This is the second year in a row that the Kirkland Barolo is arriving in the June / July timeframe. For the first few years of its existence, it hit stores in the first quarter of the year. So we would get a little nervous when it didn't show up. Regardless, we're happy to see […]
2022 King Estate Pinot Gris
This is a Costco staple white wine that we know a lot of readers have enjoyed. And we have too; we just haven't reviewed it on the site in a very long time (2012 vintage). King Estate is a solid Oregon producer; their Acrobat Pinot Gris was a Costco mainstay for a while, and was […]
New Kirkland Vacqueyras
Hi everyone. This marks our first "News" post. We want CostcoWineBlog.com to be your go to source for all the latest Costco wine info. We have an amazing reader base all around the world, and we constantly get emails about new wine finds, such as this Vacqueyras from Kirkland. So we added a new menu […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio Friuli
We've skipped a couple vintages of this one. Not so much on purpose but rather it just seems to slide by the way side a bit. But for what it is, and at this price point, we know quite a few readers who buy it often and really enjoy it. So we're back after a […]
2018 Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva
This $12.99 Ribera del Duero was one of our top Costco wine finds last year, and it made an appearance on our annual Best of the Year list. That was the 2017 vintage which we rated 92 points. And now the 2018 vintage is hitting Costco stores, and it is coming in at the same […]
2022 Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses Sauvignon Blanc
It's always nice to find a new wine from Gerard Bertrand at Costco. We've had so many good reds, rose and whites from them over the years, and they just consistently deliver with each bottle. Our two most recent reviews of their wines were the Saint-Chinian An 1877, and the An 825 Cremant de Limoux […]
2021 Koyle Costa La Flor Sauvignon Blanc
Here's a new one we have yet to try, and it's an organic Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, so a little outside the standard lineup in the white aisle, which we are always on the lookout for. The price is very competitive, coming in at $11.99 at Costco, when online we see it going for around […]
2023 Torre Oria Rose Pinot Noir Spain
This was kind of an interesting new find in the Rose aisle, and we figured we give it a shot to let you know what to expect. This is Rose from Spain made from Pinot Noir; not a varietal you see all the time in Spanish Rose. Often these Spanish rose, and Spanish bubbly rose, […]
How To Make Really Delicious and Super Inexpensive Margaritas From Costco
Time for a little change of pace for the Wine Blog. At a friend, and fellow Costco lover's party, we had the chance to play around with the Kirkland Golden Margarita and Kirkland Tequila Reposado. While we're not tequila or margarita aficionados, we'd like to think we can taste a good drink when we have […]
2023 Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose
We love seeing this one arrive in stores in May. That trend started with the last vintage, and it allows us to enjoy this bottle all summer long. Previously it was hitting shelves in July. We also love seeing the price stay the same year to year at $7.99. That's an absolute steal for a […]
2022 Domaine Mickael Mothe Chablis
Here's a new Chablis for us hitting stores right now. We always enjoy tasting through these, and especially love drinking them outside when the weather is warm. The Kirkland Chablis arrive in February this year, so likely long gone from most stores. We found this bottle to be a nice replacement, same price, same rating, […]
2021 Harvey and Harriet Red Blend
Just a couple of months ago, we found the latest vintage of one of our favorite California wines, My Favorite Neighbor. It was back in Costco stores for the third straight vintage and we were pumped to find it, scoring it 94 points. The wine is produced by Booker vineyards and runs $47 at Costco. […]
2021 Bodegas Manzanos 111 Cabernet Sauvignon Navarra
A regular reader of the site who is good at sniffing out Costco wine values alerted us to this bottle, on sale with a limited time discount (thanks Anne). Costco's normal price is $11.99 which is already nice since retail is around $17 and online the bottle goes for $15. Until 5/19 though, you can […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The Alexander Valley Cabernet from Kirkland seems to slip past us some years. It's been around for ten years and while we're not sure if they produced a vintage every single year, we've only tasted a handful. One thing we see is the price is the same as it has been since the 2012 vintage […]
2022 J de Villebois Pouilly-Fume
Sauvignon blanc fans who haven't explored the terroir of Pouilly-Fume are really missing out. Here's a nice place to start that exploration for $20. We've tasted and reviewed a few bottles from J de Villebois, including another very good Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine and their basic Pinot Noir which was decent. We found those wines […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Back again, and we say thank you. This Suscol Vineyard Cabernet from the Kirkland label is a relatively new wine in the Kirkland portfolio, but one that we've always enjoyed. Sometimes these special wines will fizzle out after a few vintages, so it's nice to see this one back in stock, and after tasting this […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
One of our favorite Kirkland wines is hitting shelves earlier than ever. The last vintage appeared at the end of May which was a month earlier than the vintage before that. And we'll take it. The Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is always a fun one to explore, and this vintage lands among the highest rated […]
A Visit to Costco in Japan
Curious what Costco looks like in Japan, and how their wine selection compares to the U.S.? So are we, and we had a chance to visit a Costco in Kawasaki Japan, just south of Tokyo. It turned out to be a fun trip with a few interesting surprises. Let’s go. We heard Costco stores in Japan […]
2021 Rossofouco Barbera D’Asti
We’re seeing some new Italian reds hitting Costco stores, and it’s not the usual regions and varietals, which is exciting for us wine nerds. Just in the past couple months, we found an Aglianico, Barbera D’Alba and Rosso di Toscana that were all very tasty and available at a great Costco price. Now we have […]
2020 Luis Duarte Rubrica Vinho Regional Alentejano
Absolute deliciousness from this red blend from Portugal. Regular readers know we love the quality and value you can find in Portuguese wines today, and we are always hoping to see more of them at Costco. We were introduced to this bottle from an importer / distributor we've met through this site. We typically don't […]
2022 Pazo de Villarei Albarino
An easy buy here on this Albarino we've never seen at Costco before and coming in at $13.99. Spain just overdelivers in so many ways and Albarino is one of them. These are such fun white wines and a nice change of pace from the usual white wine suspects. Online this wine is ranging from […]
2022 Comte de la Chevaliere Sancerre
It’s always nice to find new bottles of Sancerre arriving at Costco, especially as the much-loved Kirkland Sancerre seems to now be gone or near gone at most places we’ve seen. This bottle is a couple bucks more but well worth it for Sancerre fans. And Costco’s $21.99 price tag represents a nice discount compared to […]
2019 Vincent & Gabriel Fournier Les Sizies Beaune 1er Cru
Burgundy time, and we found a new one that looks interesting. A Beaune 1er Cru at Costco for $42.99 and we scooped it up right away. There's not much information online about this bottle. Turns out, the Costco placard hit the nail right on the head saying "a little muted at first but opening w/ […]
2019 D’Angelo Aglianico Del Vulture
Regular readers have heard us ask for new grapes and regions to hit Costco shelves, and here’s exactly what we’re looking for. Aglianico is a key grape varietal in southern Italy that is starting to get the attention it deserves in the US now at wine shops and restaurants. We’re seeing it way more now than […]
2016 Bodegas Casa Primicia Vina Diezmo RV Reserva Rioja
We've never tasted this one before and wasn't sure what to expect, but a $12 Rioja Reserva with seven years of age on it at Costco, needed to be checked out. And glad we did. This is a stunning wine at a ridiculously low price. Online we see it going for as high as $42. […]
2021 My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon
Very nice to see this one make an appearance in Costco for its third year in a row. Long time readers know we adore this wine, going 95 points on the 2019 vintage, and another 95 points on the 2020 vintage. We are seeing a small $1 price increase, but Costco's price still remains well […]
2019 Domaine du Grapillon d'Or 1806 Merlot - Caladoc
What an interesting find this turned out to be. We were going to buy it anyway just because the two varietal blend included Caladoc, which is something you don't see that often. Caladoc is a crossing of Grenache and Malbec primarily found in Southern France. But the real kicker was when we turned the bottle […]
2022 J de Villebois Touraine Sauvignon Blanc
This was one of the biggest no brainer wine picks of all time. A Sauvignon Blanc from France's Touraine appellation for $12.99. Touraine is in the Loire Valley of France, which fans of Loire will instantly think Sancerre when they think Sauvignon Blanc from the region. And as they should; we adore Sancerre. But Sancerre, […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva
Here's one of our favorite Kirkland wines, making a slightly early appearance this year with the brand new 2019 vintage. We know this is a reader favorite, and it's a consistent value buy every year. The price is staying the same year to year at $7.89; we love to see that. And look at our […]
2019 Colossal Reserva Red Blend
Here's a great value play you can score at Costco when you're looking for a dependable red that won't break the bank. Usually in those cases, we fall to Spain or South America, but Portugal should never be overlooked. There are amazing wines coming out of there at prices that would be impossible to match […]
2021 Viberti La Gemella Barbera d'Alba
Here's a great Italian wine find right now in the aisles at Costco. Right away, we see that price ending in .49, which we've written about several times before. That indicates a special Costco price, and that's indeed what we have here. This bottle is $19.99 at Wine.com, and hovers around $16-$17 most other places […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Malbec Mendoza
The new vintages of popular Kirkland bottles keep rolling in. Next up, we have the Kirkland Mendoza Malbec, which is usually a good pick on the affordable side of things. And once again, the price remains $6.99 (same since the 2015 vintage). Can't beat that. We also have the same winemaker, Sergio Case, from Broquel, […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Sancerre
We had several readers tip us off that this bottle was arriving in Costco stores, and we were thrilled to find it on our last trip. We bought three right away, but maybe should have picked up more. This one will sell out quickly. As you can see this is the 2022 vintage, and we […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Red Blend
We're getting a fresh batch of Kirkland wines hitting stores, and we've heard from readers there are several more out there, so hopefully we can get reviews up here for everyone. The Kirkland Napa Red Blend has really come a long way over the years. Since it's earliest intro as the 2014 Kirkland Meritage, the […]
2020 Madame de Beaucaillou Bordeaux
Very interesting find here, and we had to do some poking around online to figure out the full story. One of our all time favorite wines and favorite properties in Bordeaux is Ducru-Beaucaillou. We had the opportunity to visit and meet with their team a few years back, and every single thing about the winery, […]
2021 Seghesio Zinfandel
A few weeks back we reviewed the Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel, and we mentioned how much we'd love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. And then bam, look what shows up at our Costco shortly after. Ask and you shall receive. We should have asked for a lower price while we […]
2019 Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
What a surprise seeing this bottle show up at Costco. This is from Duckhorn's WA state property at Red Mountain, and long time readers will know we love these wines. Bang for the buck they are blazing a new path forward for great juice in the US right now. We're getting a pretty buy on […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Series Premier Cru Chablis
Finding this bottle is always a highlight at the beginning of the year. We've been big fans, particularly of the last couple vintages. A little bit of a surprise though. We are getting a price increase, up to $18.99 from a previous $17.49. Still, for Premier Cru Chablis coming in under $20 is a good […]
2020 Chateau Picadis Bordeaux Superieur
Ok, we have a new Bordeaux Superieur in the cheap seats. Long time readers know we love exploring these wines. The cheap seats refer to the aisles of stacked wines, versus those in the wooden boxes. In the cheap seats you never know what you're going to find. More than anything, the wines in the […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva
Here's the newest vintage of the Kirkland Chianti Classico hitting stores now. We had a little surprise with a Kirkland Chianti Classico Gran Selezione making a debut in Costco last month. While priced a little higher than the standard Chianti Classico that Gran Selezione was delicious and we've still seen it still lingering in stores, […]
