What Does Costco/ Kirkland have to Offer for Wine

    Well it has a lot to offer.  Their Zinfandel received 88 points from Wine Spectator.  Today I am writing about their Pinot Grigio.  It is their 2010 from Friuli Italy, and it is only $6.99.
    The wine is a nice light green color.  Its nose is bright lime and citrus.  It almost smells like a fresh cool summer day.  The wine has a nice warm flavor with a clean finish.  These flavors come through when the wine has been out of the fridge for a while.  When the wine is cooler it is more refreshing wine, great for a hot day.  There is a real crispness to it than.  The wine leaves a lingering citrus flavor, the finish.
    What I would like to leave you with has not as much to do with this wine, but to give the Kirkland brand a chance.  Not all of them will be amazing.  Some will be good for their price, but not great.  But there are some really great ones out there.  Give them a chance, and let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
