Here’s a Kirkland wine favorite we are always excited to see hit stores, the Rutherford Cabernet. This marks the third vintage we’ve tasted. Previously, this was actually a Rutherford Meritage blend, but with the 2016 vintage it became a straight Cab. We also seemed to have missed the 2017 vintage if one was produced; not …
The Napa Red Blend is back, 2019 vintage now, and there are a few changes with this new vintage that readers started pointing out to me last week. Thankfully, the price is not one of them. This wine is once again priced at $10.99, which is pretty fair for a Napa Valley red blend. Albeit, …
This is always a popular Kirkland bottle among readers, and a wine we generally have enjoyed as well. It’s arriving a little late this year at least in the stores around us. It usually comes in around spring time according to our tracking. The price has stayed consistent at $9.99 which is great news. This …
I heard from readers that the latest vintage of the Kirkland Brunello starting appearing in stores last week, and I tried twice to find it before finally running into it today. What no one mentioned is the huge news that’s apparent right away. A new label? Yes, but that’s not it. How about a price …
We started catching wind that this popular Costco Cab was hitting stores a week or so ago from readers, and I was happy to find it on my last visit. It often hits in the Sept/Oct timeframe so it arrived a little early this year for us. We’ve seen a gentle price creep on this …
It’s been a little while since we reviewed the Kirkland Alexander Cab. I’m not sure how we missed the past few vintages, but glad we could get back into it with the 2018 vintage that is in stores now. Since the 2013 vintage, the price has remained the same at $9.99, and we’ve rated the …
This new addition to the Kirkland wine family started appearing in stores a couple weeks back, and finally hit my store in the Atlanta area. It was also featured in the latest issue of the Costco Connection magazine. A Prosecco Rosé almost seems like a no brainer given the wine community’s current love for bubbly …
Here’s a Kirkland bottle we’ve been waiting to arrive, especially as the weather warms up. I know a few readers have spotted it recently, so it should be making its way through stores nationwide right now. This is likely the fastest moving Costco wine that we track. If you spot it, buy it. While I …
Next up is a Kirkland wine we always look forward to tasting. This is one of the Kirkland bottles that varies the most in our point ratings with each vintage. Many of our readers’ comments have indicated similar feelings, enjoying some vintages more than others. We’ll look at our historic point ratings for this wine …
There are quite a few solid choices for Pinot Noir at Costco right now, and this new Kirkland Carneros bottle is among the better buys in our opinion. It’s hard to find Pinot from Carneros this affordably priced, and also this good. That’s what we hope (and have come to expect) Kirkland wines to deliver …
There are quite a few new vintages of popular Kirkland wines hitting stores right now. This Chianti is always an interesting find for us that we are anxious to taste but never super excited about. Right off the bat though there’s some good news, a price drop. For as long as I can remember this …
Outside of a new varietal or region of Kirkland wines making a debut, this is one of the Kirkland bottles I look forward to the most every single year. The fact that I love Chateauneuf wines coupled with the fact that you generally cannot purchase good ones, if any at all, in this $20 price …
Finding this wine is a surprise on a number of fronts, but let’s start with the new label. What do you think? I kind of like it; definitely fresher and more exciting than the standard Kirkland wine labels. There’s no back label on this new design, just a small block of text on the side …
I was so happy to finally find this bottle last night. There’s been a lot of discussion among readers nationwide who saw this one arrive in their stores before it made it’s way here. The feedback has been extremely positive and I was curious what Costco could pack into a single vineyard Napa Cab for …
There are some interesting Kirkland bottles floating around Costco stores nationwide right now. This is definitely one that caught our attention. It’s a straight Napa Valley Cabernet, not the blend that we’ve reviewed for several vintages (or the older Napa County, not Valley), and not the appellation designated Cabs (Stags, Rutherford, Oakville). This is a …
