It’s always nice to find new bottles of Sancerre arriving at Costco, especially as the much-loved Kirkland Sancerre seems to now be gone or near gone at most places we’ve seen. This bottle is a couple bucks more but well worth it for Sancerre fans. And Costco’s $21.99 price tag represents a nice discount compared to ..read more

Burgundy time, and we found a new one that looks interesting. A Beaune 1er Cru at Costco for $42.99 and we scooped it up right away. There’s not much information online about this bottle. Turns out, the Costco placard hit the nail right on the head saying “a little muted at first but opening w ..read more

What an interesting find this turned out to be. We were going to buy it anyway just because the two varietal blend included Caladoc, which is something you don’t see that often. Caladoc is a crossing of Grenache and Malbec primarily found in Southern France. But the real kicker was when we turned the bottle ..read more

This was one of the biggest no brainer wine picks of all time. A Sauvignon Blanc from France’s Touraine appellation for $12.99. Touraine is in the Loire Valley of France, which fans of Loire will instantly think Sancerre when they think Sauvignon Blanc from the region. And as they should; we adore Sancerre. But Sancerre ..read more

We had the opportunity to visit and meet with their team a few years back, and every single thing about the winery ..read more

Finding this bottle is always a highlight at the beginning of the year. We’ve been big fans, particularly of the last couple vintages. A little bit of a surprise though. We are getting a price increase, up to $18.99 from a previous $17.49. Still, for Premier Cru Chablis coming in under $20 is a good ..read more

Ok, we have a new Bordeaux Superieur in the cheap seats. Long time readers know we love exploring these wines. The cheap seats refer to the aisles of stacked wines, versus those in the wooden boxes. In the cheap seats you never know what you’re going to find. More than anything, the wines in the ..read more

It’s been a little while since we’ve posted specifically about the Kirkland Champagne, which remains one of our favorite Costco wine buys, and an insane value for real French Champagne. It’s appeared in several of our feature stories, but we wanted to revisit it with a focused review. The last time we posted was back ..read more

A popular Kirkland bottle is back with the latest 2021 vintage. We have been enjoying this one the past few years, and it remains a killer buy on juice from a premier region you just can’t access for the same price anywhere else. So the price staying at $13.99 was a huge bonus. A couple ..read more

That’s good news if you’re looking for an inexpensive red to stock up on for the holidays. We instantly went to the price, $6.99 again, which ..read more
