2020 Kirkland Signature Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a classic Napa bottle that we were surprised, but delighted, to find at Costco. We’ve visited this winery a couple of times and have tasted many vintages of their Petite Sirah, always enjoying them, along with most of the other wines Stags’ Leap Winery offers. Note: Stags’ Leap Winery and Stag’s Leap Wine …

Finally, we found this. Just like many of you have trouble finding the wines we review here, we also sometimes have trouble finding the ones our readers recommend. Each trip to the store, we cross our fingers hoping to find them. The new Kirkland Chateauneuf has been out for a while, and readers have reported …

For those who follow our accounts on social media, you’ve no doubt seen a few people post about this bottle making a reappearance in stores right now. This is the Kirkland Signature Suscol Napa Cabernet, single vineyard. This wine debuted last year with the dynamite 2018 vintage, and pretty much everyone I heard from, including …

Here’s a Costco wine staple that we enjoy vintage to vintage. And it’s a little behind schedule this year, arriving in June vs November 1.5 years ago, when we reviewed the 2017 vintage. But better late than never, and we have high hopes for this 2018 vintage. Great news right off the bat is the …

Here’s an interesting find, that we decided to pick up from the Pinot aisle. It seems we’ve been drinking a fair amount of Pinot Noir but haven’t reviewed a lot of Costco bottles. We thought this might be fun because it’s from the McMinnville AVA in Willamette Valley, which is just a mecca for good …

I apologize we didn’t find this one and get it out earlier. Here’s a really nice Costco price on what turned out to be a fantastic wine. The only issue is that the limited time $6 discount runs out tomorrow. Costco’s standard price of $14.99 is already pretty amazing for this bottle. A quick search …

We are always on the lookout for a nice, affordably priced Malbec and Costco’s placard card sold this one pretty good. Not only did the bottle receive a huge 95 point score from James Suckling, but it was also listed as his #6 Value Wine of the Year. So we figured this one needed proper …

Kind of a fun find here. The price is definitely right at $7.99. Online it appears to go for around $11 so there’s a good Costco discount. We also love finding straight Garnacha, not blended. It gives you a nice perspective on the varietal. The wine pours in between a pale to medium ruby and …

Here’s one of the Costco bottles we’ve been wanting to find the most (the new Kirkland Chateauneuf is a close second). This is the highly anticipated Kirkland K Vine Cabernet, the third in a trilogy of special K Vine wines Costco released under the Kirkland brand in a collaboration with famed Washington State winemaker Charles …

I bought this one for fun since it was a new offering in the Costco wine aisle.  I’ve bought a few of these cans in the past for my wife for beach vacations when I thought the form factor would come in handy (and it did) but don’t remember tasting them. I guess I was …

When we’re perusing the white wine aisle at Costco, this is precisely the kind of wine we are looking for.  Something new, different and a little off the beaten path. You’re actually starting to see Godello bottles on more restaurant wine lists which is great.  But it still remains a rather obscure Spanish white varietal …

Banfi is a super dependable name in Italian wine and their wines typically offer a good bang for the buck. We have found quite a few wines from them at Costco over the years, most recently their Chianti Classico, Centine red blend, and a couple years back even a Gavi. This is our first time …

Here’s the latest vintage of a sparkling wine we’ve enjoyed in the past. Those readers who are into these wines, probably remember the Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Cuvee that we reviewed a while back which shares many similarities with this wine: the price, the label, the varietal blend, the origin (both Limoux Brut Rosé); the ABV. We …

We picked up this bottle for a couple different reasons. First, we love Columbia Valley wines, and Washington State wines overall.  A while back we wrote a brief feature story about this, “Reflections on Washington State Wines and Why Everyone Should Be Buying Them.” So we wanted to know if this is one of those …

Bam, the new Kirkland Willamette Pinot Noir is dropping in stores right on schedule.  This is one of our favorites among the Kirkland Pinot Noirs. And there’s some big news right off the bat.  How about a price drop?  You don’t hear about many of those right now, and what a perfect bottle for this …
