There are some interesting Kirkland bottles floating around Costco stores nationwide right now. This is definitely one that caught our attention. Its a straight Napa Valley Cabernet, not the blend that weve reviewed for several vintages (or the older Napa County, not Valley), and not the appellation designated Cabs (Stags, Rutherford, Oakville). This is a first sighting of this wine for us, although according the Costco placard, the wine was produced in a 2017 vintage. The $14.99 pr...

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...
