I love Kirkland branded stuff. The best thing you have to try is their Kirkland branded hard liquor particularly the vodka. Affordable and smooth! Their wine is good to me, but most wine connoisseur disagree.

Unless you have a connoisseur as guest and want to impress them, “good to you” is the more important qualifier. There’s probably a lower threshold to wine quality that you shouldn’t go under (additives that are unhealthy and such), but above that, there’s little point in buying wine that connoisseurs recommend and you dislike.

Totally agree. Kirkland wine is good because it actually tastes like real wine but is the same price as grape flavored alcohol water.

Hearsay from a winery in Cali I recently visited:

I liked the wine I was tasting and the guy pouring mentioned that Costco has purchased the entire stock of the previous year's vintage which had won some international competition.

It was Cline Cellars. Not a super luxe brand, but also not a cheesy one.

Their Merlot and Cabernet is super tasty to me! The only one I drank that gave me headache was their Malbec one.

There's a rumor that their bourbon is actually sourced from some quality stock.

I have their 7 year Bourbon and it's super tasty. I would say its pretty close to Bulliet.
