Ok, this one is straight up a personal pick. There’s lots of words in the title above but the key ones are “Costieres-de-Nimes.” This is a great area of Rhone that is frequently overlooked, and I was pumped to see one of these bottles hit Costco stores, potentially for the first time that we’ve ever …
The new Kirkland wines just keep flowing. In the past few weeks, we’ve reviewed the latest vintages of the Kirkland Premier Cru Chablis, Kirkland Oakville Cabernet, Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages, and the Kirkland Sancerre. All get a thumbs up from us, except the Cotes du Rhone that was a little lackluster this time around. …
We’re seeing quite a few new vintages of Kirkland wines hitting stores right now and we’re making our way through them as fast as we can to report our thoughts back to you. This one is a very welcome sight. As regular readers will remember, the Kirkland Sancerre was introduced for the first time last …
The Atlanta area must be the last place in the world to get this bottle. I’ve heard from readers for many months talking about the new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages, and on my pretty-much-weekly trips to Costco, I have been consistently disappointed not to find it. Until now. It’s impossible to beat this price …
Among Costco wines, particularly those in the Kirkland portfolio, it is really hard to beat the Oakville Cabernet for $20. This new 2019 vintage arrived right on time, usually Feb-March. We’re happy to see the price stay the same at $19.99. It was $18.99 a few years back but has been holding steady at $19.99 …
Finally, for the first time, we didn’t skip a vintage on the Kirkland Chablis. For some reason, this one either doesn’t always appear near us, it sells out fast, or it skips a vintage. I think it’s a combination of the first two. But we found it this time, and there’s good news right off …
The sale signs always catch our eye, and this one really did, because the net price comes down to $4.99. The standard Costco price for this bottle is $10.99 and with the $6 discount (thru 3/13) it brings it down to five bucks, which is pretty amazing for any bottle of wine. Looking online, the …
Here’s a great Costco wine find that totally surprised us. This is a solid bubbly wine at a rather amazing Costco price, definitely the lowest we’ve ever seen; we should have bought more. We also have a special affinity for Gloria Ferrer having had the pleasure of visiting the winery a few years ago. It …
It would be almost impossible to peruse the Costco wine aisle and not have this set catch your eye. And it’s a really cool idea, especially for those sake fans out there. This set includes five 200ml jars of Junmai Sake. Each jar has a thin metal pull tab kind of like you would find …
It seems like the prices keep creeping up on Albarino as word gets out about how good they are. I put Gruner Veltliner in that same bucket. You used to see them under $15, and now that’s quite rare, and most are closer to $20. Except at Costco. This is exactly the kind of white …
Look what arrived in stores a month or so early…one of our favorite bottles from the Kirkland wine portfolio. This marks the third vintage of this wine to be released, and in looking back over past reviews, you can see that we rated both the 2015 vintage and 2016 vintage 92 points. From the Costco …
You’d have to be a long time reader of this blog to remember the last time we found the Chento Malbec at Costco. It was all the way back in July of 2016 when we found the 2012 vintage for $13.89. The opening line in that review stated, “Massive bargain here. Great wine at a …
We’re always on the lookout for something new and different on Costco wine shelves, and this bottle certainly fit the bill. We didn’t know the producer, there’s no vintage listed, looks like a field blend of a bunch of different grapes, interesting bottle design and we weren’t sure what we were getting into exactly. But …
Kirkland’s Bordeaux Superieur is always an interesting bottle. Some people love it, some don’t, and our opinion seems to sway with every vintage. This new 2019 vintage changes things up a bit. First, the price actually decreased by $1, down to $6.99. It has always been $7.99, so a welcome change there. The blend changed …
Here’s another limited time discount Costco wine find, that essentially knocks the price in half compared to its full retail of around $20. Normally $16.99 at Costco, the limited time $6 off (until 2/13) brings it down to only $10.99. And this wine is pretty amazing. I’d jump on this while you can. Here’s a …
