A few years back we found the Aresti Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva at Costco for $7.99. We noticed the high ratings and low price so couldn’t wait to get into it. Our verdict was much the same, and we rated it 88 points. Now, we have their Sauvignon Blanc that is also coming in at the …

We knew we had tried this bottle before because the label looked awfully familiar. But in searching past reviews we couldn’t find it which was odd. So we went deep into the historical pages and found it, in the 2015 vintage. The label looked the same but the producer changed from Olivier Larochette to Charles Debourges. The …
It’s been a little while since we tasted and reviewed the Napa Sauvignon Blanc from Charles Krug. The price has stayed the same at only $12.99, which combined with the quality of this juice, makes this a good value buy as we noted in our previous review. Retail price looks to be closer to $20 …
Duckhorn’s Decoy wines are usually a solid find, representing an entry into the winery at a price point well below their other bottles. Now, there’s a little sacrifice in quality as the top shelf Duckhorn wines have always impressed us. But when you’re looking for a good value buy from a known producer, the Decoy …
Nothing pairs with summer like a crisp and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, and that’s exactly what we have here. This is our first time tasting this wine so we didn’t know what to expect but it definitely met and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Only doing the research now after having already tasted and making our notes, …
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 …
