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, …
This was a new find for us at Costco, a Tuscan blend from 2019 for $14.99 that looked interesting and worth a taste. Retail price on this bottle is around $20-$25 so we like Costco’s price a lot. Also a 92 point callout from Wine Advocate. We couldn’t determine the exact varietal makeup after poking …
This was quite the surprise. Not only a limited time discount, but featuring a Gran Reserva Cabernet from Chile; not something we see everyday in Costco. But we’re glad we found it, and we continue to believe that places like Chile, and Portugal; Spain too and Australia is on the up and up – all …
We love finding new wines from new producers in the Pinot section, and here is an interesting one that caught our eye. This is from Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains, southwest of Portland, near the mecca of Oregon Pinot. And we’re big fans of this area, not only because we are UO Duck alum, but the Pinot …
It’s always an exciting day when the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab hits stores, and we’ll tell you right off the bat, this is a vintage not to be missed. Despite all the inflationary pressures out there, the price on this wine remains $19.99, which is absolutely amazing for an Oakville wine, and …
This is always a fun Kirkland bottle to explore, and we don’t see a lot of Zinfandel at Costco, at least in stores near us. We really would love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. It’s been gone for a long time, and was a favorite of the blog. The price on this Kirkland …
This popular Kirkland wine usually appears in Q4, so we were a little late finding it around us, although we did hear from several readers who found it last month. But here it is, and it’s back with the same $19.99 price tag we love. You just can’t beat scoring a good Brunello at that …
Here’s a relatively new addition to the Kirkland wine portfolio that we’ve been putting off on tasting and reviewing, mostly because we prefer less sweet wines. But this one turned out to be a real winner. We know a lot of readers may enjoy this style, and the price is right at only $7.99. So …
This is quite the find in the Costco wine aisle, and just what we are looking for when picking wines to review for this site. Here’s a Gran Reserva Rioja with nine years of age built in, and 94 points from Wine Enthusiast for $18.99. And it was amazing. Gran Reserva is the highest designation …
It’s been a little while since we’ve posted specifically about the Kirkland Champagne, which remains one of our favorite Costco wine buys, and an insane value for real French Champagne. It’s appeared in several of our feature stories, but we wanted to revisit it with a focused review. The last time we posted was back …
This was a new find at Costco but a wine that we’ve tasted at a restaurant before, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. Long time readers will know that we are big fans of wines from Paso Robles, so we were thrilled to be able to taste this one again and get it up …
We typically find the Decoy line of wines from Duckhorn to give a decent bang for the buck, and we’re seeing quite a few of them pop up at Costco nowadays. The last one we reviewed was the Sauvignon Blanc, which was pretty good. We were bigger fans of the Sonoma red blend, which we …
Happy holidays everyone. Hope you all are enjoying some great Costco wines. As many of you may know, we wrote a book series to help people better understand and navigate some of the world’s top wine regions, including France, Italy and Spain. We want to offer a special deal for Costco Wine Blog readers: a …
We have to go all the way back to December of 2016 to find our last review of this wine, although we’ve seen it multiple times at Costco since then and tasted it quite a few more times too. We must have overlooked how long it had been since we posted about it. And it’s a …
Here’s an exciting new addition to the Kirkland wine family, and we were pumped when readers told us this one had started to appear in their stores, and we were finally able to find it near us. This is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, which is the top of classification scale for Chianti, above Riserva. …
