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 …
Sauvignon Blanc
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 …
Until now, the least expensive Sauvignon Blanc I’ve seen at Costco was the Kirkland Signature Ti Point, for $7.99, which is actually a pretty good buy for what it is. But here’s a French Sauvignon Blanc that comes in at only $5.99. With summer approaching, I was curious about this one as I love a …
This wine caught my eye because of the great price and 90 Point Wine Spectator rating. It appeared in select Costco clubs a couple of weeks ago featured at a price that is easily a few dollars less than most other retailers currently offer. This is a great time of year for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. …
So it’s a hot Atlanta day and I’m by a pool with friends who are mostly drinking Creature Comforts and other GA- based craft beers, but today, like many days, I’m sipping on white wine, and a good one at that. It is the Long Meadow Ranch Sauvignon Blanc from Rutherford. At $15.99 at my …
Every now and then Costco will get a wine for a mega-good bargain price. This one jumped out at me yesterday. I noticed first that the price was significantly less than normal retail and second that the wine has been immediately deleted (marked with an asterisk). Robert Mondavi originally coined the marketing term “Fume Blanc” …
