It’s always fun to run into one of these Langhe Nebbiolos. It’s not an everyday occurance at Costco, maybe a handful a year. The last one we tasted and reviewed was very nice. As we mentioned in that review, outside of the amazing Kirkland Barolo, finding good Barolo under $30 is hard to come by. …
It’s been 30 days since we were alerted to the existence of this new wine in the Kirkland Portfolio. During that time we have driven to five different Costco stores around Atlanta (multiple times) looking for it, and finally found it last night, thanks to reader JJ for giving us a heads up that it …
It’s been two years since we last tasted and reviewed this bottle. That was the 2019 vintage which we gave 87 points and were impressed at the quality for the very low $6.99 price point. That puts it right on par with the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages, which is also $6.99, and we’ve scored …
A fun new find at Costco from a favorite producer. This is the Chardonnay from Wines of Substance, a Charles Smith wine brand. You might know Charles Smith from his Kirkland K Vine series, and you might remember Wines of Substance from their very delicious CS Cabernet we tasted a while back. Consistently, high quality …
This was a new one for us that popped up with a hefty limited time discount that obviously caught our eye. That’s $10 off the already very good Costco price. We found this bottle retailing for $45, and listing elsewhere including Wine Enthusiast for $35. That publication also scored the wine 88 points, which we …
It’s been five years since we’ve seen this wine grace Costco shelves, and it’s really nice to see it back again. We don’t think we’ve spent more on a single bottle of Malbec since the last time we bought this one, which was the 2013 vintage that we rated a solid 93 points. Most Malbec …
Here’s a new Sauvignon Blanc hitting Costco stores that’s a fresh change of pace. That’s because it’s from South Africa, a region we don’t see too often in the Costco wine aisles. And that’s a shame because there are some delicious wines coming out of there, white, rose and red, frequently at very good prices. …
An interesting find here. First off, one of the largest limited time discounts we’ve ever seen, percentage-wise. We had several readers alert us to this one, so we were excited when we saw it in stores by us. Costco’s regular price is $19.99, and until July 14, it’s reduced by 50% to only $9.99. On …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hello Costco wine fans. Today we have the latest vintage of the Kirkland Carneros Pinot Noir. Historically, not a favorite of the blog among the Kirkland Pinot Noirs. We had a few vintages of this bottle we liked some time ago but lately it’s been falling a little flat. It’s too bad since the price …
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 …
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 …
