An interesting trend we’re seeing is more of the Kirkland bottles arriving earlier in the year than they have in prior vintages. This is another example of a wine where we reviewed the prior vintage just 7 months ago. The new (and very delicious) Kirkland Brunello came in a few months early. Toscana a little …
White Burgundy on a budget. That’s what you get with wines from Saint-Veran. And as an added bonus here we have a bottle from one of our favorite producers, Joseph Drouhin. Saint-Veran is Burgundy’s southernmost appellation and slightly overlaps with the northern part of Beaujolais. Wines from this area are 100% Chardonnay, and as you …
We went into this Costco trip specifically looking to find the new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages that we heard is starting to appear in stores, but came out with one of our most highly anticipated wines of the year. And it did not disappoint. Seeing this bottle arrive in September is really throwing the …
The latest version of the Bordeaux boxed set is hitting stores now. We always enjoy seeing what’s offered here as they are usually incredible values. It’s been a little while since we posted about this box. Here is our last write up. We are putting this in the news section as we likely won’t have …
Here’s a new addition to the Pinot Noir aisle, at least around the stores we frequent in the Atlanta area. And we’re really happy we found it. It’s hard to find quality Pinot Noir under $20 but this one hits the mark. We just reviewed the latest vintage of the Four Graces Pinot from Willamette …
We’re back in the cheap seats again, and we found another one that is pretty good, very drinkable, and of course, inexpensive. Just a few posts ago, we highlighted this $5.99 Bordeaux find that we rated 87 points. This Bordeaux Superieur is right in that same ballpark. And once again a good bottle to serve …
Here’s a Costco staple Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s famed Marlborough region that we had yet to post about. Almost hard to believe. A couple years ago we posted about Oyster Bay’s Pinot Noir which is also delicious, and frequently mentioned to be among the best wine buys at Costco. We don’t disagree. It’s a …
This is a little $6 sleeper hanging out in the cheap seats (the aisles of wine, not the wooden boxes). We’ve written before about the hidden wines you can find slated in between stacks of Meiomi Pinot and Kirkland Malbec. While this bottle did pull down a 90 point score from Wine Enthusiast, it’s not …
Everybody loves to see the special limited time discount signs in the Costco wine aisle, and here’s a new one we found on a tasty little Australian GSM blend. It was particularly fitting as we just concluded a trip to Australia and enjoyed some wonderful wines, both red and white, from all over the country. …
We always enjoy tasting new vintages of wines we love and the Four Graces Pinot is one of those bottles we go back to again and again. This is just superb Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley every time we taste it, and the new 2022 vintage hitting Costco shelves did not disappoint. We have previously …
It looks like this is going to be more of an August wine arrival now compared to end of year as it had been for a while. But now two years in a row we’re getting it early. The price is staying the same as the prior vintage at $13.99 which is good since it …
One of our favorite Kirkland wines, and many readers’ favorite too, is back in stores with the new 2022 vintage. Right on time too as we reviewed the 2021 vintage August 12 of last year. The price stayed the same at $22.99, which is good since it had climbed up to $23.99, and fell back …
We always love finding and tasting new Italian white wines at Costco, especially this time of the year. There’s not a lot of information on the bottle so we poked around a bit online. This wine heralds from the Veneto region of Italy and is comprised of 70% Garganega, 30% Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Garganega …
We’ve had a few readers bring this bottle to our attention, and it’s a Costco Pinot that we have yet to review for the site. We had the chance to visit Etude winery several years ago and taste many of the different Pinots they produce; enjoyed them very much so it’s nice to see this …
Here’s a new Chianti Classico hitting Costco shelves that caught our eye. Regular readers know we adore these wines and find them to be tremendous values right now in the wine world. And this one is right on the mark. Costco’s price is $22.99 and that seems to be about the same as we found …
