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, …
This Chianti Classico had a few things going for it that made a strong case for throwing a bottle in our cart. First, we love Chianti Classicos, and particularly those with 5-7 years of age on them, so this 2016 fit the bill quite nicely. It’s drinking really good right now. Next, we remembered tasting …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
We love seeing new bottles from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars hit the shelves at Costco and this AVETA Sauvignon Blanc is one that we’ve never seen before, at least around the Atlanta area Costco stores we frequent. Previously, as far as white wines go from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, we’ve reviewed and enjoyed their Karia …
Here’s one of our favorite Kirkland wines coming in right on time with the latest vintage. Fall is usually when this Brunello hits stores, and right off the bat we have some good news with the price staying at $19.99. Long time readers may remember this wine had crept up to $27 in prior years, …
It’s that time of the year again when we look back at some of our favorite Costco wine finds throughout the year. We have quite a few new additions that we enjoyed this year. If you want to check out our previous roundups, here is this same list from 2021, 2020 and 2019. It’s always …
We weren’t sure what to expect here but had a sneaking suspicion that this might be an under the radar winner. And we were spot on. Languedoc is a region in Southern France, in between the Mediterranean and Rhone Valley, and you can see the Rhone influence in the varietal blend here which is 70% …
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 …
There are quite a few interesting things about this bottle we found at Costco, which we’ve never seen before. First is the mistake on the Costco placard, labeling this wine as a Rioja, which would lead you to believe it was comprised of Tempranillo. But the wine is actually from Alicante and is comprised of …
Here’s a popular Kirkland wine hitting stores right on schedule, usually in the Sept-Oct timeframe. We’ve heard from several readers who found this wine weeks before we did, so hopefully it’s beginning to make its way into more stores. Two things right off the bat. Yes, the price stayed the same at $10.99. That’s a …
This is the second year now (last time was Sept 2020) that this fantastic Rioja sees a huge limited time discount, taking what is already an amazing wine for $15, down to only $8.99. The discount is only around for another week, so grab these while you can. Retail is around $20, and you can …
It’s hard to believe it’s that time already, but here we are just closing out summer and bam, we get the Costco wine advent calendar hitting stores, alongside Christmas trees and holiday decorations. This is about the same time of the year when last years Advent Calendar dropped, first week of September. It always seems …
Ok, we’ll admit it, the label sucked us in pretty fast here. Love this design, and we couldn’t wait to flip the bottle around to see what this was all about. Usually we try to stay away from wines that are trying hard to be something, but this one (along with some of the Aussie …
We dropped this one in the cart just for purposes of exploration for this site. We’ve never seen or tasted this Argentinean red blend before. On the placard you’ll see the 92 points the wine received from Wine Advocate. We couldn’t find a true retail price for the bottle. Online it really varies but most …
We knew we had tasted this bottle a few times but a subsequent search of the site shows the last time we reviewed it was all the way back in April of 2016 with the 2013 vintage. So I’m glad we’re getting in a fresh review of a new vintage because this wine is once …
