Here’s a solid Costco wine find for all you Champagne fans out there. The discounted price until 11/21 is only $20.99, which is $6 off a regular price of $26.99. That puts this right in the same territory as the $20 Kirkland Champagne that we love so much. Online the retail price of this Sophie …
Here’s a nice find for all you bubbly fans out there. As long-time readers know, we are huge fans of French Cremants, and they pop up on occasion at Costco. Cremants are an affordable alternative to French Champagne and, in our opinion at least, they are more interesting than Prosecco or Cava. These Cremants can …
Every time I visit Costco this summer, I see more and more bubbly Rosé bottles gracing store shelves. We just reviewed the very tasty and affordable ($6.99) Kirkland Prosecco Rosé, which we recommend. On my last trip, this Cava Brut Rosé stood out for a couple of reasons. First, it was on an end cap …
This new addition to the Kirkland wine family started appearing in stores a couple weeks back, and finally hit my store in the Atlanta area. It was also featured in the latest issue of the Costco Connection magazine. A Prosecco Rosé almost seems like a no brainer given the wine community’s current love for bubbly …
It’s heatin’ up around the Atlanta area, and there are few things tastier on a hot day than a delicious brut rosé. We recently enjoyed the Gerard Bertrand An 825 Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose we found at Costco for $14.49. Also, the Lucien Albrecht Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rosé that is a few dollars more …
As we’ve been drinking more Champagne, I’ve been wanting to buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot to see how it stacks up. I’ve had a few bottles over the years and have always enjoyed them. This Champagne is widely available and almost always in stock, at least in the stores around the Atlanta area. We …
I almost passed this bottle up thinking it was the Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Cuvee that we reviewed last year, and really enjoyed. The similarities are uncanny: the price, the label, the varietal blend, the origin (both Limoux Brut Rosé); the ABV, but different vintages, 2017 vs 2018. But then I noticed this one was …
We drink a fair amount of bubbly wine at our house. It just goes with anything, any meal, anybody. Long time readers know that we love the Kirkland Champagne for $19.99. That’s real French Champagne at an almost unheard of price. We were excited to see another French bubbly hit our Costco stores, this time …
Here’s a fun bottle I was excited to see hit Costco shelves. Lucien Albrecht produces excellent wine and we really enjoyed the standard Cremant d’Alsace Brut that we tasted a couple years ago. Now we have the Brut Rosé at Costco with a special price of $16.99. The standard Brut, when it was around, was …
The holidays are upon us, and New Years is right around the corner, so it’s that time of the year when I know many people are thinking about stocking up on a few bubbly wines to celebrate. Costco is always a great place for sparkling wines. Granted the selection won’t be as broad as a …
These Proseccos from La Gioiosa are making a big entrance in Costco stores right now, and they are tasty and affordable. A couple weeks ago we reviewed the La Gioiosa Prosecco Rosé which was delicious for only $8.99. This non vintage DOC Prosecco is priced at $7.99, so $1 less than the rosé, and only …
Here’s an interesting wine that came our way, a Prosecco Rosé, which is something I’ve never tasted before and after poking around online, I learned this is a pretty recent addition to the wine world. As many of you know, Prosecco is made from the Glera grape, and what they did with the Prosecco Rosé …
I snapped a couple of these bottles up the instant I saw them. Even though this is a wine I’ve never tasted before, there are a lot of good things going on here. First, the producer, Gerard Bertrand, is one of my favorite French producers. They make a wide variety of wines from many different …
Hi everyone, this is an oldie but goodie, that’s relevant with the New Year coming up. I updated a few things throughout, and be sure to read until the end to learn how to easily become a Champagne sabering rock star this New Years. (Practice on the Kirkland Prosecco, work your way up to the …
There’s been a bit of a debate going on among readers about the new bottle design for the Kirkland Champagne. The new bottle is shorter and wider (pictured on the right above), and some people have found it to taste differently than the original one. So I thought it would be fun to go side …
