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 […]
2019 Ravanal Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
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 […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
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 […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel
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 […]
2018 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino
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 […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Moscato d'Asti
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 […]
2014 Vina Olabarri Gran Reserva Rioja
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 […]
Kirkland Signature Champagne Brut
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 […]
2021 Tooth & Nail Cabernet Sauvignon
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 […]
Decoy Brut Cuvee Sparkling Wine
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 […]
Our Gift to You: Free French Wine eBook
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 […]
2019 Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon
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 […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
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. […]
2021 Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino
This was an instant drop in the cart for us. Just the kind of wine we want to see land in Costco. First off, Rosso di Montalcino is what you want to see for a ridiculous quality to price ratio, and that's what happened here. Yes, not an inexpensive wine at $22.99, but it's $30 […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Gigondas
A popular Kirkland bottle is back with the latest 2021 vintage. We have been enjoying this one the past few years, and it remains a killer buy on juice from a premier region you just can't access for the same price anywhere else. So the price staying at $13.99 was a huge bonus. A couple […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Bordeaux Superieur
Here’s the new Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur arriving in stores right on time. For a while it was a Jan – Feb wine, but lately it’s been hitting in December. That’s good news if you’re looking for an inexpensive red to stock up on for the holidays. We instantly went to the price, $6.99 again, which […]
2021 Grounded Sauvignon Blanc by Josh Phelps
Obviously the name Phelps caught our attention with this bottle. And the price tag too at only $8.99. Online we're seeing this bottle sell for up to $18 (Wine.com). Retail seems to be $15. And once we got tasting, the wine is pretty good, so $8.99 is a steal. The wine has pulled down a […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Saint-Julien Bordeaux
This was a surprise and delight. The inaugural 2019 vintage of this new Kirkland offering was in stores in January of this year, so we weren't on the lookout for the next one quite yet. But what a nice surprise, along with the price going down, albeit only a few cents, but we like it […]
2022 Allan Scott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Here's a new Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough that popped up in our Costco store that looked interesting. We noted in our recent review of the delicious Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker (a wine that surpassed expectations) that we hadn't reviewed many of the New Zealand offerings arriving in Costco. On the heels of the […]
2023 Costco Wine Thanksgiving Picks
Thanksgiving is here upon us again, and we're going to look through some recent reviews to try to pick out some good wines you can (hopefully) find at Costco for the big meal. This is always a fun list (here's last years), and we tend to go a little all over the place in our […]
2019 Chateau du Lac Cotes de Bourg Bordeaux
Long time readers know that we love finding and tasting these "forgotten wines" that end up in the cheap seats (the rows of stacked wine boxes vs the wooden boxes). We call them the forgotten wines because you can often find wines from lesser known, or talked about regions, stuffed in between the usual suspects. […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
We were thrilled to see the 2021 vintage of this bottle hit stores. As far as we can tell, there was not a 2020 vintage, likely due to the Napa fires. So our fingers were crossed that a 2021 vintage would arrive, and here it is. Among the Kirkland wines from Napa, this ranks among […]
2020 Chateau Fombrauge Saint Emilion Bordeaux
Here's a new Saint Emilion Grand Cru that showed up at our Costco, and it's one that we've tasted and always enjoyed in the past. Usually a solid wine at a great value, and that's exactly what we found in the 2020 vintage. Costco's price was $35.99, which is totally fair for a wine of […]
2021 Villa Sparina Barbera
This is the second Barbera we’ve found at Costco in just a handful of weeks. What a treat to keep finding these (last one was delicious). If this bottle looks familiar, it’s because this is the same producer of the wonderful Gavi we found at Costco earlier this year. This short, stout bottle must be […]
2022 Banfi La Pettegola Vermentino
This snazzy label caught our eye, and we were surprised when the wine turned out to be a Vermentino. Especially considering the $12.99 price tag at Costco. What a find. Online this wine is selling for $20-22, and it doesn't always come with the special bottle design. We didn't find a lot of ratings for […]
Our Highest Rated Costco Wines of 2023
Hello Costco Wine fans. It's one of our favorite times of the year when we look back at the highest rated wines we tasted and reviewed from Costco for 2023. In case you've missed this list in the past, here are some links to our stories from 2022, 2021, and 2020. We need to put our […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Cotes du Rhone Villages
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 […]
2019 Chateau Gloria Saint Julien Bordeaux
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. […]
2018 Ego Bodegas Infinito Monastrell
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 […]
2020 Bodegas Portia Roble Ribera del Duero
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 […]
2020 Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d'Asti
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 […]
2017 Vina Pomal Rioja Reserva
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, […]
2017 Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva
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 […]
Around the World in 24 Wines Box - Same As New 2023 Wine Advent Calendar?
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 […]
5 Essential Costco Wine Shopping Tips
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 […]
2019 E Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge
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 […]
2022 Hanna Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley
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 […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Toscana
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, […]
2022 Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker Sauvignon Blanc
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 […]
2021 Chateau Reynon Sauvignon Blanc Bordeaux
We don't see too many Bordeaux blancs in the Costco wine aisles and it's too bad because they are really fun whites, usually inexpensive, and perfect when the weather is super hot like it is right now across much of the country. Costco's price was $14.99, which seems pretty good since it looks to be […]
