Kirkland Signature Helles Style Lager

We almost didn’t notice this was a new vintage of this bottle when we saw it. Since we just reviewed the 2021 vintage at the end of July, we weren’t expecting the next vintage until summertime. We assumed these cases were remnants of the 2021 still lingering in stores. And that would be fine. This …

We love doing our Cellar Selection series, where we revisit classic Kirkland bottles from years ago that we stashed away in the cellar. We’ve been sitting on some of the old, and now retired, Kirkland Pauillac Bordeaux for 6-7 years. Last year we cracked open the 2014 Kirkland Pauillac bottle, and found it to be …

This popular Kirkland wine is arriving right on schedule. We called it landing in December. The last vintage arrived in November and then we had some January drops before that. December was splitting the difference. The Rutherford Cab is also one of our favorites every year, right alongside to the Oakville, Suscol and Stags Leap. …

This is a solid new find in the Costco wine aisle and one that we enjoyed quite a bit. This bottle is $19.99 at Costco which looks to be at least a few bucks less than other outlets, and it received 92 points from Wine Advocate. Once we got into it we found a wine …

Today, we’re going to revisit an old Kirkland classic, the Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It’s been four years since we last posted about this wine with the 2019 vintage. We enjoyed that bottle, rating it 87 points at the time. There were some rumors swirling that this wine was being discontinued …

Sneaking in a quickie here after Thanksgiving when we enjoyed this Canadian Icewine. We’ve tasted and reviewed a few of these before and they’ve always been a fun change of pace. These are definitely on the sweeter side but packed with flavor and character. Golden in the glass with nice body to it, this wine …

There have been some really nice additions to the Kirkland wine portfolio in recent years. Notably a few that come to mind: Kirkland Signature Vacqueyras Kirkland Signature Suscol Vineyard Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Kirkland Signature Sancerre Kirkland Signature Gigondas Kirkland Signature Saint-Julien Bordeaux That’s a heck of a list from …

We knew this was going to be a delicious wine and boy, did it deliver. This is the Goldeneye Pinot from Duckhorn and their Anderson Valley fruit. We’ve tasted previous vintages (not from Costco) and have always enjoyed this wine. Tasting this 2021 vintage was a nice reminder of how good this really is. Costco’s …

We are always down for trying new Burgundies when they arrive at Costco and this was a new one we ran into. Costco’s price at $22.99 is about what we found the wine selling for online, and Vivino showed an average price of $22.61. So perhaps not much of a deal here for buying at …

Many of you have been wondering the same thing we have: where is the Costco wine advent calendar for 2024? For the past three years, we found it in stores in September. There were a few rumblings online about it for 2024, but not a lot of solid information or spottings in the wild. We …

This one caught us off guard. We were expecting a run of the mill Sangiovese, but couldn’t be more impressed with what’s delivered here and for only $13.89. Morellino di Scansano is a wine region in Tuscany that’s not often talked about, but should be. These wines are predominantly (85%) Sangiovese (Morellino is the local …

This popular Kirkland Bordeaux is back. Always a good sign since we have only have seen two vintages so far. It’s nice to see Costco committed to these high quality, highly desirable wine regions with the Kirkland label. More good news, the price actually keeps coming down a little bit each year. It’s not much, …

It’s already that time of the year, and we’re sure that many of you are planning for the big meal. If you’re reading this site, we imagine wine for Thanksgiving is also on your mind. Costco is a great place to stock up. We always put together this annual list for Thanksgiving, trying to highlight …

It’s been several years since we’ve seen this Riesling from Trimbach in Costco stores. And it’s too bad because it’s a delicious find from a consistently strong producer. We’ve enjoyed countless bottles from Trimbach over the years; this Riesling of course but also their Pinot Blanc; and then if you climb up in price, their …

Here’s a new Cabernet from Paso Robles hitting Costco stores. This one slides in right alongside other popular Costco favorites from this region we’ve also reviewed and enjoyed like Justin and Daou. The price tag at Costco ($16.99) comes in a few bucks shy of the aforementioned bottles, providing a similar quality wine at a …
