I cannot recall coming across a South African wine in Costco prior to this one from Boschendal. I have definitely been asked if Costco carries South African wine, likely because most wine lovers know that some really excellent juice comes from this country. Needless to say, I was excited when I saw this. Some of […]
2015 Tenuta Valleselle Rovertondo Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore
First off, a big shout out to one of our readers, Richard S, who wrote in to alert us to this wine, dropping at Costco for only $13.79, from a retail price that I see around $20 online. After receiving his email I was heading for a little wine shopping and was pleasantly surprised to […]
2015 Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Chardonnay Alexander Valley
I was super surprised to see this Stonestreet Chardonnay wine arrive in the bins at my Costco and at the highly discounted price of $25.99. Since retail on this wine is closer to $40-$45 that's a steep Costco discount on a wine that I've had previously on two separate occasions, and absolutely loved it. This […]
2016 Marcelle de Changey Puligny-Montrachet
I had a few readers in the forums request reviews for Costco wines that are in the $30-$40 range, so although many of our reviews focus on good bargain finds under $20, I'm going to try to sprinkle a few more expensive wines in the mix now and then. This white Burgundy jumped out at me […]
2015 Chateau Cone Taillasson Sabourin Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux
Love, love, love finding these super inexpensive Bordeaux in the "cheap seats" as Erin likes to call them (the stacks of wine, not in the wooden boxes). While they generally don't make my taste buds explode in cosmic glory, they usually represent a super value buy, heavily discounted from their retail price, and the juice […]
2015 Two Angels Petite Sirah
I thought this Two Angles Petite Sirah would be a fun change of pace from the usual selection of reds we've been reviewing. This is a big, spicy red from Lake County, CA which is a little ways north of Napa, and slightly inland from the Pacific. The wines I've tasted from around Lake County […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Malbec Mendoza
Another new label for the Kirkland Malbec; here's the last one; I kind of like them both. I really just wish the juice inside would improve a bit though. This is one Kirkland wine offering that I've never really connected with as much as I hoped. This is also one of those bottles that's really […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
I thought this current vintage of the Kirkland Stags Leap Cab was slightly better than the last one we tasted which was the '14 vintage. Not sure what happened to the '15 but I certainly wouldn't have passed it up if it had made an appearance in a store near me. Looking back on these […]
2016 Sonoma Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
The Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay is a staple white that's readily available at many wine shops and seemingly every restaurant I've frequented lately, and I've always thought it was a strong value buy for California Chardonnay. At Costco, the price is a very respectable $20.49, which is a lot less than almost anywhere else I've seen, […]
2017 Prieure Saint Come Chablis
I'm typically a big fan of the Chablis I find at my Costcos, particularly this time of the year when it's hot out and a good clean Chardonnay really hits the spot. They usually come in at a reasonable price, like this bottle did at $15.99, and offer the quality of a bottle that costs […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
It's been a little while since we got our hands on one of the Kirkland Columbia Valley offerings from Washington State. The last one was this 2015 Cab-Merlot blend that we thought was pretty good, and before that we had to dig into the vaults to find this Columbia Valley Bordeaux blend we really enjoyed […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio Friuli
It's been quite a while since we last tasted the Kirkland Pinot Grigio. I heard from several readers that it may have been discontinued in their stores for a period of time. So it was kind of my radar and when I saw it in my Costco I decided to grab a bottle and get […]
2015 Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon
The Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon is a Costco staple. Every club that I've ever been to carries it. Some of them stock it in the wooden bins on what I like to call the “tables.” Other clubs prominently display pallets of it on their end caps. The price tends to always remain the same, hovering […]
2016 Moniker La Ribera Single Vineyard Chardonnay
This is a lovely wine that caught me off guard with its pleasantness because I really didn't know what to expect. The single vineyard designation caught my eye but I had never heard of the producer before, and generally don't go to Mendocino when I'm looking for Chardonnay value. But that's exactly what I found. […]
2015 Chateau La Tour de Mons Margaux
I'm always a little skeptical of these (rather) inexpensive bottles that are from premier regions where they should cost a lot more. It makes me think we're buying the 2nd and 3rd tier (or 4th tier) grapes from a good region, when we could get the 1st tier grapes from a slightly lesser region. And […]
2015 Kirkland Signature Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The Kirkland Alexander Valley Cabernet is typically one of my favorite Kirkland Cabs of the year, especially for the great price of $9.99 (last week we reviewed another Kirkland favorite, the Chateauneuf-du-pape that's worth a read too in case you missed it). I was reviewing my notes on the the 2014 vintage of this Alexander Valley […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
Finally, this bottle arrived at my Costco. I know several of you have found it already and posted a few things on the forums indicating potentially positive things about this year's vintage. The Kirkland Chateauneuf is always one of the wines I look forward to reviewing most every year, and this year it came with […]
2016 Viberti Barbera D'Alba
I love a good Barbera. This thin-skinned grape produces wines that, at best, are floral, elegant, and lingering. A less-desirable example, usually one-dimensional and fruity, is still highly enjoyable to drink. The best Barbera wines come from one of two areas in Piedmont. Wines from the Asti region tend to be the lighter, less tannic, […]
2016 Guillaume Gonnet Cotes du Rhone Le Reveur Rouge
Cotes du Rhone is an easy choice when you're looking for good value under $15, and frequently, as is the case here, you can find it for even less. This wine was $7.99 at my Costco, which is pretty crazy for a fairly nice, very drinkable and somewhat interesting red table wine. It pours pretty […]
2016 Newton Skyside Chardonnay
This Newton Chardonnay is a perfect example of the balance and elegance that can be found in Sonoma Chardonnays at a good price when they're done right. There's not too much oak, or butter. Rather, this wine tasted more Burgundian in style, more Chablis-like where the fruit really has a chance to shine through. We […]
2014 Marietta Christo Syrah Grenache Petite Sirah Blend
It was quite the surprise running into this bottle, part of a small display tucked into the "cheap seats" (wines stacked in the aisles, not the wooden boxes). I first tried this wine just a a few months ago when it popped up at Cost Plus World Market for a heavy discount (can't remember what […]
2016 Ruffino Il Ducale Toscana
I know many of you are looking for good, low priced value buys, so that's why I chose to sample this "Il Ducale" Super Tuscan from Ruffino that was only $12.99 at my Costco. I too like to find good versatile mid week drinkers to enjoy with dinner that don't break the bank, and this […]
2016 Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay
I really like this wine. Year in and year out, it just always seems to hit me right. Granted part of that feeling is likely because it's summertime, it's hot, and there's nothing like a crisp, refreshing, easy drinking white to sip on by the pool. And that's how we drank this bottle. The wine […]
2016 Domaine Le Clos Noly Pouilly-Fuisse Courtelong
Pouilly-Fuisse wines are synonymous with good value white Burgundy. We just reviewed the 2014 Domaine Auvigue Solutre, which was fantastic and now we've seen another one arrive in Costco for $16.79 from Domaine Le Clos Noly. Pouilly-Fuisse is in the Maconnais subregion of Burgundy, which is an area that has been mentioned frequently in wine articles […]
2014 Two Hands Bellas Garden Shiraz Barossa Valley
Once in a while I like to swim a little further upstream and explore some higher priced wines like this one that clocked in at $45.99 at my Costco. I wanted something outside of Cabernet from Napa or Bordeaux, and was hoping to find a different varietal from somewhere else in the world of wine. So […]
2014 Bodega Los Toneles Tonel 46 Reserva Malbec
I like that you can typically score decent Malbec buys around $10, especially at Costco, and this bottle lines up nicely in that segment for only $10.99. It didn't knock my socks off, but the more I dug in, I found a really pleasant and easy drinking wine that is a solid buy and good value. […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay
Although I usually expect more from the Kirkland Russian River Valley Chardonnay offerings, I'm always excited to see them arrive in stores, and I'm anxious to try the new vintages. Having reviewed the prior vintage in December of last year, I thought this one might arrive a little later in the year. But it's here […]
2016 Clos du Gaimont Vouvray
I love Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley and that's exactly what you get with a bottle of Vouvray. It's not a bottle you see everyday, especially at Costco, but I was looking forward to digging in to see what was inside. This bottle in particular turned out to be a great representation of the […]
2016 Matua Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
This wine caught my eye because of the great price and 90 Point Wine Spectator rating. It appeared in select Costco clubs a couple of weeks ago featured at a price that is easily a few dollars less than most other retailers currently offer. This is a great time of year for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. […]
2015 Casa Santos Lima Lisboa Colossal Reserva
After Spain, Portuguese red wines are one of my top go-to areas and we just don't see enough of them at Costco, so this was a welcome site, especially at only $7.99. I was also intrigued to learn that this wine was ranked #60 on Wine Spectator's list of the Top 100 of 2017. That's a good […]
2015 Hugel Classic Riesling Alsace
I'm always excited to see Riesling from German or France pop up at Costco. It just doesn't happen enough and it's usually a nice treat and welcome change of pace from the plethora of Chardonnay that seems to grace the majority of Costco white wine shelves. This wine was a little on the pricey side […]
2016 Long Meadow Ranch Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc
So it's a hot Atlanta day and I'm by a pool with friends who are mostly drinking Creature Comforts and other GA- based craft beers, but today, like many days, I'm sipping on white wine, and a good one at that. It is the Long Meadow Ranch Sauvignon Blanc from Rutherford. At $15.99 at my […]
2014 Villa Cerna Primocolle Chianti Classico
In my opinion, Chianti Classico is one of the top places to go in the wine world now for consistent high quality wines at great prices. This wine was $14.99 at my Costco, and it drinks like it cost twice as much. A quick FYI - Chianti Classico is not just a classic version of […]
2013 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva
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 […]
2014 Silver Palm Cabernet Sauvignon
I've had a handful of readers write to me about the Silver Palm Cabernet, suggesting we try it, so on a recent trip I was fortunate enough to come across it and I dropped it in the cart. We just reviewed another, semi-similar Cabernet from Justin that we enjoyed. That wine was great, as Justin […]
2016 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon
Justin is a classic Paso Robles Cabernet that seems to regularly be in stock at Costcos near me in the Atlanta area. Costco's price at $19.99 is just ok, as it's around the $20 mark most places with a few creeping up closer to $25, like Wine.com. I gravitate to this wine (and Cabs from […]
2016 Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz
As I've said before, I am not the biggest fan of Australian Shiraz, but that's starting to change when I find bottles like Torbreck Shiraz from Australia's Barossa Valley priced under $20. This is a unique wine that I couldn't stop smelling and sipping trying to put it all together, which I'm still not sure […]
2014 Domaine Auvigue Pouilly-Fuisse Solutre
Here's another White Burgundy hitting my Costco shelves for $17.99 that I was curious to try. We recently reviewed the 2015 Joseph Drouhin Saint Veran which was right next to this bottle in the bins, and thought it was a great buy at only $16. While this Pouilly-Fuisse is similar in price and style, we […]
2015 Two Range Napa Valley Red Wine
The interesting label on this wine caught my eye. It's a large number “2” that appears to have been cut in half in an abstract way. I was also attracted to the words “Napa Valley Red Wine,” but it was the 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast shelf-talker that sold me in the end (as well […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Cotes de Provence Rose
Ok, I know it's Monday and the next review should technically not come out until Wednesday, but we had to get this one in your hands right away based on how fast this wine sold out last year. We could only be talking about the Kirkland Cotes de Provence Rose that is hitting stores right now […]
