Finally got around to buying some wines at Costco that were recommended from various online sources. I already had the St Michelle and it’s a decent Cab.
White Wines
- Kirkland - Friuli - Pinot Grigio
- Italo Cescon - Pinot Grigio
Red Wines
- Chateauneuf du Pape 2022
- Chateau Ste Michelle - Cabernet Sauvignon
- Kirkland Malbec
Thoughts
I already tried the Ste Michelle and found it a nice and easy drink when I want a decent Cabernet. It’s not amazing, but for $10 it’s a good deal.
I do love Pinot Grigio as my favorite white wine and specifically the Santa Margherita. The Italo Cescon is supposed to be as good and cheaper at $11.
Finally, I’ve heard of Chateauneuf du Pape and bought it specifically as I wanted to try, and was the first bottle I opened of this haul. For $19 it’s excellent and I can see why people say it’s awesome. It’s easily matches wines in the $50-60 range.
The Malbec and Friuli were cheap and testing them as I’m seeking basic wines that are still delicious. As I want to mix it up and expand beyond my Trader Joe staples.
What I couldn’t find was the Kirkland Gigondas and it’s another GSM like the Chateauneuf.
