Fresh off the cusp of reviewing a great Costco Rioja find, the 2015 La Gitana Gold Rioja, we decided to also try this one, and see how it compared. There’s a lot of similarities and in the end, we discovered two amazing wines that we can’t recommend enough. Both wines are priced under $15 at …
Well, I finally found it. I heard from readers all over the country that the new 2019 Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages was out there, but it didn’t show up in Atlanta area stores until recently. My first question for readers who found it: did the price stay the same at $6.99? The answer thankfully …
This is the best $12 bottle of wine I’ve had in some time. I almost didn’t buy this because the label just looked a little suspect. I’m not sure why (and it looks better in the picture below), it just came off to me visually as a cheap bottle. But this initial perception was way …
Portugal is one of the wine areas that I’d like to see stocked more at Costco, so finding this bottle was a welcome sight. The price was right too at $8.99. The wine has a retail price of $19 and online it gets as low as $10. So $8.99 at Costco seems like a fair …
We’ve had a great string of Costco wines that we have tasted and reviewed from Paso Robles (Austin Hope, Dauo, Justin). Here’s the latest entry in that club, and what a gift on the price. This wine elsewhere, online and at Total Wine seems to be around $20-$25. Costco’s standard price is $15.99 and that’s …
Smith & Hook is one of those dependable names you love to see on a bottle of wine. Kind of like Seghesio, Ridge or Mayacamas (first three that came to mind), I just can’t think of the last time I tasted a wine from Smith & Hook that I didn’t enjoy. So finding the latest …
The Kirkland Napa Valley Red Blend is back, and the price has stayed the same at $10.99, which is pretty hard to beat for Napa juice. The last vintage we reviewed was the 2016 about a year ago, so not sure if the ’17 snuck past us, or was skipped. The wine this year is …
I’ve always been curious about this European wine box that first showed up last year near me, but seemed to sell out fairly fast (and before I had a chance to grab one). It’s back this year, at $29.99 which is the same price I believe as the prior year with a similar sampling of …
We are always on the lookout for bottles that have the special limited time Costco discount, taking even more off the already low price. In this case though, the discount was just the icing on the cake. This wine is so good, it’s a steal at the regular price of $14.99, which is still below …
I like to throw in the occasional Zinfandel when I come across them at Costco. The price was right on this bottle at $9.79 and I’ve seen it at Total Wine for just a bit more at $10.99. Zinfandel can be all over the map so I figured it be helpful to readers to report …
I had a couple readers write in to recommend trying this Tuscan red blend that just showed up in Costco stores near me. The price was right at only $8.99 and Banfi is a huge name in Tuscan wine, especially Brunello, so I was interested to see how this affordable red would stack up. The …
It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed a Merlot so when I ran into this one, I figured I’d give it a try. Without knowing much about the wine, I like that it’s from Washington State’s Horse Heaven Hills (usually solid), and Costco’s price was $10.99, which I just assumed was good at the …
This is a big time value buy at Costco right now for only $8.99. Online it looks like it sells closer to $15, but either way, it’s an excellent wine. Scoring it for $9 is a real treat for Costco shoppers. The wine hails from Jumilla which is a wine region on the Mediterranean coast …
Here’s a fun find that I wanted to get up quick due to what could be a huge limited discount. Although you will see in the photos that follow, that Costco may adopt the sales price as the regular price as they sometimes too (and I think we caught them showing their hand this time, …
This is an interesting wine and a good choice when you want something a little different. It’s “kind of” an Italian style red because the blend is led by Sangiovese, but it’s also very new world in how the wine tastes. And I would say it will be more satisfying to the new world drinker, …
