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 is perhaps the most interesting wine I’ve tasted in a long time, and it is the first time I’ve tasted a “white” Pinot Noir. I felt pretty confident in the hands of Willamette Valley Vineyards because they are experts with Pinot Noir. We’ve highlighted quite a few of their Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs over …
Here’s a fun new Costco wine find that I’ve heard about from multiple readers who have already found it and enjoyed it – the “Hello Summer” mixed wine multi pack that contains 12 375ml bottles from around the world. Sound kind of familiar? If you were a fan of the Costco Wine Advent Calendars we …
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 …
Here’s an interesting Costco wine find. We’ve been on a bit of a Paso Robles kick and have reviewed more reds, and the occasional white, mainly the Daou Chardonnay, which is what we’ve found available at Costco so far. The only other Viognier I’ve tasted from Paso Robles that comes to mind was one I …
It might be wintertime, when hearty red wines seem to really hit the spot, at least for me, but it’s fun to sprinkle in the occasional white wine. When I found the latest vintage of this Italian Gavi at my Costco, I didn’t hesitate. We first reviewed this wine about a year ago, in the …
Here’s a bottle I was pumped to see hit my Costco because I just love wines from Trimbach, Most of the time I have to purchase them at Total Wine, which usually has a nice selection of their white wine varietals. So it was awesome to see this one arrive into Costco for $16.99. Retail …
This is always a hard wine for me to peg down. Some years I like it a lot more than others, and I’m starting to think that it might be situational. It is a wine with an intended purpose – hot summer weather – and when it is consumed in that environment, it’s a treat. …
A few readers have asked for us to post some new white wine reviews, which made me realize that it had been a little while since we last had. This time of the year, I just gravitate towards the reds, but I made a special point to try to find a good white wine to …
Here’s a very nice bottle of white wine that people might not naturally gravitate too, but they should. Gavi originates from Italy’s famed Piedmont area in the northwestern part of the country, and the wine is made from the Cortese grape, which is kind of an old school variety that’s been grown in the area …
I admit I’m a sucker for top wine lists. I have to look at them, and that’s what locked me into buying this wine. I noticed it was listed as the #5 wine on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 wines of 2018 and I thought that was pretty interesting for an Oregon Pinot Blanc priced this …
It’s amazing how wines can hit you differently. We found the 2017 vintage of this Kirkland Pinot Grigio to be rather bland; drinkable sure, but not a lot going on. We scored it 85 points. Either the producer stepped it up a notch, or we got the last one wrong, because this 2018 vintage was …
We always love seeing some different white wine varietals hit Costco as it’s a pleasant change from the sea of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blancs that tend to dominate most store shelves. We recently found some tasty Albarino that we recommend, and this Vermentino is another winner for only $12.99. The retail price seems to be between …
This Vinho Verde is a Costco staple this time of the year, and it’s a bottle that we frequently toss in the cart just to have on hand because it’s priced so low and seems to come in handy when the time is right (i.e. summertime). It’s not my favorite wine by any means, but …
