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 […]
2018 Mosquita Muerta Pispi Blend de Tintas
We dropped this one in the cart just for purposes of exploration for this site. We've never seen or tasted this Argentinean red blend before. On the placard you'll see the 92 points the wine received from Wine Advocate. We couldn't find a true retail price for the bottle. Online it really varies but most […]
2019 Four Graces Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
We knew we had tasted this bottle a few times but a subsequent search of the site shows the last time we reviewed it was all the way back in April of 2016 with the 2013 vintage. So I'm glad we're getting in a fresh review of a new vintage because this wine is once […]
2021 La Crema Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma County
La Crema wines seems like a Costco wine staple. We see their Chardonnay readily available on almost every visit. And the Pinot Noir on more occasions than not. As you can see in our past reviews, we've been fans of their wines as well, scoring the last vintages 89 and 90 points. This is the […]
2020 Aresti Sauvignon Blanc Reserva
A few years back we found the Aresti Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva at Costco for $7.99. We noticed the high ratings and low price so couldn’t wait to get into it. Our verdict was much the same, and we rated it 88 points. Now, we have their Sauvignon Blanc that is also coming in at the […]
2019 Argiano Non Confunditur Rosso Toscano
There’s not really a story as to why we picked out this wine other than it was a bottle we’ve never seen at Costco before, and figured we’d report back to you on what we find. And it turned out to be a fantastic pick. You can see on the Costco placard the wine’s previous […]
2020 Charles Debourges Sancerre
We knew we had tried this bottle before because the label looked awfully familiar. But in searching past reviews we couldn’t find it which was odd. So we went deep into the historical pages and found it, in the 2015 vintage. The label looked the same but the producer changed from Olivier Larochette to Charles Debourges. The […]
2021 Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc
It’s been a little while since we tasted and reviewed the Napa Sauvignon Blanc from Charles Krug. The price has stayed the same at only $12.99, which combined with the quality of this juice, makes this a good value buy as we noted in our previous review. Retail price looks to be closer to $20 […]
2019 My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon
We can’t believe we ran into this wine at Costco. My Favorite Neighbor is among the darlings of the wine world right now it seems. Stories praising this wine seem to be on regular rotation on our Apple News feed. We first tried it in the 2018 vintage at a steakhouse (Flame in Springfield, MO […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva
Here’s a popular Kirkland wine that’s back in the latest vintage. First thing we noticed is a price jump to $8.99 from a previous $7.99 that we saw for the 2018 vintage. Before that it was hovering around $8.49, so this is the first time it’s broken new ground, but still just by a smidge. […]
2021 Westmount Pinot Gris
This one caught our eye because we’ve enjoyed the Westmount Pinot Noir in the past. Generally under $20, it’s a good buy in the Pinot Noir aisle. So we were curious about this Pinot Gris. Costco’s price of $12.79 is pretty good. Retail is $20 and we found it listed online for $13.99 at Total […]
2019 Marcel Servin Chablis
This is a staple Costco Chablis that is usually a pretty safe bet for fans of this region, which we definitely are. The price was $19 a few years ago and has creeped up a little to $22.99 but seems to have stabilized there which is a good sign. I found a few other outlets […]
2020 Duckhorn Decoy Sauvignon Blanc
Duckhorn's Decoy wines are usually a solid find, representing an entry into the winery at a price point well below their other bottles. Now, there's a little sacrifice in quality as the top shelf Duckhorn wines have always impressed us. But when you're looking for a good value buy from a known producer, the Decoy […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel
This is consistently a solid Kirkland wine buy that sometimes seems to get lost in the shuffle, but I know a lot of readers are on to it now. The price once again stayed the same at $9.99 which is more than fair for what you get. This wine has a history of hitting high […]
2018 Gerard Bertrand Saint-Chinian An 1877
It's always exciting to see a new bottle from Gerard Bertrand hit Costco shelves and we immediately drop them in the cart, both to review for all of you and also because we consistently enjoy them. This is the first of this specific one that we've spotted. About a year ago we found the Tautavel […]
2021 Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rosé
Look what's back in stores and right on time. We usually see the Kirkland Cotes De Provence Rose hit stores in the July 4th timeframe. And be aware, these bottles move fast. Like really fast. We wouldn't be surprised to see them cleared out in the next few weeks. So if you've enjoyed it in […]
2019 Whitehall Lane Sauvignon Blanc
Nothing pairs with summer like a crisp and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, and that's exactly what we have here. This is our first time tasting this wine so we didn't know what to expect but it definitely met and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Only doing the research now after having already tasted and making our notes, […]
2018 Chateau des Rochers Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux
When looking for value buys in the Costco wine aisle, some of our favorite finds are the small displays of random Bordeaux bottles that wedge in between other wines in the "cheap seats" (meaning the aisles of stacked wine, not wooden boxes). If you browse through our French review pages, you can find quite a […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Here's another favorite from the Kirkland wine portfolio that is also one of the best values in the store, especially for fans of Washington State reds. Long time readers will know we are huge fans of Washington State wines. Bang for the buck, they are hard to beat. We were thrilled to bump into this […]
2018 Stags' Leap Winery Petite Sirah
This is a classic Napa bottle that we were surprised, but delighted, to find at Costco. We've visited this winery a couple of times and have tasted many vintages of their Petite Sirah, always enjoying them, along with most of the other wines Stags' Leap Winery offers. Note: Stags' Leap Winery and Stag's Leap Wine […]
2020 Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf du Pape
Finally, we found this. Just like many of you have trouble finding the wines we review here, we also sometimes have trouble finding the ones our readers recommend. Each trip to the store, we cross our fingers hoping to find them. The new Kirkland Chateauneuf has been out for a while, and readers have reported […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
For those who follow our accounts on social media, you've no doubt seen a few people post about this bottle making a reappearance in stores right now. This is the Kirkland Signature Suscol Napa Cabernet, single vineyard. This wine debuted last year with the dynamite 2018 vintage, and pretty much everyone I heard from, including […]
2018 Smith & Hook Red Blend Central Coast
Here's a Costco wine staple that we enjoy vintage to vintage. And it's a little behind schedule this year, arriving in June vs November 1.5 years ago, when we reviewed the 2017 vintage. But better late than never, and we have high hopes for this 2018 vintage. Great news right off the bat is the […]
2019 Hyland Estates Old Vine Pinot Noir
Here's an interesting find, that we decided to pick up from the Pinot aisle. It seems we've been drinking a fair amount of Pinot Noir but haven't reviewed a lot of Costco bottles. We thought this might be fun because it's from the McMinnville AVA in Willamette Valley, which is just a mecca for good […]
2017 Bodegas Olarra Reciente Reserva Rioja
I apologize we didn't find this one and get it out earlier. Here's a really nice Costco price on what turned out to be a fantastic wine. The only issue is that the limited time $6 discount runs out tomorrow. Costco's standard price of $14.99 is already pretty amazing for this bottle. A quick search […]
2018 Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Malbec
We are always on the lookout for a nice, affordably priced Malbec and Costco's placard card sold this one pretty good. Not only did the bottle receive a huge 95 point score from James Suckling, but it was also listed as his #6 Value Wine of the Year. So we figured this one needed proper […]
2017 Vinas Viejas de Paniza Garnacha
Kind of a fun find here. The price is definitely right at $7.99. Online it appears to go for around $11 so there's a good Costco discount. We also love finding straight Garnacha, not blended. It gives you a nice perspective on the varietal. The wine pours in between a pale to medium ruby and […]
2020 Kirkland Signature K Vine Cabernet Sauvignon Wahluke Slope Vineyard
Here's one of the Costco bottles we've been wanting to find the most (the new Kirkland Chateauneuf is a close second). This is the highly anticipated Kirkland K Vine Cabernet, the third in a trilogy of special K Vine wines Costco released under the Kirkland brand in a collaboration with famed Washington State winemaker Charles […]
Underwood Rose Bubbles – 4 Pack Cans
I bought this one for fun since it was a new offering in the Costco wine aisle. I’ve bought a few of these cans in the past for my wife for beach vacations when I thought the form factor would come in handy (and it did) but don’t remember tasting them. I guess I was […]
2020 Bodegas Godeval Godello
When we’re perusing the white wine aisle at Costco, this is precisely the kind of wine we are looking for. Something new, different and a little off the beaten path. You’re actually starting to see Godello bottles on more restaurant wine lists which is great. But it still remains a rather obscure Spanish white varietal […]
2021 Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio
Banfi is a super dependable name in Italian wine and their wines typically offer a good bang for the buck. We have found quite a few wines from them at Costco over the years, most recently their Chianti Classico, Centine red blend, and a couple years back even a Gavi. This is our first time […]
2019 Gerard Bertrand An 825 Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose
Here's the latest vintage of a sparkling wine we've enjoyed in the past. Those readers who are into these wines, probably remember the Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Cuvee that we reviewed a while back which shares many similarities with this wine: the price, the label, the varietal blend, the origin (both Limoux Brut Rosé); the ABV. We […]
2020 Pendulum Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley
We picked up this bottle for a couple different reasons. First, we love Columbia Valley wines, and Washington State wines overall. A while back we wrote a brief feature story about this, “Reflections on Washington State Wines and Why Everyone Should Be Buying Them.” So we wanted to know if this is one of those […]
2019 Kirkland Signature Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Bam, the new Kirkland Willamette Pinot Noir is dropping in stores right on schedule. This is one of our favorites among the Kirkland Pinot Noirs. And there’s some big news right off the bat. How about a price drop? You don’t hear about many of those right now, and what a perfect bottle for this […]
2017 Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva
One of the highest value red wines in the Kirkland portfolio is making its way back into stores with the new 2017 vintage. We could only be talking about the Rioja Reserva. This marks the 7th vintage of this wine that we’ve tasted and reviewed. Here’s a quick look at our historical ratings for this […]
2016 Chateau Bel Air Gloria Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois
Here’s one of those fun affordable Bordeaux finds that pop up occasionally in Costco. This one actually appeared in the wooden boxes as opposed to the “cheap seats” (stacks of wine aisle) where the sub $20 ones often are found. You’ll notice the word Gloria in the name, and a quick Google search tells us […]
2020 Orin Swift Abstract Red Blend
Costco Notes: Black plum, boysenberry and hit of bing cherry, and lavender invite a taste. On the palate, the aromatics turn into the sense of taste along with a touch of dark chocolate and reduced blackberry. Supple tannins. Left Coast Tasting Notes: AVA: California Time on Gas: 6 hours Color: This is a beautiful red […]
