This is the second wine from a top Bordeaux property in the Pessac-Leognan region which we adore. Costco's price is pretty good considering retail is around $35. We've tasted the grand vin wine from this property multiple times, and have always enjoyed it, so we were curious how this second wine would fare. It is […]
New $7 Kirkland Rioja spotted - JME Seleccion
There's a brand new Kirkland Rioja out there, spotted first by our reader Dave P at a Costco store in Bend, Oregon. Price was $6.99 and Costco item number is 917056. This is actually slightly less expensive than the current Kirkland Rioja Reserva. Ironically, the item number is the same. Interesting development for sure, and […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
We started hearing rumblings last week that the new Oakville was out there, and happily found it on our last visit. This bottle usually arrives in Q1 every year, coming in a little early last year (Jan) but right on time with this 2022 vintage. Of course, the first thing to notice is the price […]
Who Are the Real Producers Behind Costco’s Kirkland Signature Wines?
Kirkland Signature products aim to bring premium quality at rock bottom prices, and most of the time they hit the mark, particularly in the wine aisle. To get that high quality, Costco often teams up with big name producers who can’t always claim these wines as their own, or it might devalue some of their […]
2022 Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon
This is the first time reviewing this wine for the site but it is a bottle we've tasted and thoroughly enjoyed across multiple vintages. It is always a classic expression of Napa Cabernet at a great price, and Costco really did us a favor bringing it in at $26.99. A quick online search will show […]
2021 Quinta Do Portal Douro Reserva
Every time we see a Portuguese bottle hit Costco shelves we pick it up immediately. It might be the best "bang for the buck" region in the wine world today. This bottle was a particularly fun find for us. We've reviewed a couple of this producer's less expensive bottles in the past, and they were […]
Frequently Asked Questions About Costco Wine and This Website
We thought we'd revisit and update this popular feature story where we answer the most common questions we receive from our readers. This site started more than ten years and 1000 wine reviews ago and has grown far beyond what we ever thought possible. It's created a great community of people all looking for really […]
2023 Justin Sauvignon Blanc
We're big fans of wines from Justin. They are one of those dependable names that consistently deliver a good wine for the money. We've reviewed several vintages of the Justin Cabernet for this site, and their higher end Isosceles bottling is a favorite, but this is the first time we've seen the Sauvignon Blanc at […]
2021 Vina Ventisquero Heru Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley
A little something different here in this Chilean Pinot Noir. We are always trying to taste and review new wines, and this one was right up our alley. Costco's price is $24.99 which is very good considering retail looks to be $35+. And the wine pulled down a whopping 94 point rating from Wine Spectator […]
2020 Stipulation Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
This is an interesting new find at Costco that we're sure many of you are anxious to hear an opinion about. We love seeing a Howell Mountain wine hit Costco shelves, and the $39.99 price tag isn't bad at all for a wine from this premier region of Napa. This bottle looks to be selling […]
2021 North 46 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley
This is straight up a super solid wine at a great Costco price. Certain to be a hit for fans of wines from Washington State's Columbia Valley. There is a subtle difference though to this wine that wasn't apparent at first. About 4 years ago we reviewed a similar wine, branded North 46 from Washington […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Bordeaux Superieur
This wine is a smoking deal and is fast becoming one of our favorite Kirkland wine buys. It's not that it's an insane wine. It's the price to quality ratio that is special; in the case of this bottle, it's really hard to beat. This remains a 87-88 point wine; it's landed in that range […]
2019 WindVane Carneros Pinot Noir Estate Grown
We ran into a huge corner stack of these bottles on a Costco visit this morning and we are posting out of cycle because wanted to get this live as fast as possible given this substantial discount that ends on 1/26. This is a Carneros Pinot Noir actually owned by Gloria Ferrer who produces lovely […]
2019 Chateau Larose-Trintaudon Haut-Medoc
The New Year is really off to an amazing start with some of the new Costco wines we are finding, and this one is certainly among the best of the bunch. This is an Haut-Medoc with the Cru Bourgeois designation, which is usually a good sign. When you find the right ones with these markings […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Gigondas
A slightly late arrival on this one; we were expecting it to arrive in December as we've seen with past vintages. But glad of course to see it didn't go anywhere. This Gigondas from the Kirkland label is always a good buy, at a rather unheard price point ($13.99) for this region. And we are […]
2020 Plaimont Saint Mont Les Cepages Blanc
Here's an interesting new Costco wine that instantly caught our eye. We are always on the lookout for new and different white wines from around the world, so this bottle fits the bill perfectly. This is a blend of three grapes from the Saint Mont area in Gascogne in southwestern France: Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu, […]
2018 Bodegas Valdelacierva Alfar Rioja Reserva
We're spending more time in the cheap seats (aka, stacked boxes of wine at Costco, vs the wooden crates). This one was an easy drop in the cart, and frankly, turned out to be a bottle that doesn't belong in the cheap seats at all. A $9.99 Rioja Reserva with 93 points from Wine Enthusiast. […]
2020 Chateau Le Roudier Bordeaux Superieur
Today we're exploring the cheap seats again and we love finding these random French bottles that make their way in there at really low prices. Here's a Bordeaux Superieur with a few years built in for $5.99. Looks to be closer to $10 most places online and it received 91 points from Wine Enthusiast which […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
It's back in a new vintage, and that's great news since last year was the inaugural vintage for this stellar addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio. The second year is always the most important; where we ensure these wines have staying power, and they don't just fall off the map. In this case, we heard […]
2023 Chateau de Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Here's a classy Sancerre hitting Costco shelves. You'll never hear us complain about seeing more Sancerre at Costco. These wines are consistently so delicious, and food friendly. The Kirkland Sancerre is fantastic, and there's been a handful of others, but it is definitely a region we'd love to see in Costco more often. This bottle […]
Kirkland Signature Helles Style Lager
Yeah, we know, not a wine but this is a Costco item that demanded exploration. Occasionally, we'll review beer we find at Costco and as many of you probably can attest, they can really be hit or miss. The Kirkland Signature Light Beer is one that became famous online for its low quality. It was […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
We almost didn't notice this was a new vintage of this bottle when we saw it. Since we just reviewed the 2021 vintage at the end of July, we weren't expecting the next vintage until summertime. We assumed these cases were remnants of the 2021 still lingering in stores. And that would be fine. This […]
Cellar Selection: 2015 Kirkland Signature Pauillac Bordeaux
We love doing our Cellar Selection series, where we revisit classic Kirkland bottles from years ago that we stashed away in the cellar. We've been sitting on some of the old, and now retired, Kirkland Pauillac Bordeaux for 6-7 years. Last year we cracked open the 2014 Kirkland Pauillac bottle, and found it to be […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
This popular Kirkland wine is arriving right on schedule. We called it landing in December. The last vintage arrived in November and then we had some January drops before that. December was splitting the difference. The Rutherford Cab is also one of our favorites every year, right alongside to the Oakville, Suscol and Stags Leap. […]
2022 Alkina Kin Shiraz Barossa Valley
This is a solid new find in the Costco wine aisle and one that we enjoyed quite a bit. This bottle is $19.99 at Costco which looks to be at least a few bucks less than other outlets, and it received 92 points from Wine Advocate. Once we got into it we found a wine […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Today, we're going to revisit an old Kirkland classic, the Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It's been four years since we last posted about this wine with the 2019 vintage. We enjoyed that bottle, rating it 87 points at the time. There were some rumors swirling that this wine was being discontinued […]
2023 North Wind Vidal Icewine
Sneaking in a quickie here after Thanksgiving when we enjoyed this Canadian Icewine. We've tasted and reviewed a few of these before and they've always been a fun change of pace. These are definitely on the sweeter side but packed with flavor and character. Golden in the glass with nice body to it, this wine […]
New Kirkland Signature Wines We'd Love To See At Costco
There have been some really nice additions to the Kirkland wine portfolio in recent years. Notably a few come to mind: Kirkland Signature Vacqueyras Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Kirkland Signature Sancerre Kirkland Signature Gigondas Kirkland Signature Saint-Julien Bordeaux That's a heck of a list from some […]
2021 Goldeneye Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
We knew this was going to be a delicious wine and boy, did it deliver. This is the Goldeneye Pinot from Duckhorn and their Anderson Valley fruit. We've tasted previous vintages (not from Costco) and have always enjoyed this wine. Tasting this 2021 vintage was a nice reminder of how good this really is. Costco's […]
2022 Domaine de la Galopiere Cuvee Perle Rare Bourgogne
We are always down for trying new Burgundies when they arrive at Costco and this was a new one we ran into. Costco's price at $22.99 is about what we found the wine selling for online, and Vivino showed an average price of $22.61. So perhaps not much of a deal here for buying at […]
2024 Costco Wine Advent-ure Calendar
Many of you have been wondering the same thing we have: where is the Costco wine advent calendar for 2024? For the past three years, we found it in stores in September. There were a few rumblings online about it for 2024, but not a lot of solid information or spottings in the wild. We […]
2022 Fattoria Le Pupille Morellino Di Scansano Sangiovese
This one caught us off guard. We were expecting a run of the mill Sangiovese, but couldn't be more impressed with what's delivered here and for only $13.89. Morellino di Scansano is a wine region in Tuscany that's not often talked about, but should be. These wines are predominantly (85%) Sangiovese (Morellino is the local […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Saint-Julien Bordeaux
This popular Kirkland Bordeaux is back. Always a good sign since we have only have seen two vintages so far. It's nice to see Costco committed to these high quality, highly desirable wine regions with the Kirkland label. More good news, the price actually keeps coming down a little bit each year. It's not much, […]
2024 Costco Wine Thanksgiving Picks
It's already that time of the year, and we're sure that many of you are planning for the big meal. If you're reading this site, we imagine wine for Thanksgiving is also on your mind. Costco is a great place to stock up. We always put together this annual list for Thanksgiving, trying to highlight […]
2021 Trimbach Riesling Alsace
It's been several years since we've seen this Riesling from Trimbach in Costco stores. And it's too bad because it's a delicious find from a consistently strong producer. We've enjoyed countless bottles from Trimbach over the years; this Riesling of course but also their Pinot Blanc; and then if you climb up in price, their […]
2022 Bull By The Horns Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
Here's a new Cabernet from Paso Robles hitting Costco stores. This one slides in right alongside other popular Costco favorites from this region we've also reviewed and enjoyed like Justin and Daou. The price tag at Costco ($16.99) comes in a few bucks shy of the aforementioned bottles, providing a similar quality wine at a […]
New Costco Store in Napa Boasts Largest Wine Selection
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 […]
Our Highest Rated Costco Wines of 2024
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 […]
2018 Teofilo Reyes Ribera Del Duero Edicion Limitada Crianza
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 […]
New Spanish Red Collection and Big Bottles Hitting Costco Stores
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 […]
