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 …
This is an interesting bottle that caught my eye. It’s a Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon from Valencia, Spain, made from organic grapes, it’s a 2014 vintage so it has a couple years in the bottle, with a 93 point Wine Enthusiast score and the price was right at $9.99. I did a quick Google search to …
This is definitely not a wine for everyone, but if you like a little age on your reds, it’s nice to run into a decade old wine ready to drink right now, with no cellaring necessary. That’s the case with this 2009 Gran Reserva Rioja. The key here is to give the wine some time …
I’ve found a few new whites on my last couple trips to Costco, and love to put them in the mix as an alternative to Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays. Next up on the review list is a Gavi priced at $11.99. Albariño is one of my favorites. Here’s one that Costco is selling at a …
I know a lot of you have been waiting for the next vintage of the Kirkland Rioja to arrive in Costco stores, and for us to review it. This is always one of our most anticipated Kirkland offerings of the year, largely because of the ridiculously low price of only $6.99. At that price point, …
Yecla is a sometimes overlooked region in Southeastern Spain that consistently delivers good value priced wines, predominantly made up of the Monastrell grape (which is the ame as Mourvedre). But it’s an area that should certainly be on the radar of red wine fans looking for bang for their buck. This bottle is a perfect …
Here’s a really interesting bottle that showed up in my Costco and caught my eye. It’s a wine from Spain’s premier Priorat region that is only $12.99 (most bottles from here are $30+). So I was a bit skeptical but wanted to test it so I could report back to you what I found. In …
It’s finally here. We’ve been working on this one for a while now and I’m super pumped to finally put it out in the world and be able to share it with you. Our new book “Decoding Spanish Wine: A Beginner’s Guide to the High Value, World Class Wines of Spain” is now available in …
This is one of those staple wines that are consistent year to year, and typically bring in strong ratings from critics each vintage while still maintaining a fair price. I wish more wines fit this bill. Costco’s price was $12.99 which is just ok. I found it at Total Wine for the same price, and …
We’ve been hoping the Kirkland Ribera del Duero would hit stores soon, and what a nice little holiday treat, just like it was last year with the 2011 vintage. Look for the blue striped bands on the bottle’s neck and you’ll have no problem picking this one of the sea of Costco wines. This marks …
Long time readers will know that I love my Ribera del Duero wines, so when I see a new one, like the 12 Linajes, arrive in my Costco stores, it’s almost a no brainer. I can’t think of a time in recent years when the Ribera wines at Costco didn’t deliver a lot of bang …
Love seeing the new 2013 vintage of this one arrive at Costco and I’ve had quite a few readers write to us asking if it was around. Yes, it is, and the remarkably low price of $6.99 is carried over once again. For $6.99 there are few bottles of wine that are as drinkable as …
Here’s another Spanish wine gem that I scored at my Costco for $21.99. I say ‘another’ because there seems to be a stream of awesome bottles from Ribera, Toro and Rioja in that sweet spot of $15-$25 that I have found to generally be super strong buys. Our latest reviews of this Toro wine and …
Almost instinctively, I will purchase new wines that I find from Spain’s Toro region because they are some of the best buys in the wine world today. So obviously, I love when they pop up at Costco. This bottle was of particular interest, initially due to its massive weight in the hand but also for …
