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 […]
2021 Monte Degli Angeli Collezione del Barone Piemonte Pinot Noir
This bottle exemplifies why we love the wine journey. Sometimes you just get smacked in the face with an unsuspecting bottle that captures the spirit of exploration. We didn't remember how much this cost at the time we were drinking it. It came from the cheap seats (the aisles of wine vs wooden boxes), just […]
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 Kirkland Signature Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
There's lots of good news around the newest vintage of this popular Kirkland Pinot, and it's a bottle that we have really enjoyed since its introductory 2017 vintage. The first news is the price. It's staying the same as the previous vintage at $12.99. Regular readers and fans of this bottle will know that it […]
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 […]
2021 Talbot Kali Hart Pinot Noir
On every trip to Costco, we throw a quick scan across the Pinot Noir section looking for something we’ve never tasted before. And if it’s highly rated and not too expensive, it’s all the more bonus. That’s exactly what we found here. Starting with that price, Costco brings this one in under $20 at $17.79. Wine.com and K&L […]
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 […]
2020 Giguiere Estate Pillars of Hercules Red Blend
This is typically not the type of wine we seek out, the big bold, hodge podge red blends from California. But we have seen this bottle on all of our latest trips to Costco, and several readers have written in about it, so for the sake of this site, we picked one up. Costco’s price is […]
2019 Serego Alighieri Possessioni Bianco
We were on the hunt for a new Costco white wine to review and this one almost slipped by us. But glad we found it and tasted it because it’s a winner. We also like finding new varietals, or blends like this, outside of the standard white wines you often find at Costco. Would love to see […]
2020 Elouan Pinot Noir
We are always interested in trying and reviewing new Costco Pinots that show up in stores, particularly those under $20, which is often a challenging world to navigate. Looking towards Oregon though is a safe bet nowadays. We think they continue to produce some of the best Pinot Noir in the US at some of […]
2020 Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico
Last week, we reviewed the latest vintage of the Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva. We’ve reviewed vintages of that bottle going back to 2013, and we’ve always found them to be pretty middle of the road. With our review of the 2020 vintage, we brought our rating down to 85 points, and several readers agreed and […]
2020 Hayes Valley Meritage Red Wine
This is a new Bordeaux style blend from California’s Central Coast that is hitting Costco stores. Costco’s $8.59 price tag is very competitive since the wine can be found at Total Wine for $13 and at a similar price at other outlets we found. A quick Google search indicates some high ratings too including a […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva
We always look forward to tasting the latest vintage of the Kirkland Chianti Classico, but remain a little reserved as it's historically not been one of our preferred wines in the Kirkland portfolio. Last year the price jumped up $1 to $8.99, and at least it didn't go any higher with this vintage. Still can't […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
We heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab was hitting stores, and we finally found it after multiple trips to Costco over the past couple of weeks. This is one of our favorite wines in the Kirkland portfolio, and it remains really hard to beat for under $20. And that's […]
2021 Cristom Mt Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir
Here's a new Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that showed up in Costco stores near us. It's not an inexpensive bottle, coming in at $36.99 at Costco, which is about what you will find it for at other outlets, including Total Wine who carries it for $38.99. Retail appears to be in the low $40's. This […]
2016 Bodegas Valdelacierva Rioja Reserva
Finding this bottle was a pleasant sight for us in the Costco wine aisles. We have previously reviewed the 2014 vintage of this wine and really enjoyed it. You can see by the Costco placard this bottle has received a string of 90+ point ratings, including 90 points from us on the 2014 vintage. 2016 was a […]
2010 Hidalgo Tradicion H Gran Reserva Rioja
This almost seemed to good to be true, but a reader informed us this Gran Reserva Rioja from 2010 was hitting Costco stores. And the price was only $14.99. We got lucky and found it on our next visit. Back in 2018 we reviewed the 2012 standard Hidalgo Tradicion H Rioja, and really enjoyed it. […]
2019 Masseria Surani Primitivo
We love finding new wines at Costco, especially varietals like this that we don't see all the time. Wine being a lifelong journey of discovery, it's important to try new things, be adventurous, and be open to new styles and grapes. Primitivo is actually from the same grape variety as Zinfandel (which originates from Croatia). […]
2021 Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir
One of our wine goals for 2023 is to further explore the wines of Burgundy, both red and white. So when we see a new bottle at the Costco stores near us, we're going to buy it and review. Feel free to take this journey alongside us. This base level Bourgogne from a big name […]
2019 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles
Today we're tasting a new vintage of a consistent winner, the Justin Cabernet from Paso Robles. Not only are we huge fans of wines from Paso Robles because they just seem to always overdeliver, we love this base level Justin as a go to winner under $20. They also make a delicious Bordeaux blend called […]
2020 My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon
One of our favorite wines that we tasted last year is back at Costco with the latest vintage, and we were pumped to find it. We reviewed the 2019 vintage back in July and gave it a whopping (and well deserved) 95 points. That rating also puts it towards the top of our annual Best […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Series Premier Cru Chablis
This popular Kirkland bottle usually hits stores around this time of the year. It was a little late last year arriving in March, at least around the Atlanta area. The price actually went down with this latest vintage, just a few cents, but glad to see it not going the other way. Finding Premier Cru Chablis […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Saint-Julien Bordeaux
In all the years of running this site, this might be the Costco bottle we've wanted to find the most. We love the Costco hunt, but when we first heard from readers this new Kirkland wine was out there, we were hitting our Costco stores left and right trying to find it. Finally, we found […]
Aldi Winking Owl House Brand Wine: How Does it Stack Up?
We at the wine blog obviously love Costco almost more than anywhere else. And that’s not just because of the wine. The entirety of the product offering, great prices and unique experience make it a one of a kind shopping experience. Aldi is similar in some ways but different in others. It’s a unique shopping […]
