This wine showed up in the wood bins at select Costco clubs a few weeks ago. There isn’t a whole lot of this wine available on account of it being a single vineyard, smaller production offering from this winery. Tapiz is Spanish for “tapestry,” and this winery is so-named for the efforts of winemakers Fabian …

Happy to see the ’16 of this one arrive in stores since historically the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages appears to have skipped a few vintages of the years, which I documented in this review of the 2015 vintage. It also arrives right on the heels of another favorite Kirkland wine, but perhaps most importantly, …
Mayacamas is a special vineyard. It’s high on top of Mount Veeder on the western side of the Napa Valley. I was lucky enough to experience a private tour and tasting and it blew me away. Beyond the vast acres of vineyards throughout the property, the vibe is casual and low key. The winery isn’t …
I was first alerted to this exciting new arrival by a reader in Maryland last week, but a subsequent trip to Costcos near me turned up dry. This is the first Gran Reserva Ribera del Duero wine we’ve seen from Kirkland so I was the hunt, and finally found it last night. On top of …
You really enjoyed our recent round up of red wines to look for in your warehouse right now, so we thought we’d follow that up with a quick list of whites, most of which have been spotted at Costco stores around the Atlanta area, but we hope you’re able to find a few near you …
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano bottles are ones that I’m always on the lookout for because they consistently deliver quality at a low price. This one is a perfect example. These wines are often made of a blend, predominantly Sangiovese (in this case it’s 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo), so you want to be sure not …
It’s been a little while since we published a roundup story around some wine picks that might be available in your warehouse right now. So I took a day and went to a handful of Costco stores around the Atlanta area to compile this list of wines, many of which we’ve reviewed, and others that …
I like my big cabs, even in the middle of summer. I like my little cabs too, and I’m finding more and more that the quality of these wines are increasing as new & different winemaking techniques are regularly being employed. This wine recently hit a few of the Costco clubs that I frequent, and …
I recently had the pleasure to sit down with a regional manager and representative of Honig Vineyard and Winery to taste a few of the winery’s current releases. While I enjoyed every wine that I tasted, I will focus on the Napa Valley Cabernet for the purpose of this review since it is the offering …
Alright, so I’ve had this bottle for a while. I meant to review it shortly after I first bought it, but alas- it was overlooked in the sea of Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs that I’ve got stacked on the fourth shelf of my refrigerator. Be on the lookout for a comparative review of those in the …
Having made a goal to explore new white wines this year, one area I’ve been avoiding is Sauvignon Blanc, which is a varietal I feel I got my fill of last summer. However, when we’re talking French Sauvignon Blanc, especially from Sancerre which lies in the eastern part of the Loire Valley, Sauvignon Blanc takes …
I’ve tasted three or four past vintages of this wine, and this one might be my favorite. At only $12.99 at Costco, which is a few bucks less than I’ve seen anywhere else, this is an insanely good buy for people who like their reds big and rich, but nicely balanced. Since I’ve been working …
This is a wine that I have seen at Costco stores near me for some time, and I just have never pulled the trigger, but now I’m glad I finally did. The trigger was one of you, a Costco wine customer who drove his cart up when I was browsing the wine aisle, and popped …
I recently reviewed an unoaked Chardonnay from Tuscany that I was at first excited about but then ultimately unimpressed with. Costco has been getting some interesting Italian red blends this year, mostly from Tuscany (Super Tuscans), and mostly good value wines. When I came across this 2014 blend from Umbria for $7.49, I knew I …
I caught wind from a Twitter fan that this wine had hit stores around the Southeast, and I happened to be on my way to Costco shortly after. I found it for $17.99, and I have to say, it’s one of the best Pinots in this price range that I’ve had in quite a while. …
