Costco is well-known for its extensive assortment of high-quality wines, with something for every wine lover. In this list, we’ll look at the ten greatest wines available at Costco, covering a wide range of varietals and price points to suit a variety of tastes.
Costco’s 10 Best Wines for Wine Enthusiasts
Here are the ten best wines available at Costco:
✱ Kirkland Signature Barolo
Barolo is undoubtedly the most exciting of the wine world’s B-named regions (along with Burgundy and Bordeaux). This Northern Italian wine is an experience in and of itself, with bracing acidity and hints of cherry and licorice. This “King of Wine” will complement any type of Italian dish (such as risotto, osso buco, or a classic ragu alla bolognese).
✱ E. Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge
The E. Guigal is another Rhône Valley favorite, created from Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre grapes. This full-bodied red is peppery and silky smooth, with aromas of chocolate and tobacco smoke. It pairs well with charcuterie.
✱ Daou Chardonnay
Think you don’t like chardonnay? Consider again. An image of the Daou Chardonnay is most likely what you’ll find in the dictionary when you look up the term “easy-drinking.” This crisp Chardonnay is ideal for pairing with a bright day, with a buttery flavor reminiscent of a lemon square.
✱ Mumm Napa Brut Prestige Sparkling Wine
This just-dry-enough sparkling wine is sure to become your new favorite repeat buy, whether you’re preparing mimosas or bursting the cork at a wedding. Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s not legally Champagne (it’s made in California, so it doesn’t qualify); it has a complexity that tastes far more expensive than its price tag.
✱ Kirkland Chablis Premier Cru
Chablis, a Chardonnay-based French wine, is what I term “liquid gold.” Chablis has a refreshing minerality and a brightness that makes it a fantastic selection for summer, as well as when a recipe calls for white wine for cooking. It has a medium body that’s perfect if you’re not normally like creamy, buttery Chardonnays.
✱ The Prisoner Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon
The Prisoner’s latest offering has a price that made me do a double take (their distinctive red mix costs $45). This lower-tannin Cab is great if you’re new to the world of big, powerful Cabernets and want to dip your toe in. It’s supremely smooth, with aromas of cherry and vanilla.
✱ Electra Moscato
Have you ever wondered what wine to drink if you’re not a “wine person”? So, welcome to your new favorite Moscato! With tropical orange and peach flavors, this lower-ABV wine is deliciously light and sweet, with a Pop Rocks-like acidity that will tingle on your tongue, making it exceedingly enjoyable to drink.
✱ Kirkland Signature Gigondas
Gigondas is a French wine made from Grenache and Syrah that should be on your radar. Gigondas is one of the 17 crus of the world-famous Rhone Valley (which also contains Châteauneuf-du-Pape), and it’s a gorgeous earthy, herbaceous red wine that’s wonderfully woodsy and ideal for enjoying on a crisp autumn night.
✱ Chateau D’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé
Is there anything nicer on a hot day than a cool glass of rosé? Let’s just say that this crowd-pleasing rosé is worth stockpiling. Whispering Angel is crisp, light, and refreshing, with a delicate peachy flavor that isn’t overbearing.
✱ Michael David Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon
While usually avoid domestic red wines, this California cab is an exception of unofficial rule. This is by far the finest pricing on this show-stopping Michael David piece. If steak is on the menu, this slightly tannic and delightfully jammy red is unbeatable.
Costco’s wine collection is a wine enthusiast’s dream, and these ten selections reflect the best in terms of quality, value, and variety. Costco has wines for every palette and occasion, from strong reds to crisp whites and sparkling pleasures.
