Zinfandel - 2013

Here’s a wine that a reader alerted me to, and on my next Costco visit…bam, there it was. This is a Tuscan blend that Costco is offering for $19.99. That compares to a retail that appears to be $30+ and an online price of around $25. While poking around the Web about this wine, I found a few different breakdowns of the varietals, but I’m not sure how they netted out exactly for this vintage. I made few guesses but then a commentor let us know that the wine this year is compris...

Here’s a super tasty Chablis that comes in at a great Costco price of only $16.99, making it among the lowest priced Chablis that we’ve seen in the warehouse. And best of all, it doesn’t skimp on quality. This is the little sister to the Domaine Thierry Mothe Grand Cru Chablis that we reviewed a few months ago (2016 vintage), and rated a solid 90 points. That wine is priced almost twice as much, and is certainly worth it for big time Chablis fans. This more “standardR...

Here’s a very nice bottle of white wine that people might not naturally gravitate too, but they should. Gavi originates from Italy’s famed Piedmont area in the northwestern part of the country, and the wine is made from the Cortese grape, which is kind of an old school variety that’s been grown in the area forever. (yes, shameless plug, we have a book all about this.) This bottle was really enjoyable, particularly at Costco’s price that was only $12.99, compared to a ret...

Costco always has a nice selection of Malbecs to choose from, and seems to constantly bring them in and out, which allows you to sample a wide variety of different bottles. Just make sure that if you find one you like, you buy more right away, as they can disappear. Catena, Norton and Ben Marco are all solid Costco Malbec picks for between $10-$20. On the higher end side, we really enjoyed the Tapiz Black Tears Malbec if you want something real nice and dont mind spending $38, which is a lot fo...

This is always a fun post, but it relies a lot on all of our readers out there (just updated with some comments from readers, thank you). As they do every year, Wine Spectator just released their Top 100 wines of 2019. It’s a fun list to comb through and this year they highlighted some wines I really enjoy, not all sold at Costco. Beaucastel is a Costco wine that we always love. Costco carried the Mayacamas Chardonnay which we also love, but not the Cabernet that made the list. Pichon Bar...

I admit I’m a sucker for top wine lists. I have to look at them, and that’s what locked me into buying this wine. I noticed it was listed as the #5 wine on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 wines of 2018 and I thought that was pretty interesting for an Oregon Pinot Blanc priced this reasonably. That is, until I opened it and tasted the wine. It’s absolutely amazing and an incredible buy at Costco for only $13.99 (retail is around $19). Wine Enthusiast ended up awarding the wine ...

All right, it’s that time of the year again when we recommend some of out favorite Costco wines to enjoy with the Thanksgiving meal. This year I went to three Costco stores around the Atlanta area (Woodstock, Kennesaw, Cumberland) to make sure these wines were still in stock before adding them to the list. Because we are independent of Costco, there’s no way we can tell if these are available nationally, but we hope that you are able to find some of them near you too. I usually like...
