Obviously the name Phelps caught our attention with this bottle. And the price tag too at only $8.99. Online we’re seeing this bottle sell for up to $18 (Wine.com). Retail seems to be $15. And once we got tasting, the wine is pretty good, so $8.99 is a steal. The wine has pulled down a …

Here’s a new Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough that popped up in our Costco store that looked interesting. We noted in our recent review of the delicious Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker (a wine that surpassed expectations) that we hadn’t reviewed many of the New Zealand offerings arriving in Costco. On the heels of the …
We hate to admit it, but we kind of forgot about this wine until we saw it again on our most recent trip to Costco. It’s been three years since we last tasted, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we were pumped to see the new 2022 hit stores. Costco’s price has crept up just a …
It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Costco, and this one popped up on our last visit and was a wine that we had always wanted to try. It’s a collaboration between Sarah Jessica Parker and New Zealand winery Invivo. There is also a French Rose as part …
We don’t see too many Bordeaux blancs in the Costco wine aisles and it’s too bad because they are really fun whites, usually inexpensive, and perfect when the weather is super hot like it is right now across much of the country. Costco’s price was $14.99, which seems pretty good since it looks to be …
Finding this bottle at Costco helps close the story of the mystery Chablis we encountered a few weeks ago. In a rare mistake somewhere along the supply chain (and isolated to just our store we believe), bottles of the Simonnet Febvre Chablis were put in bins at Costco where this Sauvignon Blanc should have been. …
Chile isn’t always the first place you think of when looking for world class Sauvignon Blanc, but it will be higher on our list after tasting this one. Wow, this is a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc that caught us by surprise. The wine hails from the Limari Valley in Chile, located about 300 miles north of …
We love seeing new bottles from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars hit the shelves at Costco and this AVETA Sauvignon Blanc is one that we’ve never seen before, at least around the Atlanta area Costco stores we frequent. Previously, as far as white wines go from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, we’ve reviewed and enjoyed their Karia …
It was only a few months ago when we reviewed the 2020 vintage of this wine from the Duckhorn portfolio, so we were a little surprised to see this new one hit stores. As we’ve mentioned in the past, we find Duckhorn and their Decoy line (big fans of the Sonoma red blend) to consistently …
When we’re perusing the Costco wine aisles, there’s usually 3-4 bottles we’re on the lookout for, either reader recommendations, or Kirkland wines we expect to be dropping. In addition we’re always on the lookout for wines we’ve never seen carried at Costco before. Or at least bottles that haven’t appeared in the stores we frequent …
We’ve been on a bit of a Sauvignon Blanc kick lately and have found some good ones at Costco that we’ve posted about. This includes the La Crema Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma, and the Aresti Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. Here’s another Chilean one that we found that we’ve never tasted before. There’s not a lot …
La Crema wines seems like a Costco wine staple. We see their Chardonnay readily available on almost every visit. And the Pinot Noir on more occasions than not. As you can see in our past reviews, we’ve been fans of their wines as well, scoring the last vintages 89 and 90 points. This is the …
A few years back we found the Aresti Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva at Costco for $7.99. We noticed the high ratings and low price so couldn’t wait to get into it. Our verdict was much the same, and we rated it 88 points. Now, we have their Sauvignon Blanc that is also coming in at the …
We knew we had tried this bottle before because the label looked awfully familiar. But in searching past reviews we couldn’t find it which was odd. So we went deep into the historical pages and found it, in the 2015 vintage. The label looked the same but the producer changed from Olivier Larochette to Charles Debourges. The …
It’s been a little while since we tasted and reviewed the Napa Sauvignon Blanc from Charles Krug. The price has stayed the same at only $12.99, which combined with the quality of this juice, makes this a good value buy as we noted in our previous review. Retail price looks to be closer to $20 …
