Poggio Lontano

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2017

Outstanding QPR for this #traderjoes #brunellodimontalcino. Earthy cherry, leather and forest floor nose; palate - nice balance and fine tannins. No need to be profound on this price point and the perfect bottle for a casual Hoboken BYOB pizzeria. 🍕 — 4 months ago

Château Roudier

Montagne-Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

This wine is a testament to the “buy the vintage” concept. Back when I couldn’t really afford cellear-able wines, I heard that 2010 was a great vintage for a Bordeaux and bought this at Trader Joe’s. I kept it cellared until now. The wind poured a deep, reddish purple in the glass. I aerated it and let it sit for nearly an hour after that. Although its nose was moderate, the flavors were fantastic. Strawberry, cranberry, other dried fruit. The tannins were intense. With a fairly decent finish. This is all I could hope for from a bottle of Bordeaux. I will probably be revisiting this winery, since it’s so easy through Trader Joe’s. The wine was a perfect accompaniment to the grass fed ribeye steaks we paired it with. Talk about a great deal for just probably $12-$13 at Trader Joe’s. #bordeauxrouge #saintemilion #redwine #traderjoes #rightbank #rightbankbordeaux — 2 years ago

Claire Patelin

Côtes de Gascogne Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Fascinating QPR #traderjoes #sauvignonblanc - lovely lifted aromatics, dried herb and grassy notes, grapefruit pith, lemongrass. More pedestrian on the palate but solid balance nonetheless, citrus oil, quick finish. — a year ago
