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 …
Duckhorn’s Decoy wines are usually a solid find, representing an entry into the winery at a price point well below their other bottles. Now, there’s a little sacrifice in quality as the top shelf Duckhorn wines have always impressed us. But when you’re looking for a good value buy from a known producer, the Decoy …
Nothing pairs with summer like a crisp and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, and that’s exactly what we have here. This is our first time tasting this wine so we didn’t know what to expect but it definitely met and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Only doing the research now after having already tasted and making our notes, …
We’re seeing quite a few new vintages of Kirkland wines hitting stores right now and we’re making our way through them as fast as we can to report our thoughts back to you. This one is a very welcome sight. As regular readers will remember, the Kirkland Sancerre was introduced for the first time last …
We’ve been enjoying the last string of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs we’ve bought at Costco. For a time I thought they were just too acidic and obvious, but lately I’m finding them a bit more interesting. We recently reviewed the Nautilus ($14, 88 points) and the Whitehaven (also $14, 89 points) that we found at …
This might not be the first bottle you gravitate to if you’re not familiar with it, or haven’t tasted many white Bordeaux, but white wine fans should take note. This is a fantastic wine at a great price. The retail price is around $19.99 and Costco is selling for $13.99; gotta love that. Critic scores …
Here’s a Sauvignon Blanc I’ve always been curious about. Key word on the label is “Rutherford” which fans of the Kirkland Rutherford Cabernet will be familiar with. It’s one of the top regions within Napa Valley, and a personal favorite. Provenance makes a delicious Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon that we’ve tasted and enjoyed; that one is …
It’s always exciting when there’s a new addition to the Kirkland Signature portfolio of wines, and we’ve seen a few good ones over the past 12 months. There was the new K Vine Kirkland wines (Chardonnay and Rosé) from Charles Smith, and the Kirkland Barolo that come to mind. This Sancerre is definitely on the …
