Always a welcome sight seeing the return of this Kirkland bottle, arriving a little early this year. Usually we see it in December, and last vintage it didn't arrive until January, at least around us. We are getting a small price increase this year, just up $1 from $13.99 last year. But that's a fair […]
Best of the Year: Our Highest Rated Costco Wines of 2025
The close of another year is approaching which means it's that time when we look back at the highest rated wines we tasted and reviewed from Costco during 2025. In case you’re curious, here are links to this story from the previous few years: 2024, 2023, and 2022. It's always fun to review what we enjoyed over […]
2019 Legon Premium Ribera Del Duero
We expected big things from this wine, and boy did it deliver. We love Spanish wines, and find them to be the shining star in today's wine world for high quality wines at great prices. This is the perfect case in point landing at Costco for $14.99, and checking pretty much every box for us. […]
How do Kirkland Wine Prices in the US Compare With Japan?
Yeah, we're nerds for this stuff. Last year we wrote up a large feature story on shopping for wine (and other interesting things) at a Costco store in Japan. That story was popular with readers, so we decided to give it another go here after a return visit to that same Costco in Kawasaki just […]
2021 Jonata Todos Red Blend
On our trips to Costco, we are always on the look out for something new, different and off the beaten path, and here's a perfect example of what we hope to find. This is a small production (only 2600 cases) red blend from Ballard Canyon in the Santa Ynez Valley. We just spent some time […]
8 Kirkland Wines With Prices Going Down in 2025
At a time when it seems like everything around us is increasing in price, we've actually see a number of Kirkland wines go down in the price this year. We keep a running list of every Kirkland wine detailing their historical prices, release date and average rating from us. This is the most definitive guide […]
2022 Sean Minor Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast
Here's a Cabernet that makes semi-frequent appearances in Costco, and it's one we haven't reviewed as much as we probably should. It's been a long time, seven years in fact, when we last reviewed the 2015 vintage of the straight Napa Cabernet. This one we are tasting today is the Signature Series North Coast. Outside […]
2021 Ciabot Baronetto Barbaresco
It's hard to believe we've never reviewed a Barbaresco for this site after 1300+ reviews. We just returned from Italy a few months ago where we enjoyed plenty of them. So it's nice to see this one make an appearance at Costco, and we were of course interested to taste and post about it. Barbaresco […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Toscana
The Kirkland Toscana Super Tuscan red blend is a wine we always look forward to trying, and it seems to hit us differently almost every time. This 2022 vintage though, might be our favorite so far. The price did jump up $1 to $14.99 compared to the 2021 vintage, but that's ok. This ballpark is […]
2024 Kirkland Signature Cotes du Rhone Villages
Just before the close of October, we finally found one of the Kirkland wines we search for every fall. This marks three years in a row when we've found this bottle in the Sept-Oct timeframe, and it's a treat every time, especially as it retains the ridiculously low price of $7.39. It's almost impossible to […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Margaux Bordeaux
Earlier this month, readers alerted us to this new, and very important, addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio, a Margaux Bordeaux. We couldn't be happier to see this bottle from one of Bordeaux's premier regions, and one of our personal favorites among the left bank appellations. Already this year, we saw two new Bordeaux wines […]
2024 Kirkland Signature Russian River Pinot Noir
The Kirkland Russian River Pinot is one of the more inconsistent wines vintage to vintage in the Kirkland wine portfolio. Our ratings over the past seven vintages have been as low as 85 and as high as 89 points, not a gigantic swing but bigger than many of the other Kirkland bottles. We really wish […]
New at Costco: Wines of Europe 4 Bottle Box and Igloo Wine Tote Bag
We have a bit of a combo news story here to highlight a couple new wine items we found on our most recent trip to Costco. The first is a new Wines of Europe boxed set that is different than the Grand Vins de Bordeaux boxed set that is also in stores right now. This […]
2019 Aresca Costareto Barolo
Here's a huge find at Costco right now - a new Barolo with a few years of age on it that turned out to be delicious. So this one is just a few bucks more than the always delicious Kirkland Signature Barolo that we rave about, particularly the latest vintage. This Barolo is super solid, […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
We are glad to see this one in stores in October, and right on the heels of us finding the latest vintage of the Kirkland Columbia Valley Red Blend, which we really enjoyed giving it 90 points. Good news for this straight Cab too with the price staying the same at $9.79, which has always […]
Huge find: New Kirkland Signature Margaux Bordeaux
Update: our full review is now live We've been thrilled with some of the new addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio from France that have popped up in the last few years. This includes the return of the Pauillac Bordeaux, the new Saint Emilion Grand Cru, and the semi new Vacqueyras. All fantastic wines. But […]
6 Mistakes To Avoid When Shopping for Costco Wine
Long time readers may remember our stories on Costco wine shopping tips and FAQs about Costco wine and this website. Those stories covered a lot of ground about shopping for wine at Costco, and today we're going to take a slightly different angle and discuss some of the things to avoid when perusing the wine […]
2023 Poetic Justice Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
We're fans of many Napa Valley Cabernet but definitely not all of them. They can really be hit or miss, or stylistically not up our alley; sometimes too oaky, too fruity, or too big and overwhelming. The ones we prefer are styled more around elegance and balance, and we found this one from Poetic Justice […]
2023 Urlar Sauvignon Blanc
Here's a delicious new Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand that is a clear step above many of the other wines you find from the region. It reminds us in many ways of the Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc we reviewed and really enjoyed earlier this year. If you enjoy these wines, it's worth it to venture […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This is always a fun bottle to try with every new vintage. It's Kirkland's base level Napa Valley Cabernet, which flies under the radar a lot of times, and seems to move quickly through stores. It moves so fast in fact, that we didn't catch the past two vintages in stores near us which is […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Series Columbia Valley Red Wine
This is a rather new addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio, originating three years ago when we tasted and reviewed the 2020 vintage. We went 88 points back then, and 89 points with the 2021 vintage. It's kind of a bummer that we seemed to have missed the 2022 vintage because we would have scooped […]
Grands Vins de Bordeaux 2022 Collection in stores now
It's always around the fall season when Costco drops the Grands Vin de Bordeaux wooden boxes. These have typically been great value buys, offering four 90+ point rated Bordeaux bottles for $29.99. Here's our look at last year's box. This year we have four new bottles from the following regions: Cadillac (2), Cotes-de-Bourg and Blaye, […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino
It looks like another September release for this Kirkland wine that has become a little unpredictable on timing over the past 12-18 months. We even saw the 2018 vintage make a surprise appearance in March of this year, which was really unexpected. Right away we notice the price on the Costco placard sticking at $19.99, […]
2020 Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Medoc Bordeaux
We were really excited to find this Bordeaux at Costco and at one of the best prices we've ever seen. It was a complete surprise since the Costco app's new search feature didn't show it in our search results as we were scoping out the inventory in advance. The app is a huge step in […]
2020 Chateau Carlmagnus Bordeaux
This is one of those Costco finds, under $15 gems from around the world, that you usually uncover in the cheap seats (the stacks of wine boxes), but it made the cut to be in the wood bins. A Fronsac Bordeaux at a fantastic price. Average price on Wine-Searcher is $26; Wine.com is $18 and […]
2025 Costco Wine Advent-ure Calendar
It's that time of the year again, and one of the most popular and widely discussed Costco wine items is starting to arrive in stores: the 2025 Costco Wine Advent Calendar. Here's everything you need to know about this year's box. We were lucky to get a hold of one early this year since last […]
2015 La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904
Absolute beauty once again from this wine, and we are glad to see the newest release hit Costco shelves. But one big downside, a big price hike at Costco. We were stunned to see the $79.99 price on the Costco placard. The last time we bought it at Costco the price was $54.99 and not […]
2021 Bodegas Sierra Salinas Mo Monastrell
It's been a little while since we've come across a bottle of straight Monastrell (Mourvedre) at Costco. Our last review on one of these wines was just about two years ago with the very tasty Ego Infinito which we rated 90 points. Retail price for this bottle seems to be around $20 with some online […]
2021 Tutela Amarone della Valpolicella
We don't always see a lot of Amarone grace Costco shelves, and we usually scoop them up when we do. A quick search of the blog shows the last Amarone we tasted and reviewed was way back in Nov of 2022. It's a wine we'd love to see more of so this was a nice […]
2022 Bodegas Vatan Triton Toro
This one almost slipped by us as we were scanning the Costco wooden crates. The Toro mention is rather subdued in the bottom part of the label, and the Costco sign just mentions "Tempranillo," which is the varietal here, but it really should call out the Toro region. Maybe it's just us but we are […]
First Look: 2025 Costco Wine Advent-ure Calendar
UPDATE: Our complete look at the new 2025 Costco Wine Advent calendar is now live. Thanks to long time reader Annie, we have a first look at the new 2025 Costco Wine Advent calendar. In years past, we've found it in stores in September, but seeing it in August is extra early this time around. […]
2023 Groth Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
Groth is a fantastic name in Napa Valley wines. Their Sauvignon Blanc makes pretty regular appearances at Costco, and their Cabernet Sauvignon (and Reserve) show up on rare occasions. The winery sites on a prime location right in the heart of Oakville, across the street from B Cellars, another favorite of ours, and a great […]
2020 Chateau Ascension Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux
It's always nice finding a new Saint-Emilion Grand Cru arriving in Costco stores. We just reviewed the brand new Kirkland Saint-Emilion Grand Cru which we found to be a perfect new addition to the Kirkland line of wines. That bottle came in at $15, which is a screaming bargain, and a slightly better wine than […]
2023 Inscription Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Here’s a new Pinot Noir from a familiar name, King Estate, whose Pinot Gris has graced Costco shelves for many years. This is their Inscription Pinot Noir which is sourced from multiple vineyards throughout Oregon’s Willamette Valley, which we all know is a haven for great Pinot. Costco brings in this bottle at $16.99, which […]
2019 Castillo De Logrono Rioja Crianza
It's always a treat to find new Rioja on Costco shelves, and even sweeter when it comes with a huge limited time discount like we found on this one. This bottle is $20, on sale for half price, only $9.99. No indication of the timeframe for the limited time discount, so it's possible this is […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Pauillac Bordeaux
It's hard to believe this is actually here, a new vintage of a Kirkland favorite that was discontinued several years ago. At that time, it was our favorite, and a reader favorite Kirkland bottle. That was before the Brunello, Barolo, Suscol, and many of our other top picks. A picture of some of the old […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Our email really blew up this past week with readers talking about the new 2023 vintage of the Kirkland Stags Leap Cab hitting stores. And a quick search in the Costco app correctly showed it in stock near us. We love the new warehouse search feature when it works properly. The price stayed the same […]
Is An Old Kirkland Favorite Coming Back?
Look what showed up on the Costco Wine Blog subreddit: a 2023 vintage of the Kirkland Signature Pauillac Bordeaux. We really hope no one is messing around in photoshop, because if this is true, it is huge news. This was one of the most beloved Kirkland wines of all time, and it sadly ended seven […]
2021 Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Cabernet Franc Mendoza
We knew this label looked familiar but couldn't place it right away. A quick search of our site though, and then we had it. We tasted and reviewed a Malbec we found at Costco from this producer three years ago, and enjoyed it, giving it 89 points. This one grabbed our attention because we rarely […]
2023 Bonterra Estate Collection Sauvignon Blanc
This is a new arrival in the white wine aisles at Costco that caught our eye. We've had some of the less expensive bottles from Bonterra and found them to be just ok. But this is the Estate Collection, and you can see on the Costco placard the wine received a nice 92 point rating […]
