A regular reader of the site who is good at sniffing out Costco wine values alerted us to this bottle, on sale with a limited time discount (thanks Anne). Costco’s normal price is $11.99 which is already nice since retail is around $17 and online the bottle goes for $15. Until 5/19 though, you can …

The Alexander Valley Cabernet from Kirkland seems to slip past us some years. It’s been around for ten years and while we’re not sure if they produced a vintage every single year, we’ve only tasted a handful. One thing we see is the price is the same as it has been since the 2012 vintage …
Back again, and we say thank you. This Suscol Vineyard Cabernet from the Kirkland label is a relatively new wine in the Kirkland portfolio, but one that we’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes these special wines will fizzle out after a few vintages, so it’s nice to see this one back in stock, and after tasting this …
Very nice to see this one make an appearance in Costco for its third year in a row. Long time readers know we adore this wine, going 95 points on the 2019 vintage, and another 95 points on the 2020 vintage. We are seeing a small $1 price increase, but Costco’s price still remains well …
What a surprise seeing this bottle show up at Costco. This is from Duckhorn’s WA state property at Red Mountain, and long time readers will know we love these wines. Bang for the buck they are blazing a new path forward for great juice in the US right now. We’re getting a pretty buy on …
This was quite the surprise. Not only a limited time discount, but featuring a Gran Reserva Cabernet from Chile; not something we see everyday in Costco. But we’re glad we found it, and we continue to believe that places like Chile, and Portugal; Spain too and Australia is on the up and up – all …
It’s always an exciting day when the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab hits stores, and we’ll tell you right off the bat, this is a vintage not to be missed. Despite all the inflationary pressures out there, the price on this wine remains $19.99, which is absolutely amazing for an Oakville wine, and …
This was a new find at Costco but a wine that we’ve tasted at a restaurant before, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. Long time readers will know that we are big fans of wines from Paso Robles, so we were thrilled to be able to taste this one again and get it up …
We have to go all the way back to December of 2016 to find our last review of this wine, although we’ve seen it multiple times at Costco since then and tasted it quite a few more times too. We must have overlooked how long it had been since we posted about it. And it’s a …
We were thrilled to see the 2021 vintage of this bottle hit stores. As far as we can tell, there was not a 2020 vintage, likely due to the Napa fires. So our fingers were crossed that a 2021 vintage would arrive, and here it is. Among the Kirkland wines from Napa, this ranks among …
This marks the third vintage of this Kirkland wine that we’ve tasted, and it’s been pretty good in the past. Any Napa Valley Cabernet for $15 needs to be properly explored. And we expect a lot from the Kirkland portfolio of wines, so each year we go in with decent expectations. We’ve typically been happy, …
We were really happy to see this bottle land in Costco stores this week. And instantly had to note the 2021 vintage. Turns out, we never found the 2020 vintage which should have arrived in August of last year (2022). So the last time we saw this wine was in August of 2021 with the 2019 vintage. Glad …
It’s been a couple years since we last reviewed the DAOU Cabernet for this site, but we’ve tasted several vintages since then as this is just a go-to bottle whenever you see it. Huge bang for the buck, and that was once again the case with this 2021 vintage at Costco for $20.99. That’s the …
Right on schedule (summer time) here’s the new Kirkland Columbia Valley Cabernet. We are finding this bottle right on the heels of the latest Kirkland Columbia Valley Red Blend that we thoroughly enjoyed. So you might be wondering which one to pick, and we’ll make our recommendation here in a minute. We did notice a …
A little surprised to see this one hitting stores so early. The prior 2020 vintage arrived in December of 2022. We gave it a respectable 88 points, and typically enjoy these Kirkland wines that come in from Washington state. There have been a hodge podge of different Kirkland red blends from Washington state over the …
