VINTJS Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013

When I think of Sauvignon Blanc, I think of New Zealand, not of Napa Valley California. I think I have to revise my thinking a whole lot! The fourth wine in the Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is the VINTJS Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. I have to admit, my expectations were not that high for this wine and that is why I opened the other 3 wines before this wine. Trader Joe's has several tiers of wine above the VINTJS label and I was not familiar with California Sauvignon Blanc. This was one of the biggest wine surprises that I have ever experienced.

We had a small wine tasting tonight and everyone loved this wine. As promised in the Fearless Flyer, it is a straw colored wine with hints of tropical fruit flavors, There is a minerality and crispness in the finish. This is a perfect summertime wine. The wine is $7.99 at Trader Joe's and it is a real winner. I will buy a lot more of this wine this summer.

Ken Wright Cellars Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2018

I was aware of the reputation of Ken Wright Cellars for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir but had never tried one of their wines. The winery is most known for single vineyard Pinot Noirs but their entry level wine is a blend from several vineyards. When I have looked for wine from Ken Wright, I have either found the single vineyard wines costing more than $60 or I have found the entry level Willamette Valley blend priced significantly higher than the $22 price on the winery website. One well known wine shop in downtown Greenville actually sells it for $34. I guess that the wine must be really good to command higher than retail prices. Two things have recently happened. Costco has a Ken Wright premium Pinot Noir for around $40 and Whole Foods Market has the entry level Willamette Valley Pinot Noir on sale for $22 rather than their usual price of $27. I chose the entry level Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and I am sure glad that I did. Ken Wright Willame...

d' Autrefois Prestige Pinot Noir France 2017

We are continuing our search for world wine regions with quality wines at value prices. One such region is Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France. This is a large wine producing region stretching along the Mediterranean Sea north of the border with Spain. One third of all wine from France originates from this area but it is not as well known in the US as other regions. Languedoc has a past history of producing low cost bulk wines, but that is changing. Because of this history, the region is less prestigious than other regions and wines can be good quality for less money. Rhone varieties as well as international varieties of grapes are grown in Languedoc. I love Pinot Noir, especially from the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The problem is that good quality Pinot Noir is expensive and I do not judge it to be a good use of my resources to spend $30 or more on an ordinary weeknight for a bottle of wine. So, I am constantly searching for qua...

Parcelica Grande 2018

It has been a little over 3 months since I last posted on this blog. I have taken that time to enjoy old favorites as well as wines bought directly from wineries. I needed a break from trying a lot of unfamiliar wines so that I might have something new to write about. However, now I am planning a live video post for the OlliLife newsletter at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman University about value wines from lesser known wine regions and this will require Wine Jane and I to do a lot of research. Well, someone has to do it! There are few places that have as much affordable quality wine as Spain. The best known wines from Spain come from areas like Rioja in the northern part of Spain. However, even greater values can be found further south in the areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea. One such area is Yecla, about 50 miles inland from the sea. In the past seven years, I have posted about four wines from Yeccl...
