It’s been five years since we’ve seen this wine grace Costco shelves, and it’s really nice to see it back again. We don’t think we’ve spent more on a single bottle of Malbec since the last time we bought this one, which was the 2013 vintage that we rated a solid 93 points. Most Malbec …

This is the second year in a row that the Kirkland Barolo is arriving in the June / July timeframe. For the first few years of its existence, it hit stores in the first quarter of the year. So we would get a little nervous when it didn’t show up. Regardless, we’re happy to see …
Back again, and we say thank you. This Suscol Vineyard Cabernet from the Kirkland label is a relatively new wine in the Kirkland portfolio, but one that we’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes these special wines will fizzle out after a few vintages, so it’s nice to see this one back in stock, and after tasting this …
One of our favorite Kirkland wines is hitting shelves earlier than ever. The last vintage appeared at the end of May which was a month earlier than the vintage before that. And we’ll take it. The Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is always a fun one to explore, and this vintage lands among the highest rated …
Absolute deliciousness from this red blend from Portugal. Regular readers know we love the quality and value you can find in Portuguese wines today, and we are always hoping to see more of them at Costco. We were introduced to this bottle from an importer / distributor we’ve met through this site. We typically don’t …
It’s always nice to find new bottles of Sancerre arriving at Costco, especially as the much-loved Kirkland Sancerre seems to now be gone or near gone at most places we’ve seen. This bottle is a couple bucks more but well worth it for Sancerre fans. And Costco’s $21.99 price tag represents a nice discount compared to …
Regular readers have heard us ask for new grapes and regions to hit Costco shelves, and here’s exactly what we’re looking for. Aglianico is a key grape varietal in southern Italy that is starting to get the attention it deserves in the US now at wine shops and restaurants. We’re seeing it way more now than …
We’ve never tasted this one before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but a $12 Rioja Reserva with seven years of age on it at Costco, needed to be checked out. And glad we did. This is a stunning wine at a ridiculously low price. Online we see it going for as high as $42. …
Very nice to see this one make an appearance in Costco for its third year in a row. Long time readers know we adore this wine, going 95 points on the 2019 vintage, and another 95 points on the 2020 vintage. We are seeing a small $1 price increase, but Costco’s price still remains well …
A few weeks back we reviewed the Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel, and we mentioned how much we’d love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. And then bam, look what shows up at our Costco shortly after. Ask and you shall receive. We should have asked for a lower price while we …
What a surprise seeing this bottle show up at Costco. This is from Duckhorn’s WA state property at Red Mountain, and long time readers will know we love these wines. Bang for the buck they are blazing a new path forward for great juice in the US right now. We’re getting a pretty buy on …
We love finding new wines from new producers in the Pinot section, and here is an interesting one that caught our eye. This is from Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains, southwest of Portland, near the mecca of Oregon Pinot. And we’re big fans of this area, not only because we are UO Duck alum, but the Pinot …
It’s always an exciting day when the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab hits stores, and we’ll tell you right off the bat, this is a vintage not to be missed. Despite all the inflationary pressures out there, the price on this wine remains $19.99, which is absolutely amazing for an Oakville wine, and …
This popular Kirkland wine usually appears in Q4, so we were a little late finding it around us, although we did hear from several readers who found it last month. But here it is, and it’s back with the same $19.99 price tag we love. You just can’t beat scoring a good Brunello at that …
This is quite the find in the Costco wine aisle, and just what we are looking for when picking wines to review for this site. Here’s a Gran Reserva Rioja with nine years of age built in, and 94 points from Wine Enthusiast for $18.99. And it was amazing. Gran Reserva is the highest designation …
