We picked this one up to have on hand for Thanksgiving weekend and figured there’d be a good time to open what we hoped would be a tasty Pinot Noir. A lot of these Pinots can really get good when you start to spend between $30-$45. Costco’s price was $32.99, which is pretty competitive. It’s …
There’s quite a bit of new info to share about the latest vintage of the Kirkland Russian River Pinot, and it’s all positive. First off is the new label which surprised us; seems like they’ve tried quite a few different looks to this bottle over the years. We like it, and you can see how …
Here’s another interesting box that came our way, and it’s a bit different for this site. This is a Flavored Whisky sampler containing 12 200ml bottles. We can’t buy this (or hard liquor) at most Costco stores in Georgia (only two, Dunwoody and Alpharetta), but received it to sample from the distributor. We are also …
Costco’s been playing around with some redesigns of the Kirkland wine labels over the past year, so this new one caught our eye. It’s also a Columbia Valley Red blend, not the Cabernet that we have reviewed more recently. There was a Cabernet – Merlot a while back and before that a red blend that …
This was a welcome sight in the Costco wine aisles – the latest vintage of the Kirkland Signature Gigondas, which usually arrives in Jan is here a little early this year. It’s hard to believe that Kirkland produces a Gigondas bottle as it’s not the region of France you hear talked about all that much. …
We thought it might be time to revisit this popular Costco Amarone. The last time we reviewed it was back with the 2016 vintage that we enjoyed and gave 89 points. We have a similar story with the 2018 vintage that is in Costco stores right now. The price did go up $1 to $23.99, …
This bottle is a fairly familiar sight around Costco wine aisles. It seems to appear almost every vintage, and usually sticks around for a while, especially at the stores we frequent around the Atlanta area. And it’s a real treat because it is just a solid, dependable, and inexpensive wine that you should definitely try …
This Chianti Classico had a few things going for it that made a strong case for throwing a bottle in our cart. First, we love Chianti Classicos, and particularly those with 5-7 years of age on them, so this 2016 fit the bill quite nicely. It’s drinking really good right now. Next, we remembered tasting …
Here’s a new Champagne hitting the Costco shelves, and the first thing you notice is the super cool bottle design that is short and stubby; neat label too. The price was right at $27.99, which is a level where you rarely find real Champagne, outside of the $19.99 Kirkland Champagne, which we always enjoy. Online …
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, …
We love seeing new bottles from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars hit the shelves at Costco and this AVETA Sauvignon Blanc is one that we’ve never seen before, at least around the Atlanta area Costco stores we frequent. Previously, as far as white wines go from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, we’ve reviewed and enjoyed their Karia …
On the heels of our review of the Infinito Malbec that had a nice limited discount on it, now we find another one, that with the limited time discount brings the price down to under $10. The Infinito turned out to be pretty good; we went 87 points. This one is just a few bucks …
Here’s one of our favorite Kirkland wines coming in right on time with the latest vintage. Fall is usually when this Brunello hits stores, and right off the bat we have some good news with the price staying at $19.99. Long time readers may remember this wine had crept up to $27 in prior years, …
It’s that time of the year again when we look back at some of our favorite Costco wine finds throughout the year. We have quite a few new additions that we enjoyed this year. If you want to check out our previous roundups, here is this same list from 2021, 2020 and 2019. It’s always …
We weren’t sure what to expect here but had a sneaking suspicion that this might be an under the radar winner. And we were spot on. Languedoc is a region in Southern France, in between the Mediterranean and Rhone Valley, and you can see the Rhone influence in the varietal blend here which is 70% …
