We realized a nice upside surprise on this bottle. While I think Australian wines overall seem to be trending in the right direction in terms of price and quality, I’m still never quite certain what I’m going to get when I pour that first glass. I’ll admit the 93 points from Wine Enthusiast listed on …

There was really no reason to choose this Pinot Noir. I’ve never heard of this winery, and primarily bought it so I could report back to you about how it turned out. Just a fun experiment, but man, once I tasted it I’m really glad I picked this one. It’s not inexpensive at $24, but …
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 …
Here’s a fun find, a Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc at a great Costco price of only $12.69. I do love Sauvignon Blanc on hot summer days so figured we’d give this a shot and see how it turned out. The short answer: this is a delicious, super crisp, summer wine at a fantastic price. …
I’m going to continue grabbing different Pinot Noirs as I started doing over the past few months. This La Crema Pinot is a Costco staple and at least around the Atlanta area is pretty widely available. I hope that you are able to find it as it turned out to be a delicious wine. La …
I hold a special place in my wine drinking history for Ferrari-Carano wines. Early on, when I was just starting out, it seemed like I would gravitate towards their wines when I wanted something that was “a little step up.” Plus the name is cool and easy to say; the wines are generally pretty solid …
It’s starting to feel like summer around the Atlanta area, and that’s when white wine hits the spot for me. I haven’t found many interesting whites though at the Costcos around us yet. I’m hoping for some Albarino, German Riesling, Vinho Verde, Vermentino, Arneis, or even whites from anywhere in France besides the obvious spots. …
Look what’s back, the Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is finally making an appearance after a long hiatus. The last vintage of this to hit Costco stores was the 2016 and it was available almost exactly two years ago. And there are a few important things to note about this new bottle. First, is the change …
I finally found it and there was a whole corner of it still left – the Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose, which might be the fastest selling Kirkland wine of the bunch. This is going to move fast so if you see it, buy it. The reason being is that this is consistently high …
We just reviewed the Daou Cabernet, also from Paso Robles and loved it, awarding the wine 90 points, and a spot on our Top Picks list. Costco brought that one in around the same price point as this Justin bottle, so we have two very solid offerings from Paso worth exploring in stores right now. …
I love it when we get a nice string of wines that all hit our Top Picks list. It doesn’t happen that often since we really try to reserve this list for the best Costco wines we find, and rate 90+ points. But when it does, it makes this job a lot more fun. We …
The Foxglove Chardonnay is one of those wines that you frequently see listed in write ups with headlines like “Best summer white wine buys,” or “Best whites under $15.” That was how I first learned about it. I can’t remember the list that I read a couple years ago, but I remember seeking this wine …
When it comes to wines from the U.S. outside of Napa and Sonoma, I’ve said before I’m really enjoying a lot of reds from WA State, and I am finding them to be good values. Oregon of course, New York’s Finger Lakes and I think Virginia is an up and comer. Paso Robles is another …
The Seghesio Zinfandel is one of those Costco staple wines that I look forward to every year. A little bit of a surprise this year is the price moved down to $19.99, from $20.89 last year. Not a lot but movement in the right direction. You can also find it online for $19.99, so Costco …
Everybody loves Raymond; Vineyards that is, especially when Costco offers a huge special discount on their wines. The normal Costco price of $19.99 for this one is good, not great, but knocking an additional $8 off makes this an insane buy on a delicious Chardonnay. Granted this deal is good through 5/10/20, and I found …
