The new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages started hitting stores a couple weeks ago, right on schedule for an October release. We went to a few stores to track it down, but didn’t find it until the other day. First thing we wanted to see is that nice $6.99 price tag continue with this next …
It was a surprise to see this Bordeaux land in Costco stores. As many of you know we are serious Bordeaux lovers, and Chateau Gloria is consistently a winner in our books. The price at Costco is just what we wanted too: $34.99. It’s at least $45-50 almost everywhere else, even $54.97 at Total Wine. …
We were curious how this one would show. It’s a new offering in the Pinot Noir aisle, which desperately needs some new additions, at least around us. The price was certainly right at only $11.99. It’s hard to find good Pinot in that price range, and this one held up pretty well. The label carries …
Alright, we are hitting a bunch of Spanish wine winners from Costco all right in a row. We had the Portia Ribera del Duero, the Vina Pomal Rioja Reserva (a CostcoWineBlog Top Pick), and the Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva (also a Top Pick of our site). And we’ve sung the praises for …
We found this wine on a trip to Costco three days ago, and unfortunately the limited time discount expired on that day (Oct 1). But what an exciting find. A Ribera del Duero for under $10. Could we be on a streak with these affordable wines from such a great area? We just reviewed this …
We love wines from Piedmont, but you don’t always see them at Costco, and not always at such a compelling price as this Barbera from a big name producer. So we were pleasantly surprised to see this bottle in stores for $13.59. Note the $.59 at the end. In case you missed our recent story …
Just on the heels of tasting and reviewing this delicious 2017 Ribera del Duero we found at Costco for $12.99, we came across this very similar Rioja and had to give it a try. This Rioja is also a 2017 vintage and at Costco for $12.99. It was fun to taste them in close vicinity, …
We had a good feeling about this bottle, and it lived up to it all the way. A 2017 Ribera del Duero Reserva at Costco for $12.99. Love it. Fans of Spanish wines like Ribera, Toro or Rioja shouldn’t wait a second to scoop some of these up, especially at this price. We feel this …
The Pinot Noir in Kirkland’s wine portfolio can really be hit or miss. We’d say the Willamette Valley Pinot might be the most consistent. The Russian River is all over the place. This Carneros wine was a favorite for a while but came in a little lackluster with the last vintage. The prices do remain …
We heard from several readers that the Costco Wine Advent Calendar box for 2023 was at Costco so made a quick trip to the store looking for it, only to find a different, but very similar, box. So of course we had to pick it up for further exploration and to report back here. And …
Let’s take a quick break in the action for a little something different, our top five tips for buying wine at Costco. We like to think we’re pretty good at this, having purchased and reviewed over 1000 bottles of wine from Costco over the last decade plus. So what are some of things we do …
This is one of our top go-to bottles at Costco, and while the window when it hits stores seems to vary year to year, the quality of this wine is remarkably consistent. Costco has maintained the price too at $12.99, which is what’s it’s been since 2015 when we found it for $11.99. So inflation …
We hate to admit it, but we kind of forgot about this wine until we saw it again on our most recent trip to Costco. It’s been three years since we last tasted, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we were pumped to see the new 2022 hit stores. Costco’s price has crept up just a …
It was a nice surprise to run into this Kirkland wine a little earlier than normal. Last year we didn’t see until October. Good news right off the bat is that the price actually went down $1 to $13.99. That’s a good move in our opinion, as this has historically been a good, not great, …
It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Costco, and this one popped up on our last visit and was a wine that we had always wanted to try. It’s a collaboration between Sarah Jessica Parker and New Zealand winery Invivo. There is also a French Rose as part …
