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.
Thanks for watching. In the end, taste is subjective. My expectations for these wines weren't particularly high, but as I said, my tastes have changed over the years. I think I could find something, exponentially in some cases, better than all 3 of those for just a little more money. I did caveat my comments on the chardonnay in that I am not a fan... especially of American oaky Chards. Apologies to all my Kendell Jackson fans out there. :) As for the comparison to Trader Joe's, admittedly, I haven't had any of their white options. Perhaps for an episode down the road. Appreciate the feedback.
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

Glad you liked it! I reviewed the 2021 KS Malbec back in October. It was nice!
I drank cases of that Costco PG last year
At $60 a case, I don't blame you! XD
