Kirkland Signature (Costco)
Costco, the largest wine retailer in the United States, releases several varietals under the negocient Kirkland Signature label including Pinot Noirs from New Zealand, Santa Barbara, Sonoma Coast and Oregon. The wines are inexpensive and quality is variable depending on the vintage and source. I have not been particularly impressed.
