I always like hearing about Kirkland wines, thanks for the reviews. Well done.

I'm a Kirkland Signature nut!. LOL Now that I have started to get into wine, I wonder if the same level of quality crosses over to their wines like the other products they sell. I recently bought their Malbec which a lady at the store was raving about and at 8 dollars it was too cheap to not give it a try. I'll let you know how that one went but I wanted to ask you about their Sauvignon Blanc. I heard that it has a bit of a cult following but that it can be polarizing people either love it or hate it. Have you tried it? Any thoughts?

Great video, I was seeing these at Costco and wondering about them. I'll be staying away from the Vacqueyras, but the other two interest me. Thanks for the video, welcome back.

Here is an interesting note: The NY Jets are the reason I got into wine. Not gonna bore with the whole story but here I am looking looking at my KZbin feed and there you are holding a wine bottle and wearing a Jets shirt. The internet is an interesting place for sure. FYI Im a big fan of Kirkland Signature products as well.

"You're not looking to impress anybody, you're just trying to have a glass of wine and enjoy yourself." -EXACTLY my thoughts whenever I buy a bottle of wine. I just want a good, cheap bottle of wine that's nice and enjoyable, and doesn't cost me my life savings. I'll have to try that Cult Blanc. Although, I'm not sure what to think of Sauvignon Blanc's. I've only had 1 so far recently, and it didn't impress me that much. 😒 I won't give up on them, though! I do like a good Chardonnay. You made that French Beaujolais Blanc sound pretty good! What other (white) summer sippers do you like, or recommend? I like a good Riesling. A little sweet, but not too sweet. Whatever else you recommend or like, would be my suggestion for a video. Or, fall is coming. What are some good fall wines (red or white)? Another suggestion. Thanks!

There are many non-oaked chards in CA now. Plus most lower priced French chards are low to no oaked, and much better balanced than New World chards. Another good alternative are Pinot Gris from Oregon.

All wines from TJ are either sweet or have some flaw, usually a disgusting aftertaste.

My mouth is now watering right now for one of these! I'm adding these to my list of wines from Trader Joe's to try. I recently tried a Tempranillo wine from Rioja, and it was delicious. I also am in love with a good French GSM (from the Rhone valley). The last one I had was "The Tenebres" from Trader Joe's, also a very nice GSM blend. Thanks for the suggestions on these, I will be sure to try them!

Thanks for the reviews. Seems like I've got a few wines to keep an eye out for next time I'm at TJ.

Trader Joes: "Good quality wine, at a great price." Absolutely it is! I've found several wines at Trader Joe's that are pretty darn good, even ones less than $10. In fact, most of them are less than $10. (So if you want some under $10 suggestions, I can send them your way.) Are they to die for? No, probably not. They are just a good, or very good, wine to have to wind down and end your day with (for me at least). Thanks for this video! I'm always hesitant trying out the store branded wines. But after watching your videos, and some other videos, I will try them all one day. I will have to try out this Trader Joe's Pinot Noir. I'm always looking for a good red to enjoy during the summer. I typically switch to whites to drink on a hot summer day/evening, but red wines just have that nice fruity-ness to them that I really enjoy. I will definitely give this Trader Joe's a try someday! Thanks!

Thanks for the review. I like sauvignon blanc, I think the Trader Joe's Grower's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is what I'll reach for. Too much value there for me to pass up.

So-called "professionals" you mean :) As a wine reviewer with social media myself, I have always placed Josh as "pleasant".

Thank you for the review. It is helping me to know about wine in our section

Your green walls lmaaaaoooo

"Sometimes we're just looking for something that drinks well." This is what I'm almost always looking for, and Trader Joe's has delivered. I'm always looking for that good, or very good, cheap (under $10) bottle of wine, no matter what type of grape it is. I want a bottle that tastes good and is well balanced that I can just open up and enjoy at any time. Trader Joe's delivers on this. I can't believe the selection ours has with so many wines under $10. Anyway, I enjoyed this video of you comparing a big name to 2 TJ's wines. I wondered if something for $5 could stand up to something three times more. Thanks for your input on this! Very well done! Great insights on all of them. Keep it up!👍👍 P.S. May I ask what your Vivino name? Or can you include a link to follow you on your website or KZbin about section? I use the app as well to keep track of the wine I buy and drink and to see what other people's ratings are. Thanks!

Nice video, test the Target California Roots Sauv Blac with the other TJs. I like the Cal Roots better. Sauv Blanc is also my white fav

Dry, no oak, no butter, no body is what I like in a Chard. Nice video. Thanks.

I'm starting to get back into the wine drinking again, and I like a good Chardonnay. My oldest son, who just turned 21 in January, is in the phase of trying EVERYTHING alcohol related. I don't blame him, we were all 21 once and wanted to try things. My point: I bought a Chardonnay (Chateau Ste. Michelle CHardonnay 2021) and his first sip: "This tastes like butter!" I laughed. I thought he would like it, becuase it had that buttery flavor to it, but he did not. I liked it! Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of my favorite wine producers from the Columbia Valley Washington area. I love their Riesling! Side note: Since I'm getting back into wine again, I'm looking for suggestions from wine experts on the "best bang for your buck" type of wines. I came across your Trader Joe's videos at first and enjoyed them! I like when wine experts go to a store and pick some random wines, red or white ($10 or less in one video, $15 or less in another video, etc.), and then do taste tests on them. I've found a LOT of really good wine for less than $10 that way. Trader Joe's is a good place to go for it all too. Examples: Mbali (white), Floriana (white), and Oxte (red) I've all had and loved! So if you are in the mood for doing a cheap wine video, try those out! Costo also has some really good wine under $10 as well. That's all, sorry this message got quite long! Cheers!

Next time, try an American Chardonnay from a cooler climate. For example, Oregon and even Washington state.

The Wente is nice, just like you I have the same issue with Chardonnay and YES its absolutely polarizing for me. Cheers

Thanks for the reviews. I'm team red all year. I'm a fan of Kirkland Malbec. I think I need to check these out. Cheers 🥂

Thanks for the video, I really appreciate the Kirkland/Costco wine reviews. I'm a bigger fan of the Sauvignon Blanc than you. I think it's a good wine and for the price a great wine. I haven't tried the other 2, but I've heard they are "cheap" wine, meaning not great. Seems to be more or less in-line with your thoughts. I'm looking forward to your reviews of the rest of the haul. I've had a lot of good luck with Kirkland reds. I just had the Malbec Sunday and thought it was very good.

The exact reaction I have to this kind of a Cali Chardonnay

I drank cases of that Costco PG last year

I have enjoyed a few of your videos but something is either wrong with your palette recently or you overestimated these wines. None of them are memorable but all of them are “glou”, easy drinking options. If people you are with love Kendall Jackson Chard, the Kirkland Sonoma is an acceptable substitute. The Pinot Grigio is watered down but for a 90 degree event, it’s perfect. The Sauv blanc is meh. Compared to the low end choices at Trader Joe’s, these are far better wines.

Cheers mate love the video

Interesting to see age wasn't necessarily making for better wine. Thanks for sharing.

Have to apologize for some of the video quality this week (eg, the choppiness in parts and missing words). Was crunched for time and decided to use a program to "help" trim down the video. Yikes... a little too trim! What are you drinking this weekend? Are you drinking whites in the hopes of better weather ahead, or clinging to your reds? :D

And extra love for this one since you used the word penultimate and weren't talking about an Olimic event.😂😂😂😂😂. 🥂.

Thanks for posting, I love the TJ wine reviews. I'm always looking for budget Cabs, I'll skip this one. Thanks.

Have you tried Familia Zuccardi Concreto Malbec?

Subscribed. Well done!

I'm usually at a lower price point, but I love cab Sauvignon. Interesting to see these reviews. Thanks.

Very Nice Video / Review! Love these wines 🍷👍

Fun video, thanks for sharing. I love TJ value wine reviews. I think I might check out the cab. Thanks.

Just a note to tell you that I really enjoy your videos. You've taught me so much! I appreciate it, and I hope you'll keep creating wonderful content.

That was useful and informative. Thank you! I'm going to pick up a couple of these this week

So which one are you bringing to your sister's house?

TJ has some great offerings at very reasonable prices. Great video, thanks for sharing.

I did one of those fancy tastings with all the wines and still spitting them out I got tipsy! lol So looks like we have some in a different order. Your #4 is my #3. interesting.

Thank you!

Love the shirt.

Interesting, thanks for keeping the price down.

Fun idea, I just hope you like them.
