Villa Borghetti Grigio Luna Pinot Grigio 2020 - TJ's Italian Summer Cooler

$5.99 from Trader Joe's, it is a DOC wine from the Delle Venzie region of northeast Italy.

Alto Adige is the most famous and pricey Pinot Grigio region in Italy, and Delle Venzie is just south of there.

This is a summer cooler, a wine that you can serve fresh from the refrigerator.

Serving most wines too cold is not good; the cold masks the flavors and the aromas.

You will miss half of what an expensive wine has to offer if you drink it too cold.

The Villa Borghetti Grigio Luna Pinot Grigio 2020 - TJ's Italian Summer Cooler is ok with being a summer cooler.

It has enough flavor and enough lip-smacking acidity to beat the heat.

Cool this wine down and enjoy in the heat of the summer.

That is a cheapwinefinder tasting tip!

A 14.99 at Trader Joe's, a typical Diamond Mountain Cabernet, sells for between $55 and $350.

Is this a  $55 Cab selling for $14.99? Probably not.  Those wines have a price based on the reputation of the winery that made them. This is a mystery wine.

Does that mean this wine does not taste good? Nope, it is delicious.

Los Vascos Cromas Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 - Why Chile ?

This is the Domaines Barons De Rothschild (Lafite) property in the Colchagua Valley in Chile; they have been there since 1988.

One of the Legends of Bordeaux making classic wines in Chile.

This is a wine that should sell for about $20, it is a drink-it-now wine, but it has elements of age-worthy wine.

The vineyards in the Valleys of coastal Chile have all the advantages the Bordeaux vineyards don't have.

No pests, no disease, no pollution, no problems.

Vin Seven Unoaked Chardonnay 2019- A $4.99 Bang For The Buck Wine.

Is this a 7-11 wine or a Trader Joe's wine?

At $4.99, who cares.

A tasty unoaked Chardonnay with a heat-sensitive label changes the color of the angel wings when the temps hit 50 degrees.

50 degrees is too cold, but if the label does the trick, you have to see it.

This is a delicious sub-five buck wine.

Is that the whole story?

Kings Of Prohibition Cabernet Shiraz Blend - Weird Bottle Good Wine

An $8.99 from Trader Joe's, though not a TJ's wine, though this edition may well have been made for Trader Joe's

The Red Blend on the Kings of Prohibition website is different than this.

Barossa Valley is maybe the equivalent of Napa Valley in California.

They both produce costly wine.  

This is a non-vintage value-priced wine.

It is the Al Capone edition for some reason. Why? I do not know.

But no matter, this is a quality, value-priced Red wine.
