should definitely try …

2018 Chateau Faugeres Calice de Faugeres Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

We thought this one might overdeliver and it does. This is a great Costco wine find. We’re big Bordeaux fans, and for $20, this is a score. Online the price seems to be closer to the $28 range, so it appears Costco’s bringing it in at a competitive buy. Suckling has gone in the low …
