Finally! Someone who agrees with me about this wine. I still haven’t been able to find another bottle of it, but I’ll definitely re-post when I try it again. Thank you, Mark!

Sorry to sour everyone’s grapes (bad pun, I apologize), but I had to respond in order to give caution to those considering this wine after browsing Trader Joe’s bargain buys. It looks tempting, that’s how I stumbled upon it, simple label, right price (3.99 when I bought it tonight in LA), french table wine. I’m no wine snob, give me a solid $5-$10 table wine over a not-quite-there $15-$20 cab/merlot/fill-in-the-blank any day but I have to side more towards the original posting. This wine is mediocre at best for what it’s trying to be, and no I did not get a bad bottle. There is nothing notably “off” about this wine, but it’s really lacking anything right. Somewhat bitter bouquet, thin palate, and an almost nonexistent finish with little backbone. Perhaps a decent “beginners” wine as it is very light and unassuming, drinkable, yes, but there are way better 5 buck bargains out there. Personally I wish I would have spent the extra $1 and got the D’Aquino wicker basket Chianti ($4.99 at TJ’s, and about $13.99 at your local grocer).
