Very nice to see this one make an appearance in Costco for its third year in a row. Long time readers know we adore this wine, going 95 points on the 2019 vintage, and another 95 points on the 2020 vintage. We are seeing a small $1 price increase, but Costco’s price still remains well …

A few weeks back we reviewed the Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel, and we mentioned how much we’d love to see the Seghesio Zin come back. And then bam, look what shows up at our Costco shortly after. Ask and you shall receive. We should have asked for a lower price while we …
What a surprise seeing this bottle show up at Costco. This is from Duckhorn’s WA state property at Red Mountain, and long time readers will know we love these wines. Bang for the buck they are blazing a new path forward for great juice in the US right now. We’re getting a pretty buy on …
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 …
It’s always an exciting day when the latest vintage of the Kirkland Oakville Cab hits stores, and we’ll tell you right off the bat, this is a vintage not to be missed. Despite all the inflationary pressures out there, the price on this wine remains $19.99, which is absolutely amazing for an Oakville wine, and …
This popular Kirkland wine usually appears in Q4, so we were a little late finding it around us, although we did hear from several readers who found it last month. But here it is, and it’s back with the same $19.99 price tag we love. You just can’t beat scoring a good Brunello at that …
This is quite the find in the Costco wine aisle, and just what we are looking for when picking wines to review for this site. Here’s a Gran Reserva Rioja with nine years of age built in, and 94 points from Wine Enthusiast for $18.99. And it was amazing. Gran Reserva is the highest designation …
It’s been a little while since we’ve posted specifically about the Kirkland Champagne, which remains one of our favorite Costco wine buys, and an insane value for real French Champagne. It’s appeared in several of our feature stories, but we wanted to revisit it with a focused review. The last time we posted was back …
This was a new find at Costco but a wine that we’ve tasted at a restaurant before, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. Long time readers will know that we are big fans of wines from Paso Robles, so we were thrilled to be able to taste this one again and get it up …
We have to go all the way back to December of 2016 to find our last review of this wine, although we’ve seen it multiple times at Costco since then and tasted it quite a few more times too. We must have overlooked how long it had been since we posted about it. And it’s a …
Here’s an exciting new addition to the Kirkland wine family, and we were pumped when readers told us this one had started to appear in their stores, and we were finally able to find it near us. This is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, which is the top of classification scale for Chianti, above Riserva. …
This was an instant drop in the cart for us. Just the kind of wine we want to see land in Costco. First off, Rosso di Montalcino is what you want to see for a ridiculous quality to price ratio, and that’s what happened here. Yes, not an inexpensive wine at $22.99, but it’s $30 …
This was a surprise and delight. The inaugural 2019 vintage of this new Kirkland offering was in stores in January of this year, so we weren’t on the lookout for the next one quite yet. But what a nice surprise, along with the price going down, albeit only a few cents, but we like it …
We were thrilled to see the 2021 vintage of this bottle hit stores. As far as we can tell, there was not a 2020 vintage, likely due to the Napa fires. So our fingers were crossed that a 2021 vintage would arrive, and here it is. Among the Kirkland wines from Napa, this ranks among …
Here’s a new Saint Emilion Grand Cru that showed up at our Costco, and it’s one that we’ve tasted and always enjoyed in the past. Usually a solid wine at a great value, and that’s exactly what we found in the 2020 vintage. Costco’s price was $35.99, which is totally fair for a wine of …
