After far too many requests, it’s finally here: My Costco Wine Guide!
It’s nothing fancy, but it works.
Instead of spending days on a PDF guide that will be immediately outdated, I decided to write down all the wines that came to mind that I’ve loved from Costco. keep in mind, this is Costco in Canada - so the prices and products won’t always align! I know for a fact this list isn’t all inclusive, but I will add to it as I remember past bottles or try new ones.
Also - let’s build this list together!
And here’s where I think we can really make this amazing. I want YOU to participate in making this the best list out there: If you have some favourites that aren’t on the list, share them in the comments! Including where you found it (which Costco/country) and the price if you have it.
I’ll add photos and pairings and such to this list eventually, but this is a start! Make you come back to this post on my site (not just in your email) so you can see the updates :)
I hope you enjoy, and happy wine shopping!
Bubbles

A forever go-to. Amazing value, crowd-pleasing, perfect for spritzes or everyday celebrations.
Extra-dry (aka hint of sweet) with flavours of lemon, green apple, and white flowers.
Approx price: $7 USD / $10-11 CAD
Kirkland Signature Champagne Brut (Champagne, France)
A consistent favourite. Solid Champagne that’s actually affordable and delivers year after year!
Brut (dry), crisp, flavours of green apple, brioche, lemon peel, subtle almond.
Approx price: $19.99 USD / ~$28-30 CAD
Whites
Kirkland Signature Sancerre (Loire Valley, France)
French Sauvignon Blanc at its finest, but as Kirkland wines typically are - way cheaper than your average Sancerre.
Dry, high acidity, aromatic, flavours of citrus, green apple, fresh herbs, flint
Approx price: $15.99 USD / ~$22-24 CAD
Kirkland Signature Chablis Premier Cru (Burgundy, France)
Unoaked Chardonnay from Burgundy; this is a beautiful example of Chablis and amazing value!
Super dry, high acidity, light to medium body, zero oak.
Flavours of wet stone, lemon, green apple, sea salt minerality.
Approx price: $18.99 USD / ~$27 CAD
Famille Vervier Pouilly-Fuissé (Burgundy, France)
Richer Chardonnay from Burgundy with some oak influence
Dry, medium body, moderate acidity, with flavours of ripe apple, pear, toasted almond, nutmeg.

Fincalegre Rioja Blanco (Rioja, Spain)
Lush white wine with oaked Chardonnay vibes and ridiculously amazing value! I wasn’t sure what to expect with such a low price tag, but love a Rioja blanco so gave it a try. Genuinely loved it.
Dry (with hints of sweetness, but definitely not off-dry), full bodied, flavours of juicy white peach, ripe pear, citrus blossom, baking spices, cedar
Approx price: $7.00 USD / $10.00 CAD
Les Alliés Pouilly-Fumé (Loire Valley, France)
Oaked Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Super unique, fruit and flowers jump out of this one with a clear smokiness and rich mouthfeel.
Dry, super aromatic, medium-to-full bodied, flavours of ripe apple, pear, peach jam, pie crust, and a clear flinty, smoky finish
Approx price: $20.00 USD / $30.00 CAD
Kirkland Signature Sonoma Chardonnay
Oaked California Chardonnay. Classically buttery and super affordable. This is always a good buy if you’re into the buttery stuff!
Full bodied with flavours of ripe apple, cantaloupe, peach, and that butter/vanilla/baking spice/toastiness from the oak.
Approx price: $7.99 USD / $12.00 CAD
Reds
Kirkland Signature Côtes du Rhône Villages (Rhône, France)
This one consistently blows my mind (for the price). A classic Rhône blend with layers of flavour, so easy-drinking, and so inexpensive. Stock up.
Dry, medium bodied, smooth medium tannins, with flavours of black cherry, red plum, pepper, and some garrigue (dried herbs).
Approx price: $7.99 USD / $12.00 CAD
Kirkland Signature Gigondas (Rhône, France)
GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) blend from the south of France, similar to the Côtes du Rhône Villages (from a grape/terroir standpoint) but richer and more complex.
Dry, full bodied, high alcohol (14.5%) with flavours of black cherry, red plum, garrigue (dried herbs), mulch, licorice, and spice.
Approx price: $13.99 USD / $20.00 CAD
Kirkland Signature Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Rhône, France)
A richer, bolder, more intense version of the KS Gigondas and the KS Côtes du Rhône Villages

Approx price: $20.00 USD / $35.00 CAD
Kirkland Signature Rioja Reserva (Rioja, Spain)
Super affordable, smooth, comforting. This one is pretty heavily oaked, making it perfect for sipping in front of a fire! In my opinion, at least ;)
Dry, medium-to-full bodied, moderate acidity, smooth tannins, flavours of red cherry, fig, cedar, and leather.
Approx price: $6.99 USD / $10.00 CAD
One Stone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles, California)
Classic Cab Sauv that’s ridiculously easy drinking. I’ve now bought it twice and haven’t filmed with it because I keep drinking it. Oops!

Flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, burnt cedar, graphite, cocoa, and a hint of mint.
Approx price: $15.00 USD / $25.00 CAD

Approx price: $15.00 USD / $23.00 CAD
Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages
Always reliable - this one is extremely easy drinking and inexpensive, but it doesn’t lack when it comes to quality!

What would you add to this list?! Let’s make this the best Costo wine list around.




Kirkland Signature Malbec is one of my favorites. $7 in the US
Agree on the Côtes Du Rhône Villages! Wonderful affordable French wine…not always in stock so grab a few when you see it!
