Don Rodolfo Mendoza Pinot Noir 2019-The Best $10 Pinot Noir?

A value-priced Pinot Noir from the Lujan de Cuyo region of Mendoza in Argentina.

The leading wine reviewer gave this ten buck Pinot 90 points.

There isn't anything about this wine that would suggest it is an excellent wine, but it is.

Sometimes winemakers just know how to make wine.

Curious Beasts Chardonnay 2019-Never had a Skeleton Label Wine I Didn't Like

I went to the local Supermarket looking for a wine with hearts on the label and love in the name and could not find a single wine.

So, I bought the wine with Day of The Dead Skeletons on the label. I never had a skull wine I did not like.

So, if this is not a Valentine's Day Wine, it is a winter Chardonnay.

It has bold, dark flavors, with balanced acidity, it drinks great!

Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir 2020-$12.99...Worth Buying?

Most 2020 vintage Carneros Pinots sell in the $20 to $40 range.

This TJ's Pinot Noir has been sourced from a steady Carneros supplier for 12 years.

There are no bad vineyards in Carneros and therefore there are no bad wines

Trader Joe's simply sells good wines for less.

The problem is that you get zero information about the origin of the wine.

But the cheap price goes a long way in quitting those concerns.

Mon Frére Chardonnay 2018-Au Contraire Mon Frère

Peppy LaPew, Bart Simpson, Bill Murray in Caddyshack?

The name comes from somewhere, but I think it actually comes from how the Chardonnay is a blend of California and Burgundian winemaking techniques.

Talk about the best of both worlds.

If you like your Chardonnay with a bit of complication, with a bit of style, but still affordable, then we got one for you!

Stormchaser Wild Ride Red 2019- Aldi's Excellent $8 Columbia Valley Red Blend

Trader Joe's wines get all the press, but Aldi's main portfolio of wines is hard to beat.

The Stormchaser Red blend has been around since the 2018 vintage, but I somehow missed it.

This is an excellent Red wine blend.

It drinks well above its eight-buck price tag.
