A new Costco warehouse has opened in Napa, CA located at 280 Riversound Way. The store claims to have the largest wine selection of any other Costco warehouse with 174 SKUs. Most stores have half that or less. The wine steward at the new store told media they will have great prices on Bordeaux as …
Hello Costco Wine fans. Today’s that wonderful day of the year when we look back at the highest rated wines we tasted and reviewed from Costco during 2024. In case you’re curious, here are links to this story from previous years: 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. As any experienced Costco shopper knows, inventory moves fast, and that …
This is a new one that caught our eye. Long time readers know we love Spanish wines, especially Ribera Del Duero which is just a mecca for high quality wines at great prices. And this bottle is a perfect example. It’s not an inexpensive wine at $28.99 but we feel it’s worth that and much …
We found a couple new additions in the wine aisles worth noting during a recent visit to a Costco store in Alpharetta, GA. First up is a new “Taste of Spain” collection coming in at $24.99 for 3 bottles. The collection includes a Cabernet Sauvignon, a proprietary red wine and a Tempranillo. All wines were …
We’re hot from just having found the Cune Gran Reserva Rioja at Costco, and now we find this very affordable Rioja where the quality really surprised us at this price point. Good drinkable red wine under $10 that doesn’t come from the Kirkland brand is hard to find. Costco’s a good place to look as …
Ok, Chateauneuf-du-Pape time; always a favorite of ours. Costco generally does a good job bringing in reasonably priced Chateauneufs that are nice quality, including the Kirkland one of course that is only $20. This is a new one we had yet to find and taste. Costco’s price was $34.99, and it looks like the retail …
Here’s a new Albarino at Costco and boy are we glad we scooped this one up. This is perhaps the best Albarino we’ve ever bought at Costco (and a top pick even elsewhere). Costco’s price is only $11.99, which is fantastic for these Rias Baixas whites that seem to just keep going up in price. …
The Russian River Pinot Noir from Kirkland is a bottle we look forward to tasting every year, and we’ve seen varied quality since its introduction all the way back to the 2014 vintage. An important part that is consistent is the price, once again staying at $11.99, which is just crazy for fruit from this …
[originally published 5/2020; last update 10/2024] Costco’s Kirkland branded products are synonymous with high quality at super low prices, and the wine aisle is no exception. In some cases, Kirkland wines can be the shining example of the ridiculous quality to price ratio you can find under these private branded products. We’ve been tasting and …
Just a few weeks ago we reviewed the Cune Albarino and mentioned in that post how much we enjoyed the red wines from Cune. And then our latest trip to Costco, we found this one, and as a bonus it’s a Gran Reserva. Can’t beat that, and for $20, which is a fantastic price for …
Of course we had to scoop up this new Barolo the minute we saw it, especially at that $23.99 price point. That puts it in striking range of the always amazing, and fan favorite, Kirkland Barolo which is $19.99. Sometimes these inexpensive Barolos can be hit or miss, and luckily this one turned out to …
Look what we found. The latest vintage of the ultra popular Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages is out in stores. It’s a September arrival (barely) this time; October last vintage, and actually March before that, so hoping we see some steadiness to this timeframe. We love having these on hand all fall and winter long. …
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Kris in stores. For a while, it was a staple in the white wine section. Then it fell off the map for a bit, at least around the stores we frequent. So we were happy to see it again, and coming in at $8.99 which is $1 or …
Cune is a producer who we always associated with red Tempranillo wines, and in a very good way, so it was a surprise to us to see this Albarino pop up from them at Costco. It also seems to be getting increasingly more difficult to find good Albarino under $15 as prices on many of …
There was a massive, barely noticed update to the Costco mobile app. And get this, it finally lets you search the inventory at Costco stores, right from your smartphone. This is huge news as it can save countless trips to stores searching for bottles. And other items too. And it works really well. Let’s take …
