1. Great Deals on Good Wine at Trader Joe’s!
!
The best wines come from Italy, France, Southern
California... Or do they?!
!
Yes, many famous vineyards are in those locations,
and come from those climates. You can buy from these
locations, however, it does not mean you have to
spend top dollar on a very expensive bottle. Do you
have the underlying need to impress a date or family
member with your knowledge of wine and the
sophistication with which you select it? Don't forget that
it can be so much fun to sample the various wines you
can find from other areas whose qualities have not
been built up on word of mouth and marketing through
the grapevine. One of the best places to try a handful
of wines you might have missed is Trader Joe's.!
!
Trader Joe's, if you haven't been there recently, has
amazing prices. On both food and wine, Trader Joe's
pretty much undercuts all its competition. It has been
known affectionately as "the poor man's Whole Foods",
or should be known as the Smart Buyer's Whole
Foods. Here are a few options:!
!
Purple Moon Wine!
!
Perhaps I shouldn't tell you the prices up front. Instead
I'll go into the qualities.!
!
Purple Moon Wine comes from a likable vineyard in
California. It is a Red wine with easy drinkability and a
medium body. Not as harsh or bitter as some Reds,
Purple Moon Wine is great for those who love the taste
of Red, but would like to be able to drink it with the
ease of a White. You can find Purple Moon Wine at a
Trader Joe's wherever wines are sold. The price... now
you can have it... it only $3.99!
!
Josefina Syrah Rosé Paso Robles (2012)!
!
Josefina Syrah Rosé Paso Robles comes from San Antonio, Texas by the San Antonio Winery.
While it may not compare to the easiness of the Purple Moon Wine, San Antonio does a good
job with a Rosé. While the color does not match up in the way you would imagine with most
Rosés, the taste is particularly nice, and it is well more than a bargain at $4.99!
