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 …
Cabernet Sauvignon
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 …
We heard about a week and a half ago that this popular Kirkland wine was hitting shelves, and we didn’t see it on a prior trip the past weekend, but found it last night. And it’s one you need to grab when you can. It can disappear in days. And with good reason, because it’s …
We were on the hunt for Costco bottles we haven’t reviewed yet, and found this Napa Cab from Charles Krug that we’re pretty sure we’ve tasted before, just haven’t posted about it. Over the years of running this site, we’ve reviewed three past vintages of the Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc (2021, 2018, 2012) but not …
We heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab was hitting stores, and we finally found it after multiple trips to Costco over the past couple of weeks. This is one of our favorite wines in the Kirkland portfolio, and it remains really hard to beat for under $20. And that’s …
Today we’re tasting a new vintage of a consistent winner, the Justin Cabernet from Paso Robles. Not only are we huge fans of wines from Paso Robles because they just seem to always overdeliver, we love this base level Justin as a go to winner under $20. They also make a delicious Bordeaux blend called …
