There’s a New Casone in Town at TJs
Fast facts: 2023 Terre Del Casone Vermentino, Toscana, Italy ($7.99 @Trader Joe’s, California) The Casone name might be a familiar one to long time readers. That’s because we love the ultra high QPR of their Super Tuscan which has been our Wine of the Week on several occassions. Thus, we took notice when we…

A Dozen Eggs, or this Delicious Bottle of Red Wine ?
Fast facts: 2020 Requiem Syrah/Merlot, Columbia Valley, Washington $6.99 (@Trader Joe’s, California) I know you are probably as tired of hearing about the price of eggs – and the politicization of same – as I am.

Fast Facts: 2019 Poggio Lontano Brunello di Montalcino, Italy ($21.99 @ Trader Joes, California) So fellow Costco wine bloggers on the east coast have been lighting up about the new 2019 Kirkland Signature Brunello di Montalcino but it has yet to land in our stores here on the West Coast. Maybe we are premature…

A Crazy High QPR Chardonnay from Napa – More Craziness Coming!
Fast Facts: 2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Chardonnay Lot #256, Yountville, Napa Valley, California ($9.99 @ Trader Joes, California) I have worked in the wine business long enough to appreciate that it, like most agricultural endeavors, is cyclical. As of this writing, the wine market is softening. Demand is down. Sounds grim? Well it is…

The “Other Pinot” from Oregon You Need to Know
Fast facts: 2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Pinot Gris Lot #258, Willamette Valley, Oregon $9.99 (@Trader Joe’s, California) Imagine you have ended up on a televised broadcast of Wheel…of…Fortune.

Love Seafood? Here is a wine you need to know.
Fast Facts: 2023 Bodegas Viña Cartín Ruta 49, Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain ($9.99 @ Trader Joe’s in California) I’ll be honest. The first thing that drew me to this wine was its uber cool label design. But once it “had me at hello” I noticed that the juice behind this label was Albariño…

It’s Sangria Season, Baby!
Fast Facts: NV Maria Jola Sangria, Petersbach, France ($6.99 @ Trader Joe’s in California) It’s deep summer. And it seems to be hades hot in every corner of the contiguous United States. So this caught my eye while prowling the Trader Joe’s in the beach town of Ventura, California. The first thing that attracted…
