Here’s an interesting red blend from the Jumilla region of Spain. It was $9.99 and the Costco placard displayed a nice 93 point rating from Wine Spectator. I love Spanish wine, so why not give it a shot? The blend is 80% Monastrell, 15% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; retail price seems to be closer …
This one arrived a little early this year, at least for us around the Atlanta area, but I’ve heard from several readers who have found it near them too. Last year I didn’t see it appear until July. In our review of the 2015 vintage, we noted the $1 price jump from the 2014 vintage …
Finding and tasting Costco Riojas under $10 is one of my favorite parts of running this website. So often you hear people looking for “good buys under $10” or you see a catchy news headline “Sommeliers’ Top Picks Under $10.” And it makes sense, because there’s so much bad wine out there under $10, and …
Here’s a new arrival that caught our eye. This is an organically grown (and single vineyard I believe) Cabernet Sauvignon from the Valencia region on Spain’s east coast. It’s an area that doesn’t get quite as much attention as some of Spain’s other famed wine regions, but it produces several white and red grape varietals …
Fresh off the cusp of reviewing a great Costco Rioja find, the 2015 La Gitana Gold Rioja, we decided to also try this one, and see how it compared. There’s a lot of similarities and in the end, we discovered two amazing wines that we can’t recommend enough. Both wines are priced under $15 at …
It’s nice walking down the aisle and catching a glimpse of those signature blue and silver rings that grace the neck of the Kirkland Ribera del Duero. This is still a young addition in the Kirkland wine family, and it can prove to be fairly elusive too, as demonstrated by the fact that we either …
This is the best $12 bottle of wine I’ve had in some time. I almost didn’t buy this because the label just looked a little suspect. I’m not sure why (and it looks better in the picture below), it just came off to me visually as a cheap bottle. But this initial perception was way …
I’ve always been curious about this European wine box that first showed up last year near me, but seemed to sell out fairly fast (and before I had a chance to grab one). It’s back this year, at $29.99 which is the same price I believe as the prior year with a similar sampling of …
We are always on the lookout for bottles that have the special limited time Costco discount, taking even more off the already low price. In this case though, the discount was just the icing on the cake. This wine is so good, it’s a steal at the regular price of $14.99, which is still below …
This is a big time value buy at Costco right now for only $8.99. Online it looks like it sells closer to $15, but either way, it’s an excellent wine. Scoring it for $9 is a real treat for Costco shoppers. The wine hails from Jumilla which is a wine region on the Mediterranean coast …
The Kirkland Rioja is always a favorite, and this year the new vintage is arriving a little late, at least around the Atlanta area. Last year, we saw it hit stores in April, so we’ve been on the look out, and finally it’s here. Costco wine fans might notice a little change this year to …
Quarantine life lends itself to plenty of time for digging around the cellar to see if there’s anything interesting to get into. I have a stash of Kirkland bottles that I’ve enjoyed over the past 3-5 years that I wanted to try again after a little more time in the bottle and one of those …
A few readers have asked for us to post some new white wine reviews, which made me realize that it had been a little while since we last had. This time of the year, I just gravitate towards the reds, but I made a special point to try to find a good white wine to …
I know many of you, like me, are always looking for good, solid red wines from Costco for under $10, and here’s one to put on the top of your list. This is an excellent bottle for the price. Once again, Spain continues to prove itself as a hotbed for big time value, the regions …
Wine buyers who know about this wine and see it at their Costco are probably like me, and go on autopilot, feverishly shoveling these in their cart until they’ve reached their budget (or their spouse starts asking questions), only to put the bulk toilet paper back in the hopes to squeeze in one more. Or …
