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 […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Barolo
Finally...the new vintage of the Kirkland Barolo hits stores. We typically see this bottle arrive in the first few months of the year, so we've been on the look out. Something caught our eye right away and that is the vintage, 2019. Last February we tasted and reviewed the 2017 vintage of this wine. So […]
Cellar Selection: 2014 Kirkland Signature Pauillac Bordeaux
A few weeks ago we published a huge update to our popular post "The Definitive Guide to Costco's Kirkland Wines" and in the process of combing through all the Kirkland reviews of past and present, it brought to light an old classic bottle that we knew we had in the cellar still. We're talking about […]
2021 Villa Sparina Gavi
Regular readers will know we love finding white wine varietals at Costco that are a little outside the norm, and wines from Gavi fit the bill perfectly. Too many times, we pursue the Costco white wine section, and find all the usual suspects and incarnations of Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Gavi originates from […]
2019 Condado de Haza Crianza Ribera del Duero
Condado de Haza is a name in Spanish winemaking that you need to commit to memory. It’s been a while since we’ve seen one of their wines appear at Costco. The last time was all the way back in 2016 with the 2012 vintage. Since then, their wines have been a go to choice for us when […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay Sonoma
Here comes the newest vintage of the Kirkland Russian River Chardonnay. This is always an interesting bottle, finding fans some years, while coming up a little short in other years. The ridiculously attractive $12.99 price tag stays for another vintage, which is great news. There is just not a lot, if any, Russian River Chardonnay […]
2020 Simonnet-Febvre Chablis
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this review we were notified that the wrong bottle was sent from the distributor to our Costco store, likely in a one off mistake. So while the Simonnet Febvre Chablis that you see pictured here rang up with this price and item number, it was not the right bottle. Rather it […]
2018 Davis Bynum River West Vineyard Chardonnay
We were excited to get into this new addition to the Costco white wine section. Right off the bat the price caught our attention. $13.99 for Russian River Chardonnay? Usually you only find a Kirkland Signature bottle hitting that benchmark. Some later Internet searches turned up quite a bit of information on this bottle. Retail […]
2018 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva
Here we go with back to back reviews of the latest vintages of two of the most popular Kirkland bottles. We just wrapped up a tasting and review of the new 2021 Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape, which was delicious. The latest vintage of the Kirkland Rioja is hitting stores too, and it's a big time […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
We were thrilled to find the new Kirkland Chateauneuf a full month earlier than in years past. Rumblings began a few weeks ago among readers who had found it, and thankfully it hit our stores this past weekend. A few things to note, starting with the price, staying steady at $19.99. We would have almost […]
2013 Bodegas Manzanos Voche Rioja Reserva
Here’s a big time Costco wine find on multiple levels. First, we love Rioja because they just consistently overdeliver at amazing price points. This bottle is at Costco for only $9.99, but online it’s selling for everywhere from $15-$40. Next up is the vintage, 2013. This wine has 10 years of age built in, ready to drink […]
2020 Claude Manciat Courtelong Pouilly-Fuisse
We mentioned before a goal to taste a lot of wines from Burgundy in 2023, so every time we see a new one pop up at Costco, we're going to try to give it a review. Here's a Pouilly-Fuisse that came in at $18.99, and it turned out to be an excellent find. Online we […]
2022 Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose
Seeing this in Costco so early made us do a double take. We’ve complained before that Costco was bringing this beloved rosé into stores in the middle of summer, and we wanted to start enjoying it in the springtime too. The previous two vintages of this bottle, we didn’t see it until July. And it […]
2015 Palacio Primavera Reserva Rioja
Just a few days ago we raved about Portugal being among the best places to find value bottles in the modern wine world. That was said around our review of this fantastic wine that we gave a solid 90 points. And then the next wine we taste is this gem from Rioja. This one is […]
2018 Cartuxa Evora Colheita Tinto
Portugal is going to have a bigger moment in the spotlight if more people start getting in tune with some of the great wines coming out of there at great prices. We were so happy to see this one pop up at Costco amid so many of the usual bottles we review. Portugal is our […]
2015 Bodegas Olarra Anares Gran Reserva Rioja
Bodegas Olarra puts quite a few different wines into Costco stores and they always turn out to be solid values. This Gran Reserva may be among the best of the best for only $15.99, which is about as low as you’ll find a Gran Reserva bottle. We found a retail price listed at $40, and […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
We heard about a week and a half ago that this popular Kirkland wine was hitting shelves, and we didn't see it on a prior trip the past weekend, but found it last night. And it's one you need to grab when you can. It can disappear in days. And with good reason, because it's […]
2021 Tabali Talinay Sauvignon Blanc
Chile isn't always the first place you think of when looking for world class Sauvignon Blanc, but it will be higher on our list after tasting this one. Wow, this is a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc that caught us by surprise. The wine hails from the Limari Valley in Chile, located about 300 miles north of […]
Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux Brut
We hold a special place in our hearts for Champagne. It’s just delicious and fitting for any occasion. But outside of Costco’s Kirkland Champagne which you can buy for $20, buying real Champagne on a regular basis can hit the wallet pretty hard. A really good solution is to explore France’s Cremants from various regions. They […]
2020 Pertinace Langhe Nebbiolo
Just a few weeks ago, we had a conversation with some friends about wine and the question came up, "I love Barolo but it's just so darn expensive. It's a special treat, but I want it all the time." We feel the same way, and our answer to this question was Langhe Nebbiolo. And then […]
2018 Cellers Unio Tendral Seleccion Priorat
It’s not every day we see wines from Spain’s famed Priorat region show up at Costco. In fact, the last one we found and reviewed was the Vines of Bonmont Priorat back in Dec of 2021. It’s a shame because Priorat produces such good wine, and it’s not inexpensive, so finding bottles at Costco with a […]
2016 Department 66 Others Grenache
This was a fun new find and a wine that we didn’t know existed. It is a French Grenache made by Dave Phinney of Orin Swift and Prisoner fame. We found it at Costco for $14.99, which seemed like a great price and sure enough, a later Google search shows the wine selling between $28-$34 […]
10 Years and 1000 Costco Wine Reviews
The other day we went into our dashboard to post a new wine review, and a number jumped out at us. We had just posted the 1000th wine review for this site. Then I filtered by date and realized we were in our 10th year of running this site too. It makes sense since we post 2X a week […]
2019 Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon Napa
We were on the hunt for Costco bottles we haven't reviewed yet, and found this Napa Cab from Charles Krug that we're pretty sure we've tasted before, just haven't posted about it. Over the years of running this site, we've reviewed three past vintages of the Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc (2021, 2018, 2012) but not […]
2018 Bodega Tapiz Bicentenario Red Blend
This was a great Costco wine find that was recommended by several readers. Bodega Tapiz is a super dependable producer from Argentina. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a wine from them (longer than I thought). The last review was back in 2019 with the Tapiz Black Tears Malbec, a big time winner and one that […]
