This is one of those insta-purchase Costco wines for me. I’m a big fan of Frog’s Leap wines, have visited and greatly enjoyed the winery, and am sitting on some nice Rutherford Cabs from them that are aging in the cellar. I’d had the 2013 Sauv Blanc at a dinner a few months back and …
This is a beautiful Riesling for $15.99 at my Costco. I was looking for a bit of a different white wine to review that would be really food friendly, and this turned out to be just the right pick. Mosel is the epicenter of many awesome dry Rieslings, and while this bottle has a touch of sweetness …
I’ve always enjoyed the Montecillo Riojas and was pumped to see a 2008 Reserva hit Costco shelves for only $10.99. This is a great bargain on a solid wine for red fans that’s already aged and ready to enjoy now. Dried floral nose with some spice; on the palate flavors of dark fruit, with leather …
I’ve been meaning to get around to trying this Costco Rose. It’s been a reader favorite, a frequently mentioned wine across the social networks and was priced at $18.99 at my Costco, which I think is an ok price (I’ve seen it elsewhere closer to $15). We decided to pair this on a summer day with …
I realized it had been a while since we reviewed a Merlot so I was excited to find one from Columbia Valley for $14.99 on my latest trip to Costco. This wine really surprised me, and I’m generally more of a Merlot lover than hater anyway, but this is really a nicely assembled wine with …
Albarinos are such a good go-to white wine for the summer months, and this bottle is a stellar Costco purchase for $14.99, representing about the best quality I’ve had in these wines at this price from the Rias Baixas region of Spain. It seems like Albarino really started to catch on in the US over the …
The following is a guest review of a Costco wine compliments of the fine folks at The Fermented Fruit. On a recent trip to Costco in Arlington I was originally on the hunt for one of my new favorite Spanish bargains, the Tarima Hill Old Vine Monastrell, when I spotted the Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon …
If you are an impatient wine drinker, you don’t want to read this review. But for those of us willing to wait a bit for the good stuff, then you need to check out the Sparrow Hawk 2011 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Under $20 Napa Cabs….that are good….are hard to find. In the past, I’ve relied …
Talk about a tangy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc…this wine takes it to new heights. This wine has a huge spicy, acidic finish, that I really enjoyed given the super hot Atlanta summer day on which I enjoyed it. But outside of an environment like that, it may be a little much for some wine fans. …
A very decent California syrah-blend for $10? Yup. Bridlewood is a winery that made its reputation producing some very nice syrah-based wines at the $20-30 price point. For the first time, in memory, one of its offerings has arrived at Costco and is being sold at a marked-down price of $10.49. It is comprised of …
Today we have a guest wine review from the Fermented Fruit, looking at a wine we’ve reviewed and greatly enjoyed in previous vintages. Sounds like the 2011 is a winner too. Bodegas Volver produces wines from it’s extensive holdings of approximately 834 acres spread across the Spanish wine regions of Alicante, Jumilla and La Mancha. …
I’ve been loving the Spanish wines making their way into Costco recently and this big red blend falls in line nicely, offering huge flavor and complexity for only $10.99. These Spanish reds (and even the recent whites like this Albarino) offer just ridiculous value compared to what you will find from other places in the …
This is an interesting pick for a light, refreshing summer wine that’s a bit different than others you are probably drinking. This Portuguese white has a little effervescence to it and at only $6.59 is a good one to stock up on if you enjoy this style. I would definitely recommending trying a bottle though …
Alright, here’s one I know a lot of readers have been interested in – the 2012 vintage of the always awesome Kirkland Chateauneuf. I’ve been anxiously waiting to get my hands on one of these given the amount of reader comments I’ve already received singing the praises of the current offering. And I’m a fan …
I was excited to find this bottle priced at $16.99 at Costco. At the time, I knew it was typically much more and after searching online I found the regular price tips closer to $26-$28 with a few online outlets going down to $20 [NOTE 7/24: we’ve been informed by readers that some Costco stores …
