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 …
One of our favorite wines that we tasted last year is back at Costco with the latest vintage, and we were pumped to find it. We reviewed the 2019 vintage back in July and gave it a whopping (and well deserved) 95 points. That rating also puts it towards the top of our annual Best …
We are excited to see the new Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur hitting shelves a month or so early. Usually we see this one arrive in the February timeframe. It’s also nice to see the price continue to stay at $6.99 which is really good for the quality we’ve been finding in this wine, especially the more …
We’ve seen this bottle before in Costco stores, but it being the holidays and all, we just could resist that velvety red label. And we are thrilled we tried it. This is flat out delicious Napa Cabernet at a very competitive Costco price. Wine.com is selling this bottle for $47.99, in contrast to Costco’s $34.99 …
Costco’s been playing around with some redesigns of the Kirkland wine labels over the past year, so this new one caught our eye. It’s also a Columbia Valley Red blend, not the Cabernet that we have reviewed more recently. There was a Cabernet – Merlot a while back and before that a red blend that …
We’re not always fans of bourbon barrel aged wines. They really can run the gamut from amazing to undrinkable, at least for our tastes, which skew more traditional and old world. But nonetheless, this bottle found its way into our Costco cart. And it actually turned out to be on the more enjoyable side of …
We can’t believe we ran into this wine at Costco. My Favorite Neighbor is among the darlings of the wine world right now it seems. Stories praising this wine seem to be on regular rotation on our Apple News feed. We first tried it in the 2018 vintage at a steakhouse (Flame in Springfield, MO …
Here’s another favorite from the Kirkland wine portfolio that is also one of the best values in the store, especially for fans of Washington State reds. Long time readers will know we are huge fans of Washington State wines. Bang for the buck, they are hard to beat. We were thrilled to bump into this …
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 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 …
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 …
