We have had a nice a string of reviews of tasty Kirkland wines, and here’s another one to add the list to look for on your next Costco trip. Kirkland (value) plus Columbia Valley (quality) generally flashes a buy signal. This wine debuted last year in the 2017 vintage and it was a winner, as …

It’s nice to see this one back on Costco shelves. It was hinted at being out there in a recent Wall Street Journal article about Costco Wine (here it is, subscription required). So that sent me into my Costco on the lookout. Kirkland’s Rutherford offerings used to be just a Meritage blend, which we enjoyed …
Here’s another popular Kirkland offering hitting stores just in time to be enjoyed during the holidays. And let’s just stop for a minute to say how cool it is that Kirkland produces a Gigondas wine, and also continues to bring it in at the excellent price of $14.99. We’ve noted before that few, if any …
It’s nice walking down the aisle and catching a glimpse of those signature blue and silver rings that grace the neck of the Kirkland Ribera del Duero. This is still a young addition in the Kirkland wine family, and it can prove to be fairly elusive too, as demonstrated by the fact that we either …
Well, I finally found it. I heard from readers all over the country that the new 2019 Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages was out there, but it didn’t show up in Atlanta area stores until recently. My first question for readers who found it: did the price stay the same at $6.99? The answer thankfully …
The Kirkland Brunello is a welcome find when it hits Costco shelves, and it’s always nice to see the price stay consistent from the prior vintage at $26.99. Like the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-pape and Kirkland Barolo (both priced just a little lower), this bottle offers access to one of the top wine regions in the world …
And…we have another popular Kirkland bottle hitting store shelves in a brand vintage: the dependable, but not unbelievable, Kirkland Chianti Riserva. The Kirkland Chianti is one of those mid-pack Kirkland wines that are priced right, they’re ok for an average meal or pizza night, but they just leave a little to be desired. Similar to …
It was only about 8 months ago when we reviewed the 2018 vintage of this Kirkland wine, and we noted that we enjoyed that vintage more than in years past. We scored it 87 points. So things were trending in the right direction. And that seems to be confirmed by this new 2019 vintage, which …
The Kirkland Napa Valley Red Blend is back, and the price has stayed the same at $10.99, which is pretty hard to beat for Napa juice. The last vintage we reviewed was the 2016 about a year ago, so not sure if the ’17 snuck past us, or was skipped. The wine this year is …
Year in and year out, the Kirkland Stags Leap Cabernet is a reader favorite, and one of mine as well. The first thing to note as the new vintage hits stores is the price which has stayed the same from the 2017 vintage. It was starting to creep up a couple bucks every year, so …
It’s always nice to see the Kirkland Carneros Pinot arrive in Costco stores, and most importantly, to see the price tag continue to stay at $9.99, which is almost impossible to match for other wines from this premier region. We’ve always really enjoyed this Kirkland offering, rating the 2016 vintage 89 points, and the 2017 …
The Kirkland Rioja is always a favorite, and this year the new vintage is arriving a little late, at least around the Atlanta area. Last year, we saw it hit stores in April, so we’ve been on the look out, and finally it’s here. Costco wine fans might notice a little change this year to …
Here comes the latest version of the Kirkland Signature Russian River Chardonnay, just in time for summer. This wine has been hit or miss for us over the years, but one thing that remains consistent is the price, which is again only $12.99. For Chardonnay from this premier region of Sonoma, $13 a bottle is …
Look what’s back, the Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is finally making an appearance after a long hiatus. The last vintage of this to hit Costco stores was the 2016 and it was available almost exactly two years ago. And there are a few important things to note about this new bottle. First, is the change …
I finally found it and there was a whole corner of it still left – the Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose, which might be the fastest selling Kirkland wine of the bunch. This is going to move fast so if you see it, buy it. The reason being is that this is consistently high …
