I'm really excited to introduce the official Costco Wine Blog discussion forums. This gives you, our readers, a place to go to discuss Costco wines, to share your latest finds and where you found them, to cover many many more wines than we ever could through the blog.
Nothing is changing as far as blog content goes. It's still coming to you every Wednesday and Saturday. But now we have a playground to really bolster the amount and relevancy of the content, as well as the chance to bring new voices and opinions to the mix.
I hope this helps you find, share and enjoy great wines in stores near you. I know not all of the wines we review appear in your local Costco stores. It's been a struggle since day one on the site. By collectively harnessing the power of the large community we have now built, I think we'll all learn a lot more about what Costco wines are out there, around the world, where, when, and for how much. Plus, you can share your tasting notes and thoughts directly with other readers.
The forums can be found here, and they are linked to from many areas of the site. Log in is required to keep the conversation among those who are truly interested in sharing ideas and helping one another. Like our email list, your info will never, ever be shared.
I hope this leads us to the next chapter for this website and provides tremendous value to you. Please let us know what you think.

Great job, Andrew! Thanks.

Glad you like it. Please consider this a soft launch as I work through adding more functionality. Should be fun to watch it grow.

You are a brave man, facilitating a forum (with all the mayhem that usually ensues)! Hopefully it will be a civil and constructive resource for us all.

I hope so too. We have a good community of people with the same goal of finding great wine buys at Costco so I’m optimistic that these forums will be beneficial to everyone.
The biggest challenge with this site is availability of wine at various Costcos around the country. There is only one way to work around it and that’s by crowdsourcing info from all of our readers which is the chief aim of the forums.
I guess we’ll see how it works out but so far it’s off to a good start.
