We knew this was going to be a delicious wine and boy, did it deliver. This is the Goldeneye Pinot from Duckhorn and their Anderson Valley fruit. We’ve tasted previous vintages (not from Costco) and have always enjoyed this wine. Tasting this 2021 vintage was a nice reminder of how good this really is. Costco’s …

We are always down for trying new Burgundies when they arrive at Costco and this was a new one we ran into. Costco’s price at $22.99 is about what we found the wine selling for online, and Vivino showed an average price of $22.61. So perhaps not much of a deal here for buying at …
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 …
Here’s a new addition to the Pinot Noir aisle, at least around the stores we frequent in the Atlanta area. And we’re really happy we found it. It’s hard to find quality Pinot Noir under $20 but this one hits the mark. We just reviewed the latest vintage of the Four Graces Pinot from Willamette …
We always enjoy tasting new vintages of wines we love and the Four Graces Pinot is one of those bottles we go back to again and again. This is just superb Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley every time we taste it, and the new 2022 vintage hitting Costco shelves did not disappoint. We have previously …
We’ve had a few readers bring this bottle to our attention, and it’s a Costco Pinot that we have yet to review for the site. We had the chance to visit Etude winery several years ago and taste many of the different Pinots they produce; enjoyed them very much so it’s nice to see this …
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 had a few readers write in to recommend this Costco Pinot Noir, and we were excited to find it on our most recent trip. The story we heard is that there is a highly drinkable and rather inexpensive Pinot that needed to be tasted and reviewed for this site. And that’s exactly what we …
We are happy to see this Pinot arriving in stores a little early this year. We typically see this in Q2, April-timeframe, and it’s been a consistent winner over the years. The price remains $12.99, which is down from the $14.99 price tag we saw on this bottle for a few vintages. And it’s always …
We love finding new wines from new producers in the Pinot section, and here is an interesting one that caught our eye. This is from Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains, southwest of Portland, near the mecca of Oregon Pinot. And we’re big fans of this area, not only because we are UO Duck alum, but the Pinot …
The Kirkland Russian River Pinot Noir is back in stores with the new 2022 vintage. This one can really vary in quality year to year in our opinion, and the last vintage (2021) was particularly good. We have the price remaining the same at $11.99 which is ridiculously low for grapes from this area, so …
We always love seeing those limited time discount signs when we’re approaching the Costco wine aisle. From a distance we could tell this one was in the Pinot section, and we planned on buying it no matter what. Turned out it happened to be a bottle we had yet to review (or so we thought) …
We were curious how this one would show. It’s a new offering in the Pinot Noir aisle, which desperately needs some new additions, at least around us. The price was certainly right at only $11.99. It’s hard to find good Pinot in that price range, and this one held up pretty well. The label carries …
The Pinot Noir in Kirkland’s wine portfolio can really be hit or miss. We’d say the Willamette Valley Pinot might be the most consistent. The Russian River is all over the place. This Carneros wine was a favorite for a while but came in a little lackluster with the last vintage. The prices do remain …
This bottle was an easy drop in the cart once we saw that huge limited time Costco discount. And the wine turned out to be pretty good too. First off we love Pinot from Sonoma Coast (Flowers is a favorite one that comes to mind). And then the massive discounted price bringing this bottle down to $11.99. …
