So, the sign at Trader Joe’s (U Street Washington DC
location) had this to say:
 |
| Nice artwork on this sign - sweet rabbit! |
Strawberry and Cherry with subtle Vanilla and Spice Notes
Hmmm – if I were to write the sign, it would say, “Heavy on
the RAISIN, light on the Strawberry”.
 |
| Raisin with a hint of strawberry... |
And really, raisin? For
wine?? I mean, it isn’t horrible, but it
isn’t really the first taste I would describe as being desirable in something I
want to drink with dinner (then again, fancy wine shops use descriptors like “cigar”
and “cedar” which I also find disgusting – who wants to drink a cigar?? But I digress…).
I picked this because there is another wine from Trader Joe’s
that we like a lot and I thought this might be similar (only, now that I compare
the two labels, I was way off, this is not similar…). Ok, I also picked it because it has a cute
rabbit on the front. And of course
because we had never tried it and this year is about trying new stuff from
Trader Joe’s and reviewing it!

| You must admit it is a nice label |
It is not bad, and it is a good price. But with so many wines at Trader Joe’s at
super reasonable prices, “not bad” doesn’t cut it for repeat purchases.
Price - $6.99
Rating - 3
