We’ve skipped a couple vintages of this one. Not so much on purpose but rather it just seems to slide by the way side a bit. But for what it is, and at this price point, we know quite a few readers who buy it often and really enjoy it. So we’re back after a …
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 …
This $12.99 Ribera del Duero was one of our top Costco wine finds last year, and it made an appearance on our annual Best of the Year list. That was the 2017 vintage which we rated 92 points. And now the 2018 vintage is hitting Costco stores, and it is coming in at the same …
It’s always nice to find a new wine from Gerard Bertrand at Costco. We’ve had so many good reds, rose and whites from them over the years, and they just consistently deliver with each bottle. Our two most recent reviews of their wines were the Saint-Chinian An 1877, and the An 825 Cremant de Limoux …
Here’s a new one we have yet to try, and it’s an organic Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, so a little outside the standard lineup in the white aisle, which we are always on the lookout for. The price is very competitive, coming in at $11.99 at Costco, when online we see it going for around …
This was kind of an interesting new find in the Rose aisle, and we figured we give it a shot to let you know what to expect. This is Rose from Spain made from Pinot Noir; not a varietal you see all the time in Spanish Rose. Often these Spanish rose, and Spanish bubbly rose, …
Time for a little change of pace for the Wine Blog. At a friend, and fellow Costco lover’s party, we had the chance to play around with the Kirkland Golden Margarita and Kirkland Tequila Reposado. While we’re not tequila or margarita aficionados, we’d like to think we can taste a good drink when we have …
We love seeing this one arrive in stores in May. That trend started with the last vintage, and it allows us to enjoy this bottle all summer long. Previously it was hitting shelves in July. We also love seeing the price stay the same year to year at $7.99. That’s an absolute steal for a …
Here’s a new Chablis for us hitting stores right now. We always enjoy tasting through these, and especially love drinking them outside when the weather is warm. The Kirkland Chablis arrive in February this year, so likely long gone from most stores. We found this bottle to be a nice replacement, same price, same rating, …
Just a couple of months ago, we found the latest vintage of one of our favorite California wines, My Favorite Neighbor. It was back in Costco stores for the third straight vintage and we were pumped to find it, scoring it 94 points. The wine is produced by Booker vineyards and runs $47 at Costco. …
A regular reader of the site who is good at sniffing out Costco wine values alerted us to this bottle, on sale with a limited time discount (thanks Anne). Costco’s normal price is $11.99 which is already nice since retail is around $17 and online the bottle goes for $15. Until 5/19 though, you can …
The Alexander Valley Cabernet from Kirkland seems to slip past us some years. It’s been around for ten years and while we’re not sure if they produced a vintage every single year, we’ve only tasted a handful. One thing we see is the price is the same as it has been since the 2012 vintage …
Sauvignon blanc fans who haven’t explored the terroir of Pouilly-Fume are really missing out. Here’s a nice place to start that exploration for $20. We’ve tasted and reviewed a few bottles from J de Villebois, including another very good Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine and their basic Pinot Noir which was decent. We found those wines …
Back again, and we say thank you. This Suscol Vineyard Cabernet from the Kirkland label is a relatively new wine in the Kirkland portfolio, but one that we’ve always enjoyed. Sometimes these special wines will fizzle out after a few vintages, so it’s nice to see this one back in stock, and after tasting this …
One of our favorite Kirkland wines is hitting shelves earlier than ever. The last vintage appeared at the end of May which was a month earlier than the vintage before that. And we’ll take it. The Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape is always a fun one to explore, and this vintage lands among the highest rated …
