We reviewed this wine last year, and it’s one that I was excited to see again. A $10 Carneros Pinot Noir is one that I’m not likely to pass up. I compared my photos from the last vintage to the 2017 label, and the two bottles are nearly identical. The only change that I could …

I’ve found a few new whites on my last couple trips to Costco, and love to put them in the mix as an alternative to Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays. Next up on the review list is a Gavi priced at $11.99. Albariño is one of my favorites. Here’s one that Costco is selling at a …
This wine tends to move quickly once it hits the aisles at Costco. This is not surprising considering it’s an $8.99 Provence Rose. These wines are almost always at least $12 per bottle. Apart from that, this wine is consistently approachable and a good value. The perfect light-salmon color is appropriate for Spring and all …
I know a lot of you have been waiting for the next vintage of the Kirkland Rioja to arrive in Costco stores, and for us to review it. This is always one of our most anticipated Kirkland offerings of the year, largely because of the ridiculously low price of only $6.99. At that price point, …
I thought this would be a fun bottle to try. I love both bubblies and wines from France’s Alsace region, which is located right on the border with Germany. To add a feather in the cap, this wine was also #71 on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 wines of 2018. They rated it 91 points. Costco …
Everyone loves a bargain, and that’s obviously a big reason we all love to shop at Costco. We’ve had a nice little run of inexpensive Costco wines lately that we’ve reviewed, and so I wanted to combine those, with some other Costco classic under $10 to arm you with a nice list of wines for …
That headline sounds pretty complicated, but it really shouldn’t be. Put simply, this is a $20 Argentinian red blend comprised of 60% Malbec, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Franc. And it’s really good. The first thing you notice with this one is the heft of the bottle, that seems to weigh about twice as much …
Yecla is a sometimes overlooked region in Southeastern Spain that consistently delivers good value priced wines, predominantly made up of the Monastrell grape (which is the ame as Mourvedre). But it’s an area that should certainly be on the radar of red wine fans looking for bang for their buck. This bottle is a perfect …
Another screaming buy for under $10, I was excited to dig into this wine. This is another one of those wines that I know I’ve read about somewhere, and made a mental note to remember it, so I would try it sometime. And that time is now. At $7.99 it’s a bargain; that’s off of …
I can’t remember where exactly, but I’ve heard this Black Tears Malbec from Tapiz discussed before and was always curious about it. I believe it might have be featured on some older podcasts I listened to, but can’t remember for sure. This is probably the most expensive bottle of Malbec I’ve bought, maybe ever. Costco’s …
Until I opened this bottle, I hadn’t tasted The Stump Jump Shiraz in a few years. I remember always having enjoyed it in the past, and was thrilled to see Costco bring it in at only $7.99 which is not only a great price (retail almost double that), but it’s a heck of a good …
So happy to see this bottle back in stock at Costco in the new ’17 vintage. The ’15 vintage was really amazing for only $12.99 and I gave it 89 points last year. The ’16 vintage scored huge among the critics so I’m bummed that one didn’t appear at my Costcos (Dunnuck 93; Wine Advocate …
Here’s a really interesting bottle that showed up in my Costco and caught my eye. It’s a wine from Spain’s premier Priorat region that is only $12.99 (most bottles from here are $30+). So I was a bit skeptical but wanted to test it so I could report back to you what I found. In …
What a steal for an excellent and perfectly balanced Russian River Chardonnay. I loved this bottle. It’s no surprise that Duckhorn is the brand behind it. Costco’s price is $17.99. Google it and it’s around $30 just about everywhere else (retail is $32). Combined with solid 90 point ratings from all the critics, this is …
The Kirkland Oakville Cabernet is always a bottle we look forward to trying every year. We’re coming right off the heels of reviewing the latest vintage of the Kirkland Rutherford Cabernet which is produced just up the road, and Erin went 89 points on that wine. Last year, I went 91 points for the Oakville …
