Zinfandel - Turley

We drink a fair amount of bubbly wine at our house. It just goes with anything, any meal, anybody. Long time readers know that we love the Kirkland Champagne for $19.99. Thats real French Champagne at an almost unheard of price. We were excited to see another French bubbly hit our Costco stores, this time from the Loire Valley, of which we are also big fans. The price was right at $15.99, compared to a retail price closer to $23. I always gravitate toward these French Cr...

Its been a long time, more than six years, since we last reviewed the Cambria Julias Vineyard Pinot Noir. But that was certainly not the last time weve tasted this wine as it is on my go-to list for value Pinot. Its just not always available at Costco so scoop it up when you find it. When we last reviewed the 2012 vintage that we purchased at Costco for $20, we found it to be really good value. Retail price on this wine seems to be around $24-$25. The good news on this 2...

Its nice to see this Kirkland Pinot return to store shelves in the latest 2018 vintage. This bottle is a reader and personal favorite among the Kirkland wine portfolio. There are a few important things to note that are carried over from the prior 2017 vintage. First is the price which has stayed the same at $14.99, which we think it totally fair for a wine of this caliber. Next is the winemaker, Sarah Cabot, who also made the previous vintage. Heres a story we found with a little more inf...

Heres an interesting red blend from the Jumilla region of Spain. It was $9.99 and the Costco placard displayed a nice 93 point rating from Wine Spectator. I love Spanish wine, so why not give it a shot The blend is 80% Monastrell, 15% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; retail price seems to be closer to $16 so Costco is bringing it in at a good discount. I saw it at multiple places online for $12. Also, noticed it picked up 88 points from Wine Enthusiast. The wine pours a ...

Heres a name you might know (Gerard Bertrand) but a region you might not (Tautavel). This makes for an interesting combo to explore. I first purchased this wine last year from Wine.com for $16, which was also my first experience with a wine from Tautavel, and I really enjoyed it. Youre always pretty safe in the hands of Gerard Bertrand, and seeing this bottle appear at Costco for $9.99 was a nice surprise. Tautavel is an area within the Cotes du Roussillon Villages appellation in Southern...

This one arrived a little early this year, at least for us around the Atlanta area, but Ive heard from several readers who have found it near them too. Last year I didnt see it appear until July. In our review of the 2015 vintage, we noted the $1 price jump from the 2014 vintage which was only $6.99. Luckily, this new 2016 vintage still hung in there for $7.99, which again makes this wine an incredible value buy. Lets take a quick look at our historical ratings for this wine. 2010 Kirklan...

I first heard about this discounted Napa Cabernet from a reader last week, and hoped to find it near me, which I finally did. So I wanted to get this review out so others can be on the lookout. Discount ends on April 4. Its hard to beat these prices, when Costco brings a wine in at an already discounted price, and then chops off another big chunk. In this case, I found retail pricing for this wine stretching all the way up to $50 (Wine Enthusiast), although the wine is widely available on...
