2019 Terlan Pinot Bianco

This is exactly the kind of white wine that I’m on the lookout for at Costco; something a little off the beaten path, usually found in the wooden bins after you’ve passed all the California...

2015 Covalli Barolo

This bottle is always a welcome site in the Costco wine aisles.  If you’ve never read our reviews, you might be skeptical (as were at first), asking yourself how can a real Barolo be priced at only...

2016 Antiche Terre Venete Amarone Della Valpolicella

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on this bottle a few times before. Rarely do you find an Amarone priced this low so I’m always a little skeptical. But Costco usually delivers, like they did on the...

2019 Cecchi Chianti Classico

What a pleasant find this turned out to be. We’re always fans of Chianti Classico and consistently find them to deliver a big bang for the buck. This bottle is a perfect example of that. Costco’s...

2019 Banfi Chianti Classico

There’s a lot of value and quality to be found in Chianti Classicos these days. Eric Asimov, the wine critic at the NY Times, has been a big voice for these wines, and we have tended to agree. A...

2020 Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino di Sardegna

Finding this bottle at Costco was a nice surprise. Argiolas produces a number of white and red wines that we’ve always enjoyed (their Turriga is a popular one on the higher end). If you also shop at...

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...

2019 Argiano Non Confunditur Rosso Toscano

2020 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio Friuli

This is always a tough bottle for me to review, and might be even trickier this year with this new 2020 vintage. As I’ve mentioned in prior reviews, I think I did figure it out a bit. This wine is...

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...

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,...
