The Russian River Pinot Noir from Kirkland is a bottle we look forward to tasting every year, and we’ve seen varied quality since its introduction all the way back to the 2014 vintage. An important part that is consistent is the price, once again staying at $11.99, which is just crazy for fruit from this …

[originally published 5/2020; last update 10/2024] Costco’s Kirkland branded products are synonymous with high quality at super low prices, and the wine aisle is no exception. In some cases, Kirkland wines can be the shining example of the ridiculous quality to price ratio you can find under these private branded products. We’ve been tasting and …
Look what we found. The latest vintage of the ultra popular Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages is out in stores. It’s a September arrival (barely) this time; October last vintage, and actually March before that, so hoping we see some steadiness to this timeframe. We love having these on hand all fall and winter long. …
We went into this Costco trip specifically looking to find the new Kirkland Cotes du Rhone Villages that we heard is starting to appear in stores, but came out with one of our most highly anticipated wines of the year. And it did not disappoint. Seeing this bottle arrive in September is really throwing the …
It looks like this is going to be more of an August wine arrival now compared to end of year as it had been for a while. But now two years in a row we’re getting it early. The price is staying the same as the prior vintage at $13.99 which is good since it …
One of our favorite Kirkland wines, and many readers’ favorite too, is back in stores with the new 2022 vintage. Right on time too as we reviewed the 2021 vintage August 12 of last year. The price stayed the same at $22.99, which is good since it had climbed up to $23.99, and fell back …
It’s been 30 days since we were alerted to the existence of this new wine in the Kirkland Portfolio. During that time we have driven to five different Costco stores around Atlanta (multiple times) looking for it, and finally found it last night, thanks to reader JJ for giving us a heads up that it …
This is the second year in a row that the Kirkland Barolo is arriving in the June / July timeframe. For the first few years of its existence, it hit stores in the first quarter of the year. So we would get a little nervous when it didn’t show up. Regardless, we’re happy to see …
We’ve skipped a couple vintages of this one. Not so much on purpose but rather it just seems to slide by the way side a bit. But for what it is, and at this price point, we know quite a few readers who buy it often and really enjoy it. So we’re back after a …
Hello Costco wine fans. Today we have the latest vintage of the Kirkland Carneros Pinot Noir. Historically, not a favorite of the blog among the Kirkland Pinot Noirs. We had a few vintages of this bottle we liked some time ago but lately it’s been falling a little flat. It’s too bad since the price …
We love seeing this one arrive in stores in May. That trend started with the last vintage, and it allows us to enjoy this bottle all summer long. Previously it was hitting shelves in July. We also love seeing the price stay the same year to year at $7.99. That’s an absolute steal for a …
The Alexander Valley Cabernet from Kirkland seems to slip past us some years. It’s been around for ten years and while we’re not sure if they produced a vintage every single year, we’ve only tasted a handful. One thing we see is the price is the same as it has been since the 2012 vintage …
Back again, and we say thank you. This Suscol Vineyard Cabernet from the Kirkland label is a relatively new wine in the Kirkland portfolio, but one that we’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes these special wines will fizzle out after a few vintages, so it’s nice to see this one back in stock, and after tasting this …
One of our favorite Kirkland wines is hitting shelves earlier than ever. The last vintage appeared at the end of May which was a month earlier than the vintage before that. And we’ll take it. The Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is always a fun one to explore, and this vintage lands among the highest rated …
Here’s one of our favorite Kirkland wines, making a slightly early appearance this year with the brand new 2019 vintage. We know this is a reader favorite, and it’s a consistent value buy every year. The price is staying the same year to year at $7.89; we love to see that. And look at our …
