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 …
Rosé
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 …
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 …
Rosé season is upon us. If you didn’t serve a bottle with your Easter Sunday Supper, perhaps you will on Mother’s Day. For me, rosé “season” is year-round, and I always have at least one bottle chilling in my ‘fridge. It’s the perfect wine to serve with appetizers and salads, or while you wait for …
Chinon bottles are always a pleasant change of pace. These wines are predominantly made with Cabernet Franc, although a small percentage can be allotted to Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s usually not a lot of verbiage on the bottle to identify the wines, which likely deters many people from venturing forth, and it’s unfortunate because Chinon wines are quite lovely, …
I’ve been wanting to try this wine for a while. A friend of mine always recommends it and Costco carries it for a great price when compared to other retailers. Also, Napa Valley had great growing seasons in 2013 & 2014, and both vintages of this wine are available currently. The ’13s are a little …
I love a good red Bordeaux. These wines tend to really express the area in which the grapes are grown- they have a strong essence of “terrior,” if you will. The gravel and stone top soil in Pessac-Leognan is well-suited for Cabernet Sauvignon, and so red wines from here are predominantly Cabernet-based and with lots …
We cannot technically call this wine “champagne.” Since it’s from Jura, France, we are not allowed to confuse this wine with its cousin in Champagne. That’s the rule. This being said, if I were to bring this to a New Year’s Eve party, I would certainly announce to everyone in the room that I’ve brought …
This was a little bit of an impulse purchase, as I was leaving the wine aisle, and I just thought this looked like a fun summer treat. So we cracked it outside tonight on a hot night, leaving the bottle in a jug of cold water, and it was just what I was hoping for …
Regardless of how you’re spending this Memorial Day weekend, whether you’re boating, camping, picnicking, hiking, grilling or just sitting around in the backyard, if you’re a reader of this site then a glass of wine is also likely somewhere in those plans. So I wanted to list a few good, summery, warm weather wines that …
I finally found it at my Costco – the Kirkland Rioja that so many readers have been raving about. I’m a little late to the ball game on this one, and several readers have posted tasting notes on this wine in the comments sections of our other reviews. And I’m thrilled to finally be able …
This is a fun find at Costco for $7.99. It’s a nice summer bubbly, more on the dry end, perfect for before or after a meal. And it’s a much more affordable option compared to pricey Champagne, which I still love, just can’t afford all the time. It’s nice to substitute a bottle like this or …
