This marks the fourth vintage for this Washington State red blend from the Kirkland label that we have historically enjoyed. The first thing to notice is the price staying the same at $14.99. This is important because it was creeping up with the 2021 vintage to $16.99. If you look at our ratings on the […]]]>

You can't beat a good Super Tuscan and here's a solid choice at Costco now for $16.99. This wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet that come together nicely, and just begs to be paired with some Italian food. Wine Enthusiast gave this bottle 90 points and listed the retail price as $22. […]]]>

A no brainer here, an Antinori Chianti Classico for $17.49. It earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast which is pretty right on in our opinion. You almost can't go wrong with Antinori on the label. They consistently produce top quality wines at fantastic prices, and this bottle is a shining example. Retail price on the […]]]>

This is just the type of wine we want to see more of at Costco: obscure, or semi- off the beaten path Italian white wines. They are just so interesting, always well priced, and a breath of fresh air in the white wine aisle. This is a perfect case in point. The grape here is […]]]>

We are really excited to find this bottle at Costco, a Sancerre Rosé, marking the first time we've found one at Costco. This is a wine that we enjoyed on a trip to France last year, and it's one you don't always see on wine shop shelves in the US in large quantities. Finding this […]]]>

This bottle is a bit of a surprise that a few readers alerted us to over the past few weeks. It was just three months ago when we reviewed the latest vintage, also 2023, of the Kirkland Premier Cru Chablis. It is always a favorite but the newest vintage was really stellar, pulling down a […]]]>

You can't beat some of these lesser known, or at least lesser discussed in the mainstream, Italian white wines (quite a few fit the bill, but we're thinking Vermentino, Soave, Verdicchio, Timorasso, Arneis). It's a been a while since we've seen a Gavi at Costco, so it was a nice surprise to find this bottle […]]]>

It's always a treat to see new bottles from Toro arriving at Costco as this region consistently delivers high quality wines at fantastic prices; and this bottle is the perfect example of that. This wine is made from 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo), and Toro ranks right there with Rioja and Ribera del Duero as […]]]>

Three years ago we tasted and reviewed the 2013 Rioja Reserva from Bodegas Manzanos and it was a stunner for $9.99 that we rated 91 points. So we had high hopes when we came across this non-vintage, "5th Generation" Rioja that had a hefty discount, $10 off the $19.99 regular price. So like the previous […]]]>

We, like many of you, are wondering if we'll see a new vintage (should be 2023) of the Kirkland Rutherford Cabernet. It was due to arrive 4-5 months ago, and we haven't seen it yet. Perhaps gone, or perhaps skipping a vintage? We'll have to see. But as a consolation prize, we have this Reputation […]]]>
