Every year Wine Spectator lists their Top 100 wines of the year, and we love to comb through it and call out the bottles we’ve found at Costco. Here’s last year’s post. We also rely on readers to point out ones they’ve found in their local warehouse too so we can all be on the …

It’s already that time of the year again. It seems like just yesterday when we posted our 2020 Thanksgiving picks. So here we are for another go around, and I tried to freshen these up this year, sprinkling in some oldies but goodies. I know not everyone will be able to find these wines, so …
Here’s a nice find for all you bubbly fans out there. As long-time readers know, we are huge fans of French Cremants, and they pop up on occasion at Costco. Cremants are an affordable alternative to French Champagne and, in our opinion at least, they are more interesting than Prosecco or Cava. These Cremants can …
All right Costco wine fans, here we go with our annual look back at the wines we tasted throughout the year that we rated the highest. This generally means they hit 91 points or above. It’s always fun to revisit this list from year’s past, so here’s last year’s list, and here’s 2019. Reviewing those …
It’s heatin’ up around the Atlanta area, and there are few things tastier on a hot day than a delicious brut rosé. We recently enjoyed the Gerard Bertrand An 825 Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose we found at Costco for $14.49. Also, the Lucien Albrecht Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rosé that is a few dollars more …
We drink a fair amount of bubbly wine at our house. It just goes with anything, any meal, anybody. Long time readers know that we love the Kirkland Champagne for $19.99. That’s real French Champagne at an almost unheard of price. We were excited to see another French bubbly hit our Costco stores, this time …
Here’s a fun bottle I was excited to see hit Costco shelves. Lucien Albrecht produces excellent wine and we really enjoyed the standard Cremant d’Alsace Brut that we tasted a couple years ago. Now we have the Brut Rosé at Costco with a special price of $16.99. The standard Brut, when it was around, was …
The holidays are upon us, and New Years is right around the corner, so it’s that time of the year when I know many people are thinking about stocking up on a few bubbly wines to celebrate. Costco is always a great place for sparkling wines. Granted the selection won’t be as broad as a …
Today, Wine Spectator released their annual Top 100 wines of the year list. We always like to call out which ones we’ve seen at Costco. But this is a group effort. Everyone has to help because the selection is going to vary around the country. And this year I only found two from the list …
It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines to consider putting on your table for the Thanksgiving meal. This is always tough because of availability so we will try to focus on wines that we believe are widely available (we are 100% independent of Costco so can’t say for sure), as well as …
I think we will all agree that 2020 is a year like no other. Thankfully, wine has been a bright part of it for me as I imagine it was for many of you. This is the time of the year when we look back at the Costco wines we reviewed throughout the year, and …
Several readers alerted us last week that this new Kirkland offering was hitting Costco store shelves, and I was able to find it this weekend. The price for this Barolo is $19.99, which falls right in the ballpark where we see many higher end Kirkland wines (Pauillac Bordeaux, Chateauneuf, Brunello, Champagne). In each case the …
It seems like everyone is posting about New Year’s resolutions and they are all saying the same things about fitness and diets, so let’s have some fun and look at some resolutions specific to buying wine at Costco. And I plan to commit to doing these myself in 2020. 1. Commit to trying new wines, …
This is always a fun post, but it relies a lot on all of our readers out there (just updated with some comments from readers, thank you). As they do every year, Wine Spectator just released their Top 100 wines of 2019. It’s a fun list to comb through and this year they highlighted some …
All right, it’s that time of the year again when we recommend some of out favorite Costco wines to enjoy with the Thanksgiving meal. This year I went to three Costco stores around the Atlanta area (Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cumberland) to make sure these wines were still in stock before adding them to the list. Because …
