You might not be able to find all of these, but what follows are some of our favorites from the past few months, ranked by our ratings from high …
Sauvignon Blanc
The 2014 vintage of this wine was exactly as expected – signature New Zealand citrus and grassiness with loads of acidity at a good price ($8.99, consistent with last year). My review of the 2013 vintage of this wine sums up my feelings this year too. These are nice wines, perfect for summer weather, but …
If you enjoy the grassy acidity of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, than here’s $7.99 well spent on your next trip to Costco. This wine is a Costco staple (in stock, most places, most of the time it seems) and the 2014 vintage is as fresh as could be, which is a trait I enjoy in …
At the end of every year we look back at the previous 12 months of reviews and assemble a list of the highest rated wines we enjoyed from Costco. But first let’s take a quick look back at 2014, which was another big year for the site. We moved to a new hosting platform and responsive design …
It’s always difficult to find the perfect Thanksgiving wine that everyone will unanimously agree pairs perfect with the hodge podge of food and flavors that are typically served on Thanksgiving tables around the country. I tend to opt for a variety of different wines, and enjoy tasting them all at the same time with the …
This is one of those insta-purchase Costco wines for me. I’m a big fan of Frog’s Leap wines, have visited and greatly enjoyed the winery, and am sitting on some nice Rutherford Cabs from them that are aging in the cellar. I’d had the 2013 Sauv Blanc at a dinner a few months back and …
Talk about a tangy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc…this wine takes it to new heights. This wine has a huge spicy, acidic finish, that I really enjoyed given the super hot Atlanta summer day on which I enjoyed it. But outside of an environment like that, it may be a little much for some wine fans. …
I was excited to find this bottle priced at $16.99 at Costco. At the time, I knew it was typically much more and after searching online I found the regular price tips closer to $26-$28 with a few online outlets going down to $20 [NOTE 7/24: we’ve been informed by readers that some Costco stores …
Since it’s right around mid-year, I wanted to take a minute to outline the wines that we’ve really enjoyed so far in 2014. Below is a list of wines that we scored 90 points or above, and that we highly recommend you keep an eye out for at Costco. Most of these will be gone, …
This Chilean bottle is definitely a different style of Sauvignon Blanc, a little more mineral and earthy than those you will find in other parts of the world. It took me a little while to warm up to it, and while it has a little unpleasantness toward the finish, the rest of the experience helps …
Here’s a nice inexpensive summer treat at Costco. The Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc is priced at $7.99 and it’s exactly what you expect and want from a New Zealand style Sauv Blanc – it’s packed with tarty citrus flavor, just perfect to enjoy outside on a hot summer day. Super clear on the pour, the nose …
I’m thrilled to see an influx of South African wines making their way into Costco stores, as it represents an exciting region to explore and one that is producing excellent wines for the money. This Sauvignon Blanc is a prime example, priced at $11.99 at my Costco; this wine is crisp, acidic, packed with great …
Time flies. It’s hard to believe we’re drinking 2013 wines already. The Brancott Sauvignon Blanc is consistently a good buy year after year for fans of New Zealand style whites and this year’s wine is right on par with past vintages. This 2013 bottle was priced at $8.99 at my Costco. There might be a …

Not a bad buy for only $9.99 at Costco. There are some aspects of this wine I found very pleasant, and it was a bit of a roller coaster since the wine changed quite a bit after a little air, and after warming up slightly from the (too cold) fridge temp.
I didn’t get a lot on the nose. There are slight floral aromas surrounded by a notable peach scent. The wine is a pale yellow in the glass. Light in body with flavors of citrus fruit, apple, peach and some grapefruity tart. Finish holds on to that acidity, more tart and wraps up rather quickly. In all, I really admire Bonterra’s organic growing practices and they produced a good bottle here for the money. This is a good one for summertime. CostcoWineBlog.com Rating: 86 Points |

Charles Krug is a good dependable name and I generally feel their wines deliver what you want for the price. This white was $12.99 at Costco and it continues to be a good match of quality to price.
Almost see through in the glass, this wine is packed with lemon, peach, apricot and grapefruit flavors, bright and not too sour or tarty. Nice through to the finish where the wine falls a little flat and disappears quickly after each sip. Still, not a bad buy, and it is a good versatile summer wine.
