2015 Kirkland Signature Barolo

Several readers alerted us last week that this new Kirkland offering was hitting Costco store shelves, and I was able to find it this weekend. The price for this Barolo is $19.99, which falls right in...

2015 Castello di Albola Chianti Classico

Editor’s Note: Obviously, these are crazy times to be shopping at Costco, and every trip means braving long lines like we’ve never seen before. I’ve made a few trips to purchase wine (and other...

2016 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva

We always love to see the newest vintage of this Kirkland classic arrive in warehouses. Ironically, just a few months ago we saw an unexpected restock of the 2015 vintage in stores around the Atlanta...

2017 Ferrari-Carano Siena Red Blend

This is an interesting wine and a good choice when you want something a little different. It’s “kind of” an Italian style red because the blend is led by Sangiovese, but it’s also very new world in...

2017 Banfi Centine Toscana

I had a couple readers write in to recommend trying this Tuscan red blend that just showed up in Costco stores near me. The price was right at only $8.99 and Banfi is a huge name in Tuscan wine,...

Costco 4 Bottle European Wine Tour Boxed Set

I’ve always been curious about this European wine box that first showed up last year near me, but seemed to sell out fairly fast (and before I had a chance to grab one). It’s back this year, at $29.99...

2015 Kirkland Signature Series Brunello di Montalcino

The Kirkland Brunello is a welcome find when it hits Costco shelves, and it’s always nice to see the price stay consistent from the prior vintage at $26.99.  Like the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape and...

2018 Valle Reale Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

This is the type of wine we are all on the look out for at Costco.  A solid red, from an underappreciated region, produced from organic grapes, with high ratings, at a great Costco price. That...

2018 Ottosoldi Gavi

It might be wintertime, when hearty red wines seem to really hit the spot, at least for me, but it’s fun to sprinkle in the occasional white wine. When I found the latest vintage of this Italian Gavi...

2014 Covalli Barolo

Earlier this year we saw the introduction of a Kirkland Signature Barolo for $20 that we loved. Who would guess that a few months later, Costco would stock another Barolo priced even lower than that?...

2016 Kirkland Signature Barolo

We heard from readers a week ago that the 2016 vintage of the Kirkland Barolo was showing up in stores, and that was music to our ears. The 2015 vintage, which came out exactly a year ago, was the...

2019 Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio

Here’s a white wine that grabbed my attention.  I don’t drink a lot of Pinot Grigio, but this bottle was $11.99 at Costco and proudly displayed its 91 points from Wine Enthusiast. Turns out they also...

2019 Monte Degli Angeli Piemonte Pinot Noir

Here’s a fun Costco wine find that we were super curious about.  You don’t see a ton of Italian Pinot Noir out there; plus this wine originated from Italy’s famed Piedmont region, where you also find...

2019 Vino dell’Amicizia Pinot Noir

On the heels of a rather tasty Italian Pinot Noir (Monte Degli Angeli Piemonte) that we scored at Costco for $7.47, how appropriate that we find and review another Italian Pinot Noir from Costco? This...
