We buy and review almost every Ribera del Duero bottle we find at Costco, as it's a favorite in our household, and usually delivers a nice wine for the money. This bottle is a perfect example. Coming in at $15.99, it was a bottle we've never seen before, and the info was missing from the […]
2020 Tenshen Red
Here's a new one for us, but it's a wine we've seen lingering in the Costco aisles around Atlanta stores that we were curious to taste. It's a Rhone style red blend from Santa Barbara County, and we typically like this style of wine. This blend consists of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, and Merlot. […]
2019 Bodegas Venta La Vega Adaras Calizo
These are the kind of interesting, affordable finds in the cheap seats that we love to come across. "Cheap seats" in Costco wine lingo refers to the stacks of wine boxes versus the bottles found in the wooden display cases. The cheap seats play host to all kinds of varietals and regions. Often you'll find […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Malbec Mendoza
The latest vintage of the Kirkland Malbec arriving in stores is always a welcome sight, and what we expect to see in December of each year. Similar to the Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur that we just reviewed, this bottle continues to retain its super low $6.99 price tag. With the inflation we've seen elsewhere, it's surprising […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Bordeaux Superieur
We are excited to see the new Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur hitting shelves a month or so early. Usually we see this one arrive in the February timeframe. It's also nice to see the price continue to stay at $6.99 which is really good for the quality we've been finding in this wine, especially the more […]
2019 Raymond Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
We've seen this bottle before in Costco stores, but it being the holidays and all, we just could resist that velvety red label. And we are thrilled we tried it. This is flat out delicious Napa Cabernet at a very competitive Costco price. Wine.com is selling this bottle for $47.99, in contrast to Costco's $34.99 […]
2018 Bodegas y Vinedos Pujanza Valdepoleo Rioja
We love finding and trying new Riojas from Costco, and this one checked quite a few boxes. Pretty solid ratings as indicated on the placard below. 94 from Wine Advocate, and a later Google search shows low 90's for this wine from several of the recent vintages. The price at Costco was $19.99, and some […]
2019 Martin Tesch Unplugged Riesling
We're always on the look out for wines we've never seen carried at Costco before, so this Riesling jumped out as something new to try. German Riesling is something you don't see as often as we would like at Costco, and it's often so good. This is a dry Riesling, which you can see indicated […]
2019 Gary Farrell Russian River Selection Pinot Noir
We picked this one up to have on hand for Thanksgiving weekend and figured there'd be a good time to open what we hoped would be a tasty Pinot Noir. A lot of these Pinots can really get good when you start to spend between $30-$45. Costco's price was $32.99, which is pretty competitive. It's […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Russian River Pinot Noir
There's quite a bit of new info to share about the latest vintage of the Kirkland Russian River Pinot, and it's all positive. First off is the new label which surprised us; seems like they've tried quite a few different looks to this bottle over the years. We like it, and you can see how […]
Whisky and Flavored Whisky Sampler
Here's another interesting box that came our way, and it's a bit different for this site. This is a Flavored Whisky sampler containing 12 200ml bottles. We can't buy this (or hard liquor) at most Costco stores in Georgia (only two, Dunwoody and Alpharetta), but received it to sample from the distributor. We are also […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Red Wine
Costco's been playing around with some redesigns of the Kirkland wine labels over the past year, so this new one caught our eye. It's also a Columbia Valley Red blend, not the Cabernet that we have reviewed more recently. There was a Cabernet - Merlot a while back and before that a red blend that […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Gigondas
This was a welcome sight in the Costco wine aisles - the latest vintage of the Kirkland Signature Gigondas, which usually arrives in Jan is here a little early this year. It's hard to believe that Kirkland produces a Gigondas bottle as it's not the region of France you hear talked about all that much. […]
2018 Antiche Terre Venete Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
We thought it might be time to revisit this popular Costco Amarone. The last time we reviewed it was back with the 2016 vintage that we enjoyed and gave 89 points. We have a similar story with the 2018 vintage that is in Costco stores right now. The price did go up $1 to $23.99, […]
2018 E Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge
This bottle is a fairly familiar sight around Costco wine aisles. It seems to appear almost every vintage, and usually sticks around for a while, especially at the stores we frequent around the Atlanta area. And it's a real treat because it is just a solid, dependable, and inexpensive wine that you should definitely try […]
2016 Canonica a Cerreto Chianti Classico
This Chianti Classico had a few things going for it that made a strong case for throwing a bottle in our cart. First, we love Chianti Classicos, and particularly those with 5-7 years of age on them, so this 2016 fit the bill quite nicely. It's drinking really good right now. Next, we remembered tasting […]
Vieille France Brut Champagne
Here's a new Champagne hitting the Costco shelves, and the first thing you notice is the super cool bottle design that is short and stubby; neat label too. The price was right at $27.99, which is a level where you rarely find real Champagne, outside of the $19.99 Kirkland Champagne, which we always enjoy. Online […]
2022 Costco Wine Thanksgiving Picks
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays and it's the perfect time to enjoy great food and great wine with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do. And Costco is one of the best places to stock up on what you need for the big meal. Here we like to talk about Costco wine, […]
2021 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars AVETA Sauvignon Blanc
We love seeing new bottles from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars hit the shelves at Costco and this AVETA Sauvignon Blanc is one that we've never seen before, at least around the Atlanta area Costco stores we frequent. Previously, as far as white wines go from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, we've reviewed and enjoyed their Karia […]
2019 Vinyes Ocults Malbec
On the heels of our review of the Infinito Malbec that had a nice limited discount on it, now we find another one, that with the limited time discount brings the price down to under $10. The Infinito turned out to be pretty good; we went 87 points. This one is just a few bucks […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino
Here's one of our favorite Kirkland wines coming in right on time with the latest vintage. Fall is usually when this Brunello hits stores, and right off the bat we have some good news with the price staying at $19.99. Long time readers may remember this wine had crept up to $27 in prior years, […]
Our Highest Rated Costco Wines of 2022
It's that time of the year again when we look back at some of our favorite Costco wine finds throughout the year. We have quite a few new additions that we enjoyed this year. If you want to check out our previous roundups, here is this same list from 2021, 2020 and 2019. It's always […]
2018 Devois des Agneaux d'Aumelas Languedoc
We weren't sure what to expect here but had a sneaking suspicion that this might be an under the radar winner. And we were spot on. Languedoc is a region in Southern France, in between the Mediterranean and Rhone Valley, and you can see the Rhone influence in the varietal blend here which is 70% […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Cotes du Rhone Villages
We heard from a few readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages was hitting stores, and were surprised because it's a bit early for this one. The last vintage reached us in March of this year. But finding the new one is a welcome site. This bottle really is all […]
2020 Boen Pinot Noir
Here's a Pinot Noir that's been lingering around stores in the Atlanta area that we've never tasted or reviewed. It's actually a blend of grapes from three different California counties, netting out to be 45% Sonoma County, 29% Santa Barbara County and 26% Monterey County. We like Pinot from all those areas so thought it'd […]
2021 Duckhorn Decoy Sauvignon Blanc
It was only a few months ago when we reviewed the 2020 vintage of this wine from the Duckhorn portfolio, so we were a little surprised to see this new one hit stores. As we've mentioned in the past, we find Duckhorn and their Decoy line (big fans of the Sonoma red blend) to consistently […]
2018 Chateau Faugeres Calice de Faugeres Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
We thought this one might overdeliver and it does. This is a great Costco wine find. We're big Bordeaux fans, and for $20, this is a score. Online the price seems to be closer to the $28 range, so it appears Costco's bringing it in at a competitive buy. Suckling has gone in the low […]
2018 Infinito Malbec Winemaker's Selection
This turned out to be an interesting wine to review. On our first pass at writing down notes, we weren't super impressed, and just got thrown off by this smokiness that couldn't come off the nose. This does occur, and usually a decant will help, which was what happened in this case. A little air […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Toscana
Look what we found making a surprise appearance back in Costco stores. The last time we saw this bottle was back in 2018 with the 2014 vintage. We thought this might be a one and done Kirkland bottling, but here we are five vintages later and it's back. The price went up $1 to $14.99. […]
2021 Bec Hardy Sauvignon Blanc
When we're perusing the Costco wine aisles, there's usually 3-4 bottles we're on the lookout for, either reader recommendations, or Kirkland wines we expect to be dropping. In addition we're always on the lookout for wines we've never seen carried at Costco before. Or at least bottles that haven't appeared in the stores we frequent […]
2018 Durant & Booth Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon
We're not always fans of bourbon barrel aged wines. They really can run the gamut from amazing to undrinkable, at least for our tastes, which skew more traditional and old world. But nonetheless, this bottle found its way into our Costco cart. And it actually turned out to be on the more enjoyable side of […]
2016 Bodegas Sierra Salinas Mira Salinas Alicante
There are quite a few interesting things about this bottle we found at Costco, which we've never seen before. First is the mistake on the Costco placard, labeling this wine as a Rioja, which would lead you to believe it was comprised of Tempranillo. But the wine is actually from Alicante and is comprised of […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Red Blend
Here's a popular Kirkland wine hitting stores right on schedule, usually in the Sept-Oct timeframe. We've heard from several readers who found this wine weeks before we did, so hopefully it's beginning to make its way into more stores. Two things right off the bat. Yes, the price stayed the same at $10.99. That's a […]
2018 Casa Natal Malbec Reserva
We came across this new Malbec in the Costco wine aisle and figured we'd give it a shot. The price was right at $9.99. A quick search shows online prices ranging from $13-$17 so it appears to be a good Costco price. The wine is predominantly Malbec (90%) but also contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and […]
2016 Marques del Atrio Rioja Reserva
This is the second year now (last time was Sept 2020) that this fantastic Rioja sees a huge limited time discount, taking what is already an amazing wine for $15, down to only $8.99. The discount is only around for another week, so grab these while you can. Retail is around $20, and you can […]
2022 Costco Wine Advent-ure Calendar
It's hard to believe it's that time already, but here we are just closing out summer and bam, we get the Costco wine advent calendar hitting stores, alongside Christmas trees and holiday decorations. This is about the same time of the year when last years Advent Calendar dropped, first week of September. It always seems […]
2017 Torre Zambra Madia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
This is one of those low priced bottles that caught our eye from the "cheap seats" (the aisles of stacked wine, not the wooden boxes). Costco often slides these interesting European wines in among rows of the usual suspects, so you need to have your radar up when you're cruising through the cheap seats. And […]
2017 Dueling Pistols Red Blend Paso Robles
Ok, we'll admit it, the label sucked us in pretty fast here. Love this design, and we couldn't wait to flip the bottle around to see what this was all about. Usually we try to stay away from wines that are trying hard to be something, but this one (along with some of the Aussie […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Carneros Pinot Noir
We almost didn't recognize this one. The Kirkland Carneros Pinot gets an all new lablel that's super simple and clean. We kind of like it; here's the old one for comparison. There's no back label, just additional information on the sides of the main label, so we took a few additional photos. The Kirkland Carneros […]
2021 Tabali Vetas Blancas Sauvignon Blanc
We've been on a bit of a Sauvignon Blanc kick lately and have found some good ones at Costco that we've posted about. This includes the La Crema Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma, and the Aresti Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. Here's another Chilean one that we found that we've never tasted before. There's not a lot […]
