Average score 88 points, target release month: April. Price dropped this year to only $6.99 (from $7.99) this remains a nice, fun summer pick, perfect for pools, beaches and hot days. Kirkland Signature Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc

Average rating of 88 points and target release month is April. This wine is always a classic at a very good price that stays consistent every year at $8.49. The price over the years has crept up from $20 to $24, average rating from us is 89 points and we expect this wine to reach stores in September. This one is always a gem, from another prominent area of Napa that produces wines I really gravitate to. Kirkland Signature Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Once you average them out, this one comes in at a respectable 90 points. We’ve rated it as high as 93 points with the 2013 vintage and as low as 88 points with the 2014 vintage.

For those interested in this wine, check out the chart below for our full breakdown of each vintage. This is another Kirkland favorite that we’ve been tasting and tracking back to the 2011 vintage. So keep an eye out in the fall/winter for it. We’ve rated it 90 points each time, and timing is tough as it’s been released as early as September and as late as December.

There have been three vintages of this Kirkland wine and it’s a delicious one at a great price, currently $14. And it is an amazing rose for the price ($8.69) our average score is 90 points and look for this one in April. This is not one of those “Costco surprises” that makes a reappearance later. This is one of the fastest selling Kirkland wines year in and year out. Kirkland Signature Cotes de Provence Rose The price is just too good at $9.99 which is relatively unheard of for Carneros juice. We’ve reviewed three vintages so far of the Carneros Pinot and it is always impressive, resulting in 89, 90 and 89 point ratings. Average score over the years is 90 points and you can expect this wine to hit in the March time frame. We love this wine and its $20 price tag is hard to beat compared to other wines from this premier region of Napa Valley.

In the past it has appeared in stores in December-January. The Kirkland Pauillac Bordeaux is top notch for only $23 and it takes the cake at the top of our ratings with scores of 91 and 92. It’s a bummer that we haven’t seen a new vintage of this amazing wine appear in stores for more than two years. Again, full chart below for all of you who want to do a deep dive. I’m only listing wines that average 88 points and above. Also note, many of the wines scored similar average ratings, so there is no particular order to the ones with the same rating. I am also not including the Kirkland Prosecco or Champagne, as those are non vintage, widely available, and pretty consistent in taste and price year to year. My chart at the end of this post contains notes on wines that were single vintages. Note: I am only including wines where we have reviewed multiple vintages. And then we’ll put them in order, based on highest rating. I’m going to look at all of our past reviews and ratings over more than ten years to determine the average score across all vintages we have tasted, calculate the average price and try to ballpark a target month when the wines seem to have appeared based on my historical data. Burns’ fingers (not sure why) sitting around pushing buttons on what’s available and whats not, rejoicing in controlling our obessions with the “Costco find.” And Costco wine falls right into this same game, especially Costco’s Kirkland wines. I always picture someone inside corporate Costco with Mr.

But wait, now it’s back, it includes 20% more than last time and you’re pumped. Next is the surprise item that one thing you found a year or so ago but it disappeared after a week so you only had one chance to buy it. How did you live so long without it? Love those. First, you have the item you’ve never seen before but it’s priced low and it’s something you instantly must have. The term can apply to a couple different types of “finds” too. One thing about shopping at Costco, which is on one hand the greatest thing ever, but simultaneously one of the most frustrating, is the idea of the “Costco find.”
