I'm going to continue grabbing different Pinot Noirs as I started doing over the past few months. This La Crema Pinot is a Costco staple and at least around the Atlanta area is pretty widely available. I hope that you are able to find it as it turned out to be a delicious wine. La […]
2016 Jax Vineyards Y3 Chardonnay
I found another interesting Chardonnay to try on my last visit to Costco. Interesting in that it's highly rated, highly discounted in price, and also a 2016 vintage which I'm surprised is still lingering around. It's similar to the 2016 Sterling Chardonnay we reviewed last week. I guess the distributors need to move these wines. […]
2016 Seghesio Defiant Red Blend
Here's a fun find that I wanted to get up quick due to what could be a huge limited discount. Although you will see in the photos that follow, that Costco may adopt the sales price as the regular price as they sometimes too (and I think we caught them showing their hand this time, […]
2018 Alamos Malbec Mendoza
Just like we tried to find an alternative to the Kirkland Rose, today we're going to taste what could be a good alternative to the always enjoyable, ridiculously low priced, and reader favorite Kirkland Malbec. Costco's price of $7 on the Kirkland Malbec makes it almost untouchable, but this Alamos Malbec comes close at a […]
2016 Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Chardonnay
I'm always a sucker when I see a good limited time discount on Costco's wine. You figure generally the bottles are already priced 10-20% lower than most other outlets, so when you take a bit more off the price, the deals just get that much sweeter. An almost $5 discount (price valid until 8/2 at […]
2019 Ame du Vin Cotes de Provence Rose
As far as summertime Rosé goes, the Kirkland Cotes de Provence Rosé for $10 remains my top choice and I've still seen a few cases of it lingering around in Costco stores around the Atlanta area which is a surprise. It's typically one of the fastest moving Kirkland bottles of the year. I thought it […]
2018 Kirkland Signature Carneros Pinot Noir
It's always nice to see the Kirkland Carneros Pinot arrive in Costco stores, and most importantly, to see the price tag continue to stay at $9.99, which is almost impossible to match for other wines from this premier region. We've always really enjoyed this Kirkland offering, rating the 2016 vintage 89 points, and the 2017 […]
2015 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva
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 […]
2018 Cloudline Pinot Noir
Next up is another Pinot Noir, and this is one that I had high hopes for. I've seen this bottle at Costco before, but it wasn't until I turned it over and read the back label that I realized this wine is produced by the Drouhin family, known for superior Oregon and French Pinot. Costco's […]
2018 Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay Sonoma
I hold a special place in my wine drinking history for Ferrari-Carano wines. Early on, when I was just starting out, it seemed like I would gravitate towards their wines when I wanted something that was "a little step up." Plus the name is cool and easy to say; the wines are generally pretty solid […]
2017 RouteStock 116 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
I'm continuing to taste through some of these Costco Pinot Noirs that I'm finding to hit the spot on warm Atlanta summer evenings. I'm still enjoying plenty of Rose and sparkling wines too this summer, but I'm on a bit of a mission to find a good dependable and affordably priced Costco Pinot. Our recent […]
2018 Precision Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
I just found this one last night at an Atlanta area Costco, and given the big limited time discount, I wanted to get it up on the site right away. Online this bottle seems to go for around $22-$23, so in line with Costco's standard price, but when you add the hefty $9.50 discount, it […]
2018 Baileyana Firepeak Pinot Noir
The Baileyana Firepeak Pinot has historically been a favorite among our readers, who first turned us on to the wine about three years ago. I've seen a couple more vintages appear in Costco stores around the Atlanta area, and finally got around to purchasing this new 2018 vintage so we could taste and review it […]
2016 Pellegrini Chardonnay Russian River Valley
It's starting to feel like summer around the Atlanta area, and that's when white wine hits the spot for me. I haven't found many interesting whites though at the Costcos around us yet. I'm hoping for some Albarino, German Riesling, Vinho Verde, Vermentino, Arneis, or even whites from anywhere in France besides the obvious spots. […]
2018 Daou Chardonnay Paso Robles
We've tasted quite a few good, affordably priced wines from Paso Robles lately. The Justin Cabernet is always a favorite. And we really enjoyed the latest vintage of the Daou Cabernet, which made it even more fun to find the Daou Chardonnay show up at Costco for $14.99. I've heard from quite a few readers […]
2017 Gerard Bertrand Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose
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 […]
2018 Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay Sonoma
Here comes the latest version of the Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay, just in time for summer. This wine has been hit or miss for us over the years, but one thing that remains consistent is the price, which is again only $12.99. For Chardonnay from this premier region of Sonoma, $13 a bottle is […]
2018 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
Look what's back, the Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is finally making an appearance after a long hiatus. The last vintage of this to hit Costco stores was the 2016 and it was available almost exactly two years ago. And there are a few important things to note about this new bottle. First, is the change […]
2018 Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc
It's officially Sauvignon Blanc season, and it's a varietal that can really vary in style depending on where it originates in the world. Some love the grassy New Zealand SBs; others like more of the finesse of a Sancerre. Still others love them from Napa. Today we're going to go South to explore a Chilean […]
2018 Cline Sonoma Pinot Noir
It is really hard to find decent Pinot Noir around $10. We've found a few at Costco over the years. The Firesteed Pinot is one that always comes to mind and one that pops up occasionally at Costco for only $10. I've seen this Westmount bottle back in stock too, and we thought it was […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio Friuli
This is always a hard wine for me to peg down. Some years I like it a lot more than others, and I'm starting to think that it might be situational. It is a wine with an intended purpose - hot summer weather - and when it is consumed in that environment, it's a treat. […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose
I finally found it and there was a whole corner of it still left - the Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose, which might be the fastest selling Kirkland wine of the bunch. This is going to move fast so if you see it, buy it. The reason being is that this is consistently high […]
2017 Ferrari-Carano Siena Red Blend
This is an interesting wine and a good choice when you want something a little different. It's "kind of" an Italian style red because the blend is led by Sangiovese, but it's also very new world in how the wine tastes. And I would say it will be more satisfying to the new world drinker, […]
2017 Erath Pinot Noir
This is the season when I frequently find myself at the crossroads of figuring out if I want to drink a red or a white wine. If the sun's out, it's white. Once it dips, it's red. Or rosé if you're in between. And then add some food to the mix and it gets even […]
New and Updated Book DECODING FRENCH WINE - available now
"Decoding French Wine: A Beginner’s Guide to Enjoying the Fruits of the French Terroir" was the first book that I wrote back in 2012. And it was far from perfect, and maybe distant from good but it was an invaluable learning experience. I gave the book a small refresh a few years after publishing, but […]
2017 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
We just reviewed the Daou Cabernet, also from Paso Robles and loved it, awarding the wine 90 points, and a spot on our Top Picks list. Costco brought that one in around the same price point as this Justin bottle, so we have two very solid offerings from Paso worth exploring in stores right now. […]
2018 Louis Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse
I love it when we get a nice string of wines that all hit our Top Picks list. It doesn't happen that often since we really try to reserve this list for the best Costco wines we find, and rate 90+ points. But when it does, it makes this job a lot more fun. We […]
2017 Foxglove Chardonnay Central Coast
The Foxglove Chardonnay is one of those wines that you frequently see listed in write ups with headlines like "Best summer white wine buys," or "Best whites under $15." That was how I first learned about it. I can't remember the list that I read a couple years ago, but I remember seeking this wine […]
Cellar Series: 2011 Kirkland Ribera del Duero Gran Reserva
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 […]
2018 Daou Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
When it comes to wines from the U.S. outside of Napa and Sonoma, I've said before I'm really enjoying a lot of reds from WA State, and I am finding them to be good values. Oregon of course, New York's Finger Lakes and I think Virginia is an up and comer. Paso Robles is another […]
2017 Seghesio Zinfandel
The Seghesio Zinfandel is one of those Costco staple wines that I look forward to every year. A little bit of a surprise this year is the price moved down to $19.99, from $20.89 last year. Not a lot but movement in the right direction. You can also find it online for $19.99, so Costco […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva
We always love to see the newest vintage of this Kirkland classic arrive in warehouses. Ironically, just a few months ago we saw an unexpected restock of the 2015 vintage in stores around the Atlanta area, which disappeared pretty fast. It goes to show, you just never know what you will find at Costco. Good […]
2017 Raymond Chardonnay Reserve Selection
Everybody loves Raymond; Vineyards that is, especially when Costco offers a huge special discount on their wines. The normal Costco price of $19.99 for this one is good, not great, but knocking an additional $8 off makes this an insane buy on a delicious Chardonnay. Granted this deal is good through 5/10/20, and I found […]
2018 Owen Roe Sinister Hand
Here's something a little different that I'm glad we were able to get into. This is a Washington State red blend consisting of your standard Rhone varietals. The make up is 55% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre and 9% Cinsaut. I've been on a bit of a Washington State wine kick this past year. I […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
It's been a really long time since we last reviewed the Kirkland Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc. It was actually a little over four years ago, with this review of the 2014 vintage. One thing to note from the current vintages compared to the past, is that the price actually went down to $6.99, from $7.99, […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel
Here's a perfect spring wine, especially if you're stuck at home and plan on firing up the grill. This bottle is perfect to pair with grilled meats, BBQ ribs, pulled pork, etc. We enjoyed it with a nice pork tenderloin on the Big Green Egg. It's been a little while since we reviewed this bottle, […]
2018 Prieure Saint Come Chablis
I was thrilled to find the latest vintage of this Chablis on my last Costco trip. We reviewed the prior vintage some time ago and really enjoyed it, giving it a solid 88 points. I have similar tasting notes on the current vintage that I was happy to see come in at $14.99, which is […]
2018 Est 75 Cabernet Sauvignon
This is always a welcome sight in the Costco wine aisles as it has consistently proven to be a very nice California Cabernet for a reasonable price. I'm also happy to see it arrive at the same price as last year, $13.99 which is a healthy discount to most other outlets that sell this wine […]
2015 Castello di Albola Chianti Classico
Editor's Note: Obviously, these are crazy times to be shopping at Costco, and every trip means braving long lines like we've never seen before. I've made a few trips to purchase wine (and other staples) but depending on how long this situation remains we might not be able to acquire wine regularly to maintain our […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Right on the heels of the new Kirkland Barolo that we just tasted and really enjoyed, we are lucky enough to have Costco also grace us with a classic Kirkland favorite, the Oakville Cabernet. Costco's Kirkland label produces a number of Cabernet from Napa including a Rutherford, a Napa Valley blend, and a Stags Leap, […]
