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 […]
2020 Acacia Pinot Noir Carneros
We always love seeing those limited time discount signs when we're approaching the Costco wine aisle. From a distance we could tell this one was in the Pinot section, and we planned on buying it no matter what. Turned out it happened to be a bottle we had yet to review (or so we thought) […]
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. […]
2020 Bouchard Aine & Fils Grand Conseiller Pinot Noir
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 […]
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 […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Carneros Pinot Noir
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 […]
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 […]
2021 Cuatro Rayas Verdejo Rueda
Longtime readers will know we regularly sing praises around the value wine buys you can find from Spain and Portugal right now. Here's one of our favorite value priced Spanish white varietals, Verdejo, coming in at only $7.99. It's no surprise as often these wines are under $10. They are also among the best under […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This marks the third vintage of this Kirkland wine that we've tasted, and it's been pretty good in the past. Any Napa Valley Cabernet for $15 needs to be properly explored. And we expect a lot from the Kirkland portfolio of wines, so each year we go in with decent expectations. We've typically been happy, […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
We were really happy to see this bottle land in Costco stores this week. And instantly had to note the 2021 vintage. Turns out, we never found the 2020 vintage which should have arrived in August of last year (2022). So the last time we saw this wine was in August of 2021 with the 2019 vintage. Glad […]
2017 Chateau Bouscasse Les Jardins Philosophiques
For years, we’ve been asking for Costco to bring in more unique white wines and boy have they delivered upon that request in 2023. This one really caught us by surprise, and there’s a lot to unpack. First is the varietal make up of this unique white blend from southwest France. It consists of 70% Petit […]
2021 DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
It’s been a couple years since we last reviewed the DAOU Cabernet for this site, but we’ve tasted several vintages since then as this is just a go-to bottle whenever you see it. Huge bang for the buck, and that was once again the case with this 2021 vintage at Costco for $20.99. That’s the […]
2020 Chateau de Vaudieu Chateauneuf-du-pape
We love finding and tasting new Chateauneuf-du-pape from Costco, and here’s a new addition to the wine aisles that turned out to be a huge score. Outside of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape that is priced at $20, it’s hard to find good Chateauneuf at a reasonable price. Usually you have to spend $40-$50+ to get the highly […]
2022 Bodegas Muga Rioja Blanco
Here's another new and interesting bottle of white that popped up in our Costco. We've had some good luck this summer finding some new additions outside of the usual suspects. Muga makes a range of Riojas and we've enjoyed them in the past; usually fairly priced as this white bottle was at Costco. Costco's price […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Right on schedule (summer time) here's the new Kirkland Columbia Valley Cabernet. We are finding this bottle right on the heels of the latest Kirkland Columbia Valley Red Blend that we thoroughly enjoyed. So you might be wondering which one to pick, and we'll make our recommendation here in a minute. We did notice a […]
2020 Vinha da Coutada Velha Red Blend
This bottle was first recommended by a reader who seems to always turn up good wine values, especially those from Europe. And we also heard about the limited time Costco discount that brings the price of the bottle down to $6.99. This limited time $5 off the standard $11.99 price tag ends August 8th, so […]
2021 Petit Marquis de Pennautier Blanc
We have to say, the summer of 2023 is seeing the widest selection of new and interesting white wines at Costco that we’ve experienced while running this site. At least in the stores around the Atlanta area, and we hope you are finding some of these too. Here is another one, a little outside the […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Red Wine
A little surprised to see this one hitting stores so early. The prior 2020 vintage arrived in December of 2022. We gave it a respectable 88 points, and typically enjoy these Kirkland wines that come in from Washington state. There have been a hodge podge of different Kirkland red blends from Washington state over the […]
2017 Casa Santos Lima Reserva Red Blend
This is just the bottle we hope to find when cruising through the Costco aisles. Portugal is a mecca for huge value buys and this one fits the bill. So we scooped it up right away; probably should have bought more. Only $12.99, but drinks like it cost twice that. 91 points from Wine Enthusiast, […]
2020 Simonnet Febvre Saint-Bris Sauvignon
Finding this bottle at Costco helps close the story of the mystery Chablis we encountered a few weeks ago. In a rare mistake somewhere along the supply chain (and isolated to just our store we believe), bottles of the Simonnet Febvre Chablis were put in bins at Costco where this Sauvignon Blanc should have been. […]
2020 Reif Estate Grand Reserve Vidal Icewine
Here's something a little different that popped up, and we're glad we were able to taste it, because it's a wine that you hear about occasionally, but perhaps not enough. This is an icewine from Canada, that is aroma and flavor packed, big in the mouth, sweet in the finish, perfect for a night cap […]
2021 Bernard Magrez Le Prelat Cotes du Rhone Villages Blanc
This Rhone Valley white was a pleasant surprise for us on our last trip to Costco. We are seeing more and more unique white wines finally hitting stores, and it’s really exciting to be able to taste through them. Here we have a Cotes du Rhone Villages white selling for $13. Regular readers know we […]
2021 Gustave Lorentz Riesling Alsace Reserve
Here's another new white wine to hit Costco that we were pumped to find. We just reviewed this excellent Gavi, and like we mentioned in that review, it's refreshing to see new bottles like this arriving in stores. Sometimes the white section can get a little stale with the same wines, at least around the […]
2021 Headline Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
This bottle was an easy drop in the cart once we saw that huge limited time Costco discount. And the wine turned out to be pretty good too. First off we love Pinot from Sonoma Coast (Flowers is a favorite one that comes to mind). And then the massive discounted price bringing this bottle down to $11.99. […]
