As far as summertime Rosé goes, the Kirkland Cotes de Provence Rosé for $10 remains my top choice and I’ve still seen a few cases of it lingering around in Costco stores around the Atlanta area which is a surprise. It’s typically one of the fastest moving Kirkland bottles of the year. I thought it …
I snapped a couple of these bottles up the instant I saw them. Even though this is a wine I’ve never tasted before, there are a lot of good things going on here. First, the producer, Gerard Bertrand, is one of my favorite French producers. They make a wide variety of wines from many different …
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 …
It’s been just over three years since we last reviewed the Chandon Brut Rose, which seems to be a staple in Costco stores around this time, at least in the stores we frequent in the Atlanta area. I actually wrote this review without reading my prior notes, and it’s just ironic that they are very …
This was the only Rose at my Costco on the day I was there that I hadn’t tasted before, so I figured I’d give it a shot. And I’m glad that I did and have the chance to report back to all of you. This wine is absolutely delicious and completely caught me off guard. …
I just picked this one up the other day and wanted to get the review out as soon as possible. This Rosé has a retail price around $20, and Costco’s standard price was $15.69, which is pretty good and in that 20% off retail range like many of Costco’s wines. But it has a special …
Here’s a bottle that’s perfect for summer drinking on a hot day, particularly around a pool or at the beach, and Costco’s price is right. This French Rosé is $14.99 for the big 1.5L bottle. That’s a lot of Rosé, but if you’re like me it has a tendency to go down pretty fast when …
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 …
At the end of last year, we did a feature story where we blind tasted three Pinot Noirs from Willamette Valley Vineyards, all of which are available at select Costco stores. And we really enjoyed them. Next up is their Rosé which is made from Whole Cluster Pinot Noir. Given their expertise in crafting Pinot …
I cannot recall coming across a South African wine in Costco prior to this one from Boschendal. I have definitely been asked if Costco carries South African wine, likely because most wine lovers know that some really excellent juice comes from this country. Needless to say, I was excited when I saw this. Some of …
Ok, I know it’s Monday and the next review should technically not come out until Wednesday, but we had to get this one in your hands right away based on how fast this wine sold out last year. We could only be talking about the Kirkland Cotes de Provence Rose that is hitting stores right now …
Here’s a fun set of wines that you don’t see every day packaged up in a nice suitcase with detailed notes on every wine for only $49.99 at Costco right now. I’m told this set is primarily in California Costco stores but keep an eye out for it elsewhere along with other California region specific …
It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines that we think will pair nicely with the Thanksgiving holiday. This year’s list is compiled from wines available right now at the Costco in Irvine, CA. We can’t guarantee that all of these same wines will be in your local warehouse, but we hope that …
We reviewed this wine a couple of years ago, but since 1.5 liter bottles recently arrived in select Costco stores, I thought that I would revisit it with fresh eyes as we approach the holidays. 1.5L bottles, otherwise known as “magnums” are good to serve in a group setting since each bottle yields around eight …
This is a lovely Cotes de Provence Rose for only $9.99. The blend is 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, so it has a little pepper and spice, which I really enjoy. The wine pours a nice salmon color and kicks off a little of that pepper on the nose. In the mouth though is …
