Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages 2020-Thinking About Easter Wine Pairings

I found this wine at Trader Joe's, but I think I could have got it cheaper at a wine shop.

Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 as a negiciant and today also has its own vineyards and winery.

This has a Beaujolais-Villages designation but it has grapes from all 10 Cru villages.

So this is a value-priced French wine with a little bit extra.

Lazy Bones Paso Robles Cabernet Franc 2020- A TJ's Wine Named After Me

This is a & buck Trader Joe's exclusive wine that has been available for years, it is a perennial favorite.

Cabernet Franc is a Bordeaux blending grape and not often seen as a single varietal wine, especially for value-priced wine.

This is exactly what is wonderful about this Red wine, it is a solid example of a wine that you do not always see on store shelves in this price range.

Why not give it a try?

The Originals Syrah 2019-Trader Joe's Wine Bargain Alert

There is not much new information on this Syrah wine.

Back in 2007, it was a $22 single vineyard wine.

In 2017 it was a $15 to $20 wine sourced from high-end vineyards in the Columbia Valley AVA.

Today, it is $5.99 for Trader Joe's wine, yet it tastes like an expensive Syrah.

Exquisite Collection Cotes de Provence Rosé 2020

This is a cult wine, it would wine all kinds of awards in Europe and when it was finally released in the US by Aldi back in 2018 it sold out in a matter of hours.

That was at the height of the Rosé craze and today it is available at Aldi, you do not have to rush out to get it.

It is not my favorite style of Rosé, but I can see it is a solid well-made Rosé.

While it may not be my thing, it could be yours and it only costs $9.99.

For all the info check out the review on www.CheapWineFinder.com and listen to the podcast!

Michael David Freakshow Zinfandel 2019-Freaking Good

There is an effort in California to elevate Zinfandel wines to be equal to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.

I always loved Zinfandel, I never thought they weren't equal.

But elegant, sophisticated is the new normal.

I have nothing against elegant and sophisticated, but I always loved rustic Zins.

The Michael David Freakshow Zinfandel 2019 gives the elegance with a little farmhouse rustic, to me, the best of both worlds!
