I’m always on the look out for a good inexpensive Malbec to add to my go-to wine list, and I was hoping this bottle for $12.99 would be that wine. But it came up a little short. This wine is still very young and just too simple for me, even at the fairly reasonable price tag. …

These Super Tuscans that Costco carries are almost always good buys and that’s why I dropped this $12.99 bottle in the cart. It turned out to be exactly what I expected, maybe even a step up from expectations, as it’s a perfect, every day red to have on hand for almost any cuisine, any time …
As I do every year, I want to present a list of the wines we bought at Costco and rated the highest throughout 2016. It’s always a little tricky because many of these wines will be long gone from your local warehouse, but you never know what you’ll find if you’re on the lookout. Sometimes …
Regardless of how you’re spending this Memorial Day weekend, whether you’re boating, camping, picnicking, hiking, grilling or just sitting around in the backyard, if you’re a reader of this site then a glass of wine is also likely somewhere in those plans. So I wanted to list a few good, summery, warm weather wines that …
Just a heads up, I’m working on a book about Spanish wines as part of my Decoding Wine Series, so I’m going to be scooping up as many as I can find at Costco and in particular, will be looking for those from smaller, more diverse regions within Spain. I am a big fan of …
With New Year’s around the corner I thought I’d try one of the simple, inexpensive bubbly bottles that I’ve seen consistently at a few of the Costco stores near me. The other bubbly that Costco carries that might be a New Year’s winner is the Kirkland Signature Champagne, which is an actual Champagne and quite …
Good California Cabs are hard to come by for under $15 (although at Costco you can do ok), but when you make that jump to the next price bracket ($20-$30) you really get a big jump up in quality. I’ve always found the Beringer Knights Valley Cabs to be a strong buy in this range and at …
First off, thanks so much for visiting and supporting this site. It’s been seven years since we started this site, and it began completely on a whim as I posted random stories online about buying wine at Costco. At that point I never thought it would have the readership and following that it does now. So …
This is a signature Sonoma Russian River Pinot at a pretty good price at Costco. I bought it for $15.99, but I’ve seen it going closer to $20 at most other outlets. I thought it was right in line at the $16 mark, not more, not less. It’s a light and easy drinking wine. A …
At the end of every year we look back at the previous 12 months of reviews and assemble a list of the highest rated wines we enjoyed from Costco. But first let’s take a quick look back at 2014, which was another big year for the site. We moved to a new hosting platform and responsive design …
If you are an impatient wine drinker, you don’t want to read this review. But for those of us willing to wait a bit for the good stuff, then you need to check out the Sparrow Hawk 2011 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Under $20 Napa Cabs….that are good….are hard to find. In the past, I’ve relied …
Since it’s right around mid-year, I wanted to take a minute to outline the wines that we’ve really enjoyed so far in 2014. Below is a list of wines that we scored 90 points or above, and that we highly recommend you keep an eye out for at Costco. Most of these will be gone, …
I’ve been running this site for several years now and it amazes me how it’s grown over the years. The idea for this site originated from a simple blog post I made about buying wine at Costco for a now defunct website that I used to maintain with some friends. That article generated 50X the …
