These are the kind of interesting, affordable finds in the cheap seats that we love to come across. “Cheap seats” in Costco wine lingo refers to the stacks of wine boxes versus the bottles found in the wooden display cases. The cheap seats play host to all kinds of varietals and regions. Often you’ll find some nice French wine finds …

Here’s a new one for us, but it’s a wine we’ve seen lingering in the Costco aisles around Atlanta stores that we were curious to taste. It’s a Rhone style red blend from Santa Barbara County, and we typically like this style of wine. This blend consists of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, and Merlot. The varietal breakdown wasn’t given …

We buy and review almost every Ribera del Duero bottle we find at Costco, as it’s a favorite in our household, and usually delivers a nice wine for the money. This bottle is a perfect example. Coming in at $15.99, it was a bottle we’ve never seen before, and the info was missing from the Costco placard; we were intrigued. …

We at the wine blog obviously love Costco almost more than anywhere else.  And that’s not just because of the wine.  The entirety of the product offering, great prices and unique experience make it a one of a kind shopping experience. Aldi is similar in some ways but different in others. It’s a unique shopping experience with great prices on …

In all the years of running this site, this might be the Costco bottle we’ve wanted to find the most. We love the Costco hunt, but when we first heard from readers this new Kirkland wine was out there, we were hitting our Costco stores left and right trying to find it. Finally, we found it at the Cumberland location …

This popular Kirkland bottle usually hits stores around this time of the year. It was a little late last year arriving in March, at least around the Atlanta area. The price actually went down with this latest vintage, just a few cents, but glad to see it not going the other way. Finding Premier Cru Chablis like this under $20 …

Jasmine Hirsch. In the San Francisco Chronicle, Esther Mobley profiles Jasmine Hirsch, who made a mid-career switch at age 40, going from general manager of her family’s winery — Hirsch Vineyards — to its winemaker, breaking with every established industry protocol. “…now that she’s released the first vintage of her own wines, it’s clear that Hirsch is a worthy successor …

Christian Moueix is the kind of man who has annual rainfall statistics memorized. “In Bordeaux, the average is 38 inches, with much less variation than Napa,” he detailed. “The past 25 years in Napa range from 8 to 63 inches.” It’s important for vintners—and not just Moueix, whose 134-acre Napa Valley property Napanook Vineyard is dry farmed—to keep track of …
