We’re seeing quite a few new vintages of Kirkland wines hitting stores right now and we’re making our way through them as fast as we can to report our thoughts back to you. This one is a very welcome sight. As regular readers will remember, the Kirkland Sancerre was introduced for the first time last …
We’ve been enjoying the last string of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs we’ve bought at Costco. For a time I thought they were just too acidic and obvious, but lately I’m finding them a bit more interesting. We recently reviewed the Nautilus ($14, 88 points) and the Whitehaven (also $14, 89 points) that we found at …
This might not be the first bottle you gravitate to if you’re not familiar with it, or haven’t tasted many white Bordeaux, but white wine fans should take note. This is a fantastic wine at a great price. The retail price is around $19.99 and Costco is selling for $13.99; gotta love that. Critic scores …
Here’s a Sauvignon Blanc I’ve always been curious about. Key word on the label is “Rutherford” which fans of the Kirkland Rutherford Cabernet will be familiar with. It’s one of the top regions within Napa Valley, and a personal favorite. Provenance makes a delicious Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon that we’ve tasted and enjoyed; that one is …
It’s always exciting when there’s a new addition to the Kirkland Signature portfolio of wines, and we’ve seen a few good ones over the past 12 months. There was the new K Vine Kirkland wines (Chardonnay and Rosé) from Charles Smith, and the Kirkland Barolo that come to mind. This Sancerre is definitely on the …
I’m not sure if it’s my palate changing or whether the wines from New Zealand’s Marlborough region are just getting more elegant, but I’ve really liked the last few that we tried. The 2019 Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc we just reviewed was a treat, very clean, crisp and complex at Costco for only $13.99. This Nautilus …
This bottle will go down as one of the most interesting Sauvignon Blancs I’ve tasted in years. It comes to us from Orin Swift Cellars and from the Russian River Valley. As anyone who’s tasted Orin Swift wines can attest, they can be big and bold, unrestrained; and that’s exactly how this Sauvignon Blanc hit …
New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs are almost built for the hottest of the hot summer months. We love them poolside, on the beach, pretty much near any body of water on a sunny day. And many of these wines hover around the same price and quality, in our opinion. As we’re entering the fall months now, …
Here’s a fun find, a Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc at a great Costco price of only $12.69. I do love Sauvignon Blanc on hot summer days so figured we’d give this a shot and see how it turned out. The short answer: this is a delicious, super crisp, summer wine at a fantastic price. …
It’s officially Sauvignon Blanc season, and it’s a varietal that can really vary in style depending on where it originates in the world. Some love the grassy New Zealand SBs; others like more of the finesse of a Sancerre. Still others love them from Napa. Today we’re going to go South to explore a Chilean …
It’s been a really long time since we last reviewed the Kirkland Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc. It was actually a little over four years ago, with this review of the 2014 vintage. One thing to note from the current vintages compared to the past, is that the price actually went down to $6.99, from $7.99, …
This is a delicious Napa Sauvignon Blanc at an outstanding Costco price of only $12.99. A quick Google search shows the retail is around $18-$20 and it certainly drinks above its Costco price point. Wine Spectator went so far as to give the bottle 89 points and I’ll come in right around that same rating. …
I worked at a restaurant in New York that had an excellent Italian Sauvignon Blanc by the glass. I remember people’s reactions when they would try it, a mixture of surprise and delight, and for this reason I would often recommend it. A lot of people tend to associate Sauvignon Blanc with either grapefruit, freshly-cut …
Here’s an interesting New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that we found at our Costco for $16.99, which is more than we usually pay for wines like this, so we wanted to see what it was all about. Initially, and upon a quick glance, we thought this was the more typical Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s popular …
I love New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs on a hot day and now that things have finally turned in that direction (at least down here in the Atlanta area), it’s time to start adding a few new ones to the shopping cart. We just reviewed the Ciel Bleu d’Aquitane Sauvignon Blanc from France that’s available for …
