    Honey Moon Viognier 2024

    Viognier is a Northern Rhone Valley (France) blending grape.

    It has a very fragrant scent and excellent natural acidity.

    It can help both Red and White wines that need a little boost.

    But when you put a chill on it, it makes a seriously good summer wine.

    Six bucks for a really good wine is awesome.

    Let this unassuming Trader Joe's White show you what cheap White wine can do.

    Cambalala Chenin Blanc 2025

    This is a South African Chenin Blanc that hits well above its price tag.

    Chenin Blanc is a versatile wine not unlike Chardonnay.

    This young Chenin Blanc is delicious.

    Aldi hit a home run with this budget-priced white wine.

    These wines sell out fast, so if you try it and like it, be quick about getting more.

  • Russian River Revisited-Kirkland Signature Russian River Pinot Noir 2024

    Kirkland Signature Russian River Pinot Noir 2024

    There have been several vintages of this wine offered by Costco, and they have differed from year to year.

    A top winemaker made this wine, and the grapes are of good quality.

    I think this is more of a food wine than a sipping wine. The alcohol is 14.5%, which may be high for this wine.

    Balance that with cheese or even tacos, and this wine will balance out.

  • Fume What? Dry Creek Vineyards Sonoma Fume Blanc 2023

    Dry Creek Vineyards Sonoma Fume Blanc 2023

    Fume Blanc goes back to the 60s and early 70s when folks didn't want sweet Sauvignon Blanc.

    Robert Mondavi did a name change, and the rest is history.

    Please check out the podcast to understand why it is called Fume Blanc and why "meaning no longer explains anything" doesn't work.

    Sauvignon Blanc has replaced Fume Blanc, but it is still fun!
