Hi everyone. This marks our first “News” post.
We want CostcoWineBlog.com to be your go to source for all the latest Costco wine info. We have an amazing reader base all around the world, and we constantly get emails about new wine finds, such as this Vacqueyras from Kirkland.
So we added a new menu item to the top navigation for News. Here we will post major Costco wine news as it comes in. These posts will also be included in our 2X a week newsletter that we encourage everyone to subscribe to. So please share any new info you have.
OK, now on to this exciting new addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio. And we drove to 3 locations around Atlanta looking for this tonight and came up empty handed. Hopefully we can taste it soon.
A Vacqueyras. Love it. Rhone wine. Kind of a sibling to Gigondas. Costco price we heard is around $11.49. We can’t wait to try.
We’re assuming it’s a GSM blend (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre).
Pop some info in the comments if you’ve tasted it. Cheers.

Maybe it’s just me but I wasn’t so keen on this wine.

It definitely improved with air, as they recommend on the bottle. Good to try, maybe next years will be better.

Tried it last night. I was expecting a bitter or grape juice taste. What you might expect for $10. But was pleasantly surprised. The first taste was a bit sweet. Let it breath and it calms down. I got the cherry/berry taste, and a dry finish. I could drink this everyday for $10, or even $20. Recommend you give it a try.

Tried the Vaqueyras, found it to be a full bodied red, pleasant on the palate especially with food. Can’t describe it more that to say I will buy more to consume with a nice lunch or dinner.
