McGregor South Africa “The Delicious Monster”
I picked up a bottle of the McGregor South Africa “The Delicious Monster” wine from Trader Joe’s the other day and I have to say, I’m impressed.
The wine has a deep, dark color and a rich, fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with red meat or pasta dishes.
El Castilla Syrah
I’m a big fan of Syrah wines, so I was excited when I saw the El Castilla Syrah from Trader Joe’s.
It didn’t disappoint. The wine has a fruity flavor with a hint of spice that makes it perfect for sipping on a warm evening.
Purple Moon California Merlot
I love a good Merlot and the Purple Moon California Merlot from Trader Joe’s is one of my favorites.
It has a fruity flavor, with notes of blackberry and cherry, and it’s perfect for a relaxing evening at home.
I always keep a bottle on hand for when I want something special.
L’Eclat Blanc de Blancs
I’ve always been more of a red wine drinker, but when I tasted L’Eclat Blanc de Blancs at a friend’s house, I changed my mind.
I got hooked on the bubbly buttery flavor and now pick up this brand whenever I need a sip of something to cheer me up.
La Paca Sonriente Garnacha Spanish Red Wine
I can’t believe how much I love this La Paca Sonriente Garnacha Spanish Red Wine from Trader Joe’s.
It’s such a great value, and it tastes amazing with hints of cherry and raspberry.
It’s the perfect wine for summertime, and I can’t wait to drink it on the patio with some friends.
Monique Cellars Sauvignon Blanc
I picked up a bottle of Monique Cellars Sauvignon Blanc from Trader Joe’s on a whim and I have to say, I was impressed.
The wine has a crisp, refreshing fruity taste that makes it perfect for a hot summer day.
While it’s delicious to enjoy on its own, this wine also pairs well with light appetizers.
Secco Grapefruit Pompelini
When I saw the word grapefruit on a wine label, I had to do a double take.
I didn’t think grapefruit and wine made much sense, but after tasting it I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The Secco Grapefruit Pompelini is light, refreshing, slightly sweet, and a great wine for warm weather. While I like my wine a bit drier, this is a fun option for my friends who prefer sweet wine.
The Palm by Whispering Angel
I’m not a wine expert, but I know what I like.
And I like The Palm by Whispering Angel. As a rosé, The Palm provides the perfect subdued fruity bite that’s crisp enough to enjoy during hot weather.
Bread & Butter California Chardonnay
I was looking for a good California Chardonnay to enjoy, and I found the Bread & Butter California Chardonnay from Trader Joe’s.
This Chardonnay has a great price and a delicious flavor. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good Chardonnay at a great price.
Tribunal Red Wine North Coast
If you’re looking for a new red wine to add to your collection, I highly recommend the Tribunal Red Wine North Coast.
The wine has a fruity flavor with hints of cherry and blackberry that are ideal for casual sipping and relaxing.
La Ferme Julien Rose
I was recently introduced to La Ferme Julien Rose and have since added it to my list of favorite wines.
The wine has a unique flavor that I haven’t tasted before.
It’s a bit sweet but slightly tart, and the combination is delicious.
Tertre du Moulin Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
The Tertre du Moulin Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is produced in the Bordeaux region of France, and it shows in the flavor.
The wine is full-bodied with a deep red color and complex flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earth.
