Well, here’s why you shop at Costco, and like to buy wine there. Kirkland Signature wines are typically good values (although we’ve had a few skew the other way), but this Cotes du Rhone Villages, similar to year’s past, is once again a ridiculously good buy for only $6.99. Longtime readers will know this is …

Another new label for the Kirkland Malbec; here’s the last one; I kind of like them both. I really just wish the juice inside would improve a bit though. This is one Kirkland wine offering that I’ve never really connected with as much as I hoped. This is also one of those bottles that’s really …
I thought this current vintage of the Kirkland Stags Leap Cab was slightly better than the last one we tasted which was the ’14 vintage. Not sure what happened to the ’15 but I certainly wouldn’t have passed it up if it had made an appearance in a store near me. Looking back on these …
We reviewed the Kirkland Russian River Valley Pinot Noir a few months back and concluded that it was a good wine for the price. I recently picked up a bottle of its cousin, the 2016 Kirkland Carneros Pinot Noir, and was eager to see how it compared. Carneros is one of the sixteen sub-appellations of …
It’s been a little while since we got our hands on one of the Kirkland Columbia Valley offerings from Washington State. The last one was this 2015 Cab-Merlot blend that we thought was pretty good, and before that we had to dig into the vaults to find this Columbia Valley Bordeaux blend we really enjoyed …
It’s been quite a while since we last tasted the Kirkland Pinot Grigio. I heard from several readers that it may have been discontinued in their stores for a period of time. So it was kind of my radar and when I saw it in my Costco I decided to grab a bottle and get …
The Kirkland Alexander Valley Cabernet is typically one of my favorite Kirkland Cabs of the year, especially for the great price of $9.99 (last week we reviewed another Kirkland favorite, the Chateauneuf-du-pape that’s worth a read too in case you missed it). I was reviewing my notes on the the 2014 vintage of this Alexander Valley …
Finally, this bottle arrived at my Costco. I know several of you have found it already and posted a few things on the forums indicating potentially positive things about this year’s vintage. The Kirkland Chateauneuf is always one of the wines I look forward to reviewing most every year, and this year it came with …
Although I usually expect more from the Kirkland Russian River Valley Chardonnay offerings, I’m always excited to see them arrive in stores, and I’m anxious to try the new vintages. Having reviewed the prior vintage in December of last year, I thought this one might arrive a little later in the year. But it’s here …
Love seeing the new 2013 vintage of this one arrive at Costco and I’ve had quite a few readers write to us asking if it was around. Yes, it is, and the remarkably low price of $6.99 is carried over once again. For $6.99 there are few bottles of wine that are as drinkable as …
I enjoyed the current 2016 vintage of this Kirkland classic perhaps more than in year’s past. It is again an absolute steal to be able to grab a Pinot from Sonoma’s famed Russian River Valley for only $12.99. The price continues to be the main selling point here for a decent bottle of Pinot but …
Ok, I know it’s Monday and the next review should technically not come out until Wednesday, but we had to get this one in your hands right away based on how fast this wine sold out last year. We could only be talking about the Kirkland Cotes de Provence Rose that is hitting stores right now …
This is the first we’ve seen of the Kirkland Toscana, a Super Tuscan blend that comes in at only $13.99. Readers have been buzzing about this wine, and we’re happy to see it arrive in Costco stores near us in the Atlanta area. Quick background on Super Tuscans; Italy has strict rules for the types …
The Kirkland Chianti Classico is always a popular bottle among readers so it’s nice to see the next vintage hit Costco stores. The price has stayed the same as years past at only $8.49, which is rock bottom for a bottle from this area. Erin reviewed the prior 2013 vintage, and offers some good information …
The standard Kirkland Meritage from Napa Valley is the first of two private label Meritage wines we will see this year. In our opinion, while it is still a good buy for the $11 price tag, it is perhaps slightly the lesser of the two. The second Meritage we will see is the Kirkland Rutherford …
