We can’t believe we ran into this wine at Costco. My Favorite Neighbor is among the darlings of the wine world right now it seems. Stories praising this wine seem to be on regular rotation on our Apple News feed. We first tried it in the 2018 vintage at a steakhouse (Flame in Springfield, MO …
Look what’s back in stores and right on time. We usually see the Kirkland Cotes De Provence Rose hit stores in the July 4th timeframe. And be aware, these bottles move fast. Like really fast. We wouldn’t be surprised to see them cleared out in the next few weeks. So if you’ve enjoyed it in …
Nothing pairs with summer like a crisp and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, and that’s exactly what we have here. This is our first time tasting this wine so we didn’t know what to expect but it definitely met and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Only doing the research now after having already tasted and making our notes, …
This is a classic Napa bottle that we were surprised, but delighted, to find at Costco. We’ve visited this winery a couple of times and have tasted many vintages of their Petite Sirah, always enjoying them, along with most of the other wines Stags’ Leap Winery offers. Note: Stags’ Leap Winery and Stag’s Leap Wine …
Finally, we found this. Just like many of you have trouble finding the wines we review here, we also sometimes have trouble finding the ones our readers recommend. Each trip to the store, we cross our fingers hoping to find them. The new Kirkland Chateauneuf has been out for a while, and readers have reported …
For those who follow our accounts on social media, you’ve no doubt seen a few people post about this bottle making a reappearance in stores right now. This is the Kirkland Signature Suscol Napa Cabernet, single vineyard. This wine debuted last year with the dynamite 2018 vintage, and pretty much everyone I heard from, including …
Here’s a Costco wine staple that we enjoy vintage to vintage. And it’s a little behind schedule this year, arriving in June vs November 1.5 years ago, when we reviewed the 2017 vintage. But better late than never, and we have high hopes for this 2018 vintage. Great news right off the bat is the …
Here’s an interesting find, that we decided to pick up from the Pinot aisle. It seems we’ve been drinking a fair amount of Pinot Noir but haven’t reviewed a lot of Costco bottles. We thought this might be fun because it’s from the McMinnville AVA in Willamette Valley, which is just a mecca for good …
We picked up this bottle for a couple different reasons. First, we love Columbia Valley wines, and Washington State wines overall. A while back we wrote a brief feature story about this, “Reflections on Washington State Wines and Why Everyone Should Be Buying Them.” So we wanted to know if this is one of those …
Here’s one of those fun affordable Bordeaux finds that pop up occasionally in Costco. This one actually appeared in the wooden boxes as opposed to the “cheap seats” (stacks of wine aisle) where the sub $20 ones often are found. You’ll notice the word Gloria in the name, and a quick Google search tells us …
Among Costco wines, particularly those in the Kirkland portfolio, it is really hard to beat the Oakville Cabernet for $20. This new 2019 vintage arrived right on time, usually Feb-March. We’re happy to see the price stay the same at $19.99. It was $18.99 a few years back but has been holding steady at $19.99 …
It seems like the prices keep creeping up on Albarino as word gets out about how good they are. I put Gruner Veltliner in that same bucket. You used to see them under $15, and now that’s quite rare, and most are closer to $20. Except at Costco. This is exactly the kind of white …
Look what arrived in stores a month or so early…one of our favorite bottles from the Kirkland wine portfolio. This marks the third vintage of this wine to be released, and in looking back over past reviews, you can see that we rated both the 2015 vintage and 2016 vintage 92 points. From the Costco …
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 …
