We are happy to see this Pinot arriving in stores a little early this year. We typically see this in Q2, April-timeframe, and it’s been a consistent winner over the years. The price remains $12.99, which is down from the $14.99 price tag we saw on this bottle for a few vintages. And it’s always …

We love finding new wines from new producers in the Pinot section, and here is an interesting one that caught our eye. This is from Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains, southwest of Portland, near the mecca of Oregon Pinot. And we’re big fans of this area, not only because we are UO Duck alum, but the Pinot …
The Kirkland Russian River Pinot Noir is back in stores with the new 2022 vintage. This one can really vary in quality year to year in our opinion, and the last vintage (2021) was particularly good. We have the price remaining the same at $11.99 which is ridiculously low for grapes from this area, so …
We always love seeing those limited time discount signs when we’re approaching the Costco wine aisle. From a distance we could tell this one was in the Pinot section, and we planned on buying it no matter what. Turned out it happened to be a bottle we had yet to review (or so we thought) …
We were curious how this one would show. It’s a new offering in the Pinot Noir aisle, which desperately needs some new additions, at least around us. The price was certainly right at only $11.99. It’s hard to find good Pinot in that price range, and this one held up pretty well. The label carries …
The Pinot Noir in Kirkland’s wine portfolio can really be hit or miss. We’d say the Willamette Valley Pinot might be the most consistent. The Russian River is all over the place. This Carneros wine was a favorite for a while but came in a little lackluster with the last vintage. The prices do remain …
This bottle was an easy drop in the cart once we saw that huge limited time Costco discount. And the wine turned out to be pretty good too. First off we love Pinot from Sonoma Coast (Flowers is a favorite one that comes to mind). And then the massive discounted price bringing this bottle down to $11.99. …
This bottle exemplifies why we love the wine journey. Sometimes you just get smacked in the face with an unsuspecting bottle that captures the spirit of exploration. We didn’t remember how much this cost at the time we were drinking it. It came from the cheap seats (the aisles of wine vs wooden boxes), just …
There’s lots of good news around the newest vintage of this popular Kirkland Pinot, and it’s a bottle that we have really enjoyed since its introductory 2017 vintage. The first news is the price. It’s staying the same as the previous vintage at $12.99. Regular readers and fans of this bottle will know that it …
On every trip to Costco, we throw a quick scan across the Pinot Noir section looking for something we’ve never tasted before. And if it’s highly rated and not too expensive, it’s all the more bonus. That’s exactly what we found here. Starting with that price, Costco brings this one in under $20 at $17.79. Wine.com and K&L …
We are always interested in trying and reviewing new Costco Pinots that show up in stores, particularly those under $20, which is often a challenging world to navigate. Looking towards Oregon though is a safe bet nowadays. We think they continue to produce some of the best Pinot Noir in the US at some of …
Here’s a new Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that showed up in Costco stores near us. It’s not an inexpensive bottle, coming in at $36.99 at Costco, which is about what you will find it for at other outlets, including Total Wine who carries it for $38.99. Retail appears to be in the low $40’s. This …
One of our wine goals for 2023 is to further explore the wines of Burgundy, both red and white. So when we see a new bottle at the Costco stores near us, we’re going to buy it and review. Feel free to take this journey alongside us. This base level Bourgogne from a big name …
We picked this one up to have on hand for Thanksgiving weekend and figured there’d be a good time to open what we hoped would be a tasty Pinot Noir. A lot of these Pinots can really get good when you start to spend between $30-$45. Costco’s price was $32.99, which is pretty competitive. It’s …
There’s quite a bit of new info to share about the latest vintage of the Kirkland Russian River Pinot, and it’s all positive. First off is the new label which surprised us; seems like they’ve tried quite a few different looks to this bottle over the years. We like it, and you can see how …
