This is a good quality, tasty, $7.99 Sonoma County Zinfandel.

It has a dark berry flavor, spice, mocha, and chocolate.

It is an easy-to-drink wine, but not boring.

Rich and dark, with a little spice for interest.

I think this is a sipping wine, but it will pair with comfort food!

Aldi Specially Selected Douro Doc Reserva Red 2022

Douro is the region in Northern Portugal that is famous for making Port.

This Aldi wine is made for them by Van Zellar, who are the oldest family Port Producer in Portugal (1620).

This is a Field blend, which means multiple grapes are planted in each vineyard and they are harvested together. Mother Nature determines the grape blend.

The grapes are pressed by foot.

The wine is aged for 26 months in 1-year-old and 2-year-old French oak barrels.

Again, for a $9.99 Aldi wine, the details are impressive.

The bottle is wrapped in paper, and it has a gift tag.

It sips very well, and would be a good bottle to bring to BYOB.

Trader Joe's Platinum Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir 2023

Carneros is the Pinot Noir growing region of Napa.

Carneros is also famous for Chardonnay; multiple AVAs in Napa grow killer Chardonnay.

It is not typical for quality Carneros Pinot Noir to sell for $14.99.

But then again, Trader Joe's is not your typical wine merchant.

This Platinum Reserve Pinot Noir just might be the best $15 available!

This is a Pinot Noir Bubbly from Napa, probably Carneros grapes.

At $14.99, it is a reasonably priced Sparkling wine that can hold its own against Bubbly selling for much more.

It is well-made, tastes great, and is affordable. What more do you want from an excellent Sparkling wine?

Champagne prices are so out of reach that more affordable Bubbly can compete at a lesser price tag.

Pay more if you want to, but this Bubbly delivers!

This Chardonnay started as a restaurant-only wine, but its popularity caused the winery to offer it to retail wine shops.

It quickly became the #1 wine in its price point.

The reason is that it is an excellent half-California, half-Burgundian Chardonnay.

Balance with flavor.

Not that French Chardonnay does not taste good or California Chardonnay has good balance, but this is kind of the best of both worlds.

I found it on sale for $16 when the average price is above $20, but this wine is well worth the asking price!

This is a $9.99 Cabernet Sauvignon from a single vineyard in the Yakima Valley of the Columbia Valley.

The vineyard is under the control of the wine company that is responsible for this wine.

Not exactly an estate wine, but close.

It tastes like a legit West Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, not just a ten-buck Cab Sauv.

This is a wine well worth giving a try!

I don't need to beat around the bush; this Bubbly hits well above its price range.

Trader Joe's also has a Napa Valley Rosé, which is mostly Pinot Noir instead of Chardonnay, and I do like Pinot Noir Bubbly.

Until I try that Bubbly, this is the reigning KING of 2025 value Sparkling wine.

If the occasion demands a Champagne wine or if you are looking to impress, then by all means drink Champagne; it's amazing.

But if you want excellent Bubbly and also want value, the Trader Joe's Platinum Reserve Napa Valley Blanc De Blancs is your wine.
