We always look forward to new Kirkland Signature wines, and I especially get excited when an appellation-specific one arrives. I’ll admit that I sometimes get them confused and fail to realize when a new edition has appeared. The labels tend to be similar, and there are more than a few from Napa Valley alone. This […]
2017 Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris and Riesling
Today we're going to take a look at two white wines from Willamette Valley Vineyards that I decided to package together because they're kind of similar, but not really; but regardless, they make a nice little duo depending on what style you prefer; so let's break them down. 2017 Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris We'll […]
2014 Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
This is an absolute screaming buy if you're able to find it at your Costco. We posted about the big bottles arriving in Nov for the holidays. At that time, this bottle was priced at $100. Today it can be had for half that. The price on the standard size Mondavi Oakville at Wine.com is […]
2016 Barville Cotes du Rhone
This wine jumped out at because of the friendly price ($8.99) and 89 Point Wine Enthusiast rating. Also, I love Côtes du Rhône. These Grenache-based blends are classy, simple, and versatile. I fell in love with Rhone wines when I took a wine course in New York through the American Sommelier Society. We tasted Côte-Rôtie, Crozes-Hermitage, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, […]
2016 Franciscan Cabernet Napa County
Costco has carried the Franciscan Estate Napa Cabernet for a while, and the latest vintage has had something of label makeover. Previous vintages had “Franciscan Estate Napa Valley” on the label, whereas this vintage is simply “Franciscan” with a “Napa County” designation. If you’ve ever had a previous vintage, you know that it’s a quality […]
2016 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel
The Seghesio Zinfandel is just a joy to taste every year. It's consistent and interesting and one of those Costco bottles that I look forward to arriving in the store. The year's blend is a little interesting coming in at 83% Zinfandel, 12% Petite Sirah, 1% Syrah, 1% Carignane, 1% Barbera and 2% Mixed Red. […]
2017 Zuccardi Concreto Malbec
We've been tracking the Costco wines that were listed on Wine Spectator's top 100 wines of 2018 list, but this Zuccardi Malbec jumped out to me because it was featured as the #10 wine on a similar Best of year list from Wine Enthusiast. Plus there were a slew of low to mid 90 point […]
Kirkland Signature Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG
We reviewed this wine a while back, but since each new release of a Kirkland Signature label can essentially be a totally different wine, I feel that it's relevant to review it again. Also, December 31st is fast-approaching and there is no better way to toast to the New Year than with a glass of […]
2014 Chateau Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer
Chateau Palmer in the Margaux region of Bordeaux produces stunning wines, and this is the most affordable jumping off point into their wines that you’re going to find. The Alter Ego is priced at $59.99 at Costco, which is about $5 less than most online outlets, and $15 less than I saw it at Total […]
2016 Penley Estate Phoenix Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
I haven’t seen a lot of Australian wine at Costco, apart from a Shiraz here and there. This wine, boasting 93 points from Wine Spectator, definitely caught my eye, and I didn’t even hesitate to purchase a bottle. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape planted in the Coonawarra wine region. Other red varieties like Shiraz […]
2013 Lions de Suduiraut Sauternes
I really wanted to sneak this wine in before the holidays. There was discussion on the forum about dessert wines and aperitifs carried at Costco, and not too long after the post, I encountered this Sauternes in the 375ml half bottle at my Costco. And the price was right at only $11.89. I instantly bought […]
2013 Castello di Bibbione Chianti Classico Riserva
I love Chianti this time of the year, maybe because there's just so much great food around all the time to pair it with. It's definitely one of those wines that is exponentially better with the right food pairing. I usually tell people that if they're going to buy a bottle of Chianti, they should […]
Blind Tasting Three Costco Pinot Noirs from Willamette Valley Vineyards
Willamette Valley Vineyards is one of the largest, if not the largest, producers of Pinot Noir in Oregon. I've been a big fan of the wines I've tried from them, notably the Whole Cluster Pinot that is regularly recognized as a top value buy in Oregon Pinot. It's also a wine that I listed as […]
2015 Scott Paul La Paulee Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Finding this Oregon Pinot from Scott Paul was a pleasant surprise that was stuffed in the middle of the cheap seats (the wine aisles, not the wooden boxes). This is a high caliber Pinot with a retail price of $40, a standard Costco price of $30, and then an absolutely insane limited time discount of […]
2014 Clos du Val Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Clos du Val is a classic Napa producer and this 2014 bottle is just signature, high quality Napa wine at a very special Costco price. But be ready to buy it if you see it, as the promo price is only good through the end of the year. As you can see Costco's standard price […]
Costco Wine Buying Tips from Business Insider
We had a chance to speak with Business Insider all about tips and tricks for finding the best deals on wine at Costco. We've shared a few of these tips before, but this might be the most exhaustive and complete list of Costco wine buying advice ever assembled in one place, Some of the tips […]
2012 Kirkland Signature Ribera del Duero Gran Reserva
We've been hoping the Kirkland Ribera del Duero would hit stores soon, and what a nice little holiday treat, just like it was last year with the 2011 vintage. Look for the blue striped bands on the bottle's neck and you'll have no problem picking this one of the sea of Costco wines. This marks […]
2013 Casa E di Mirafiore Barolo
When browsing the wine aisles at Costco, you have to keep an eye out for wines like this Casa E di Mirafiore Barolo that are sometimes easy to miss alongside the Chianti and Brunello bottles they are frequently placed next to. Costco's price was $28.99, which is fantastic for any Barolo, and even better for […]
2015 Markham Merlot Napa Valley
A nice effort here in the Markham Merlot; this is one of those bottles that always seems to be available in my Costco, and I just never pick it out of the crowd. So this time I did, and I thought it was fun to enjoy a (pretty much) straight Napa Merlot for a change, […]
2012 Chateau Lynch-Bages Echo
Echo is the second bottle from Chateau Lynch-Bages, a Pauillac property that I've always been a big fan of, particularly their estate bottles, red and white, that are absolutely spectacular. This is a good way to get a foot in the door though for a fraction of the price of the winery's top bottles. Costco's […]
2015 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Red Blend
I first heard about this bottle from a reader who noticed that it was labeled as a “Red Blend,” instead of “Meritage” as it usually is. Perhaps it is clearer about what’s inside? Especially since the grape varietals are also now listed on the front of the label? We can’t be sure, but it’s an […]
Which of Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2018 Are At Costco?
Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2018 was just announced. This is the editors’ annual list of the wines they enjoyed the most throughout the year. You’ll see a lot of different wines representing regions all over the world, and at various price points. We went through the list and called out some of the […]
2017 Adelsheim Pinot Noir
We've got a classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noir here at a steeply discounted Costco price. The catch is that it ends tomorrow 11/18. I wish I would have seen this earlier. The retail price on this wine is $30, but with the $6 discount, you can score it at Costco for $18.99. Granted, I'm not […]
Piper Heidsieck Cuvee Brut Champagne
The Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne is a staple in Costco stores near me, and a bottle that I've been wanting to explore for some time. Costco's price of $34.99 is pretty good considering retail is closer to $50, but the wine can be found online and at Total Wine for under $40. This wine is a […]
2018 Costco Wine Thanksgiving Picks
It's time for our annual Thanksgiving wine picks from Costco. Last year, we were visiting California and posted from a store in Irvine (amazing selection by the way). This year, we're going to try to pick some recently reviewed wines in hopes that they are still available in your local warehouse. As with all things […]
2013 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino
The Kirkland Brunello is always an interesting wine ever since we saw the first vintage of it, the 2010, arrive in Costco stores. That 2010 vintage was incredible and I thought we were setting the course for an amazing new addition to the Kirkland family...until the following year when the 2011 came out. It was […]
2015 Ritual Pinot Noir
I must admit, I was attracted initially to the superficial appearance of this wine. The label is simple and classy with a small illustration of a winemaker tending to a grape vine. I liked the exaggerated curve of the Burgundy bottle as well, a hint to the style of Pinot Noir inside. These kinds of […]
2015 Poggio al Casone La Cattura Toscana IGT
First and foremost, I'd like to issue an apology to our readers for not writing this review sooner. I tasted this wine a couple of weeks back and simply forgot the whole experience. Luckily, I always take notes when I open a bottle that I plan to review, so I have more to share with […]
2016 Kirkland Signature Gigondas
This is the second year for the Kirkland Gigondas and I was happy to see the price stay consistent year to year at only $14.99. Finding wines from Gigondas priced this low is almost unheard of as evidenced by a quick Google search I did here. (if the link doesn’t work, I Googled “Gigondas” and […]
2015 Sean Minor Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Finding good Cabernet from Napa in the $20 price range is always a challenge. Right now if I was shopping at Costco with this goal in mind, I'd probably go for the Kirkland Stags Leap, which was pretty solid this year. Outside of Costco another good name to look for is Joseph Carr, who consistently […]
Our Highest Rated Costco Wines of 2018
It's hard to believe it's already been a full year since we posted our last round up of our Highest Rated Costco Wines. Maybe it's all the wine we've been drinking, but it seems like the last 12 months have flown by. Before we dig into the latest list of highest rated wines, I want […]
2017 Zolo Chardonnay Unoaked
I was happy to run into this Zolo Chardonnay from Mendoza at my Costco after hearing high praise for the wine from readers. At $7.99 the price was sure right, and as it turned out, the wine was amazing too. When Chardonnay is unoaked like this, it really lets the fruit shine through, and that's […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Cotes du Rhone Villages
Well, here's why you shop at Costco, and like to buy wine there. Kirkland Signature wines are typically good values (although we've had a few skew the other way), but this Cotes du Rhone Villages, similar to year's past, is once again a ridiculously good buy for only $6.99. Longtime readers will know this is […]
2015 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon
I'm a big fan of wines from Stags Leap, and have visited a vast majority of the wineries right there along Napa's Silverado trail. Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is one you don't want to miss; it's a classic Napa property given their role in the Judgement of Paris, which put them and Napa Valley wines […]
2015 Merryvale Chardonnay Carneros
The 2015 Merryvale Chardonnay is a real deal California Chardonnay priced way below what I would expect after tasting it. Although they are a Napa area staple (I frequently stop at the Gotts across the street for lunch, but haven't made it to the winery yet), I always associated Merryvale with middle of the road […]
2012 12 Linajes Reserva Tempranillo Ribera del Duero
Long time readers will know that I love my Ribera del Duero wines, so when I see a new one, like the 12 Linajes, arrive in my Costco stores, it's almost a no brainer. I can't think of a time in recent years when the Ribera wines at Costco didn't deliver a lot of bang […]
2018 Boschendal The Rose Garden Rose South Africa
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 […]
2015 Walt Blue Jay Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Super happy I tried this Walt Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley. It was $36.99 at my Costco, so I was really hoping for a great and memorable wine, and that's exactly what I found. Retail price on this bottle ranges from $40-$46 if you bounce between Wine.com and Wine Enthusiast; plus the latter gave the […]
