I really like this wine. Year in and year out, it just always seems to hit me right. Granted part of that feeling is likely because it’s summertime, it’s hot, and there’s nothing like a crisp, refreshing, easy drinking white to sip on by the pool. And that’s how we drank this bottle. The wine …

This wine caught my eye because of the great price and 90 Point Wine Spectator rating. It appeared in select Costco clubs a couple of weeks ago featured at a price that is easily a few dollars less than most other retailers currently offer. This is a great time of year for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. …
After Spain, Portuguese red wines are one of my top go-to areas and we just don’t see enough of them at Costco, so this was a welcome site, especially at only $7.99. I was also intrigued to learn that this wine was ranked #60 on Wine Spectator’s list of the Top 100 of 2017. That’s a good …
Justin is a classic Paso Robles Cabernet that seems to regularly be in stock at Costcos near me in the Atlanta area. Costco’s price at $19.99 is just ok, as it’s around the $20 mark most places with a few creeping up closer to $25, like Wine.com. I gravitate to this wine (and Cabs from …
I received a few notes from readers recently inquiring about the availability of the $7 Kirkland Prosecco which apparently disappeared from a few Costco stores (I’m not sure if that’s still the case because I saw new pallets arrive last week at the Costcos near me). But readers were asking if there were any other …
I admit I’m a sucker for New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, especially as the weather warms up, although lately I’ve been leaning more towards Vino Verdes when I’m looking a simple refreshing, no thought to it, white wine. I wish Costco would offer some Vino Verde choices, but I have yet to see any near me. …
Here’s the next wine in our Cellar Series, where we revisit favorite Costco wines from the past that we’ve put away in the cellar to (hopefully) capture the benefit of a few more years of age; or at least to get an idea of how these wines will evolve, just for the curious. Like our …
We haven’t seen as many Chateauneufs in warehouses as we would like. But maybe that’s starting to change which is common around this time of the year. I noticed the always incredible Beaucastel is in stock, which is a favorite (and an expensive treat), but then saw this bottle priced at $26.99, which is pretty …
First off, thank you all for following and supporting this site. It’s a lot of fun for us to do, and it’s really awesome to connect a bunch of like-minded Costco wine fans all with the same mission – to find really good wines at great prices. We continue to grow traffic wise every month …
Costco did us right by offering this superb 2010 Brunello for the awesome price of only $26.99. They teased us with the ’10 Kirkland Signature Brunello which we thought was outstanding, only to follow it up with two mediocre Brunello offerings for the ’11 and ’12 vintages. The main appeal of the Kirkland Brunello is …
It’s time for our annual round up of Costco wines that we think will pair nicely with the Thanksgiving holiday. This year’s list is compiled from wines available right now at the Costco in Irvine, CA. We can’t guarantee that all of these same wines will be in your local warehouse, but we hope that …
I’m always skeptical when wineries proudly place stickers on their bottles to promote the high scores the wines have received by the mainstream wine ratings companies. Just the other week we tasted a bottle rated 93 points by one of these outlets, and it fell way below expectations for us. This one, however, proudly stamped …
The past couple of weeks have been devastating for California residents as thousands were forced to flee their homes in the middle of the night to avoid being consumed by raging wildfires. The tragedy of this situation is only beginning to unfold as rescue workers sort through piles of rubble and ash while residents return …
Long time readers will know that we love these sub $20 Ribera del Duero bottles when they hit Costco stores. Almost as much as we like some of the off shoot Bordeaux bottles that occasionally grace the “cheap seats” (wine stacked in aisles, not in wood bins). And we’ve had plenty of Ribera winners over …
This is a lovely Cotes de Provence Rose for only $9.99. The blend is 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, so it has a little pepper and spice, which I really enjoy. The wine pours a nice salmon color and kicks off a little of that pepper on the nose. In the mouth though is …
