oh, Trader Joe's, you really know how to surprise a fella! If you haven't tried the Trader Joe's, Blue Fin, Pinot Noir, you are missing out a great tasting $4 bottle of wine. So when they added a Green Fin table wine and said it was made with organic grapes but didn't up the price I had to give it a shot. O.K., to begin with I am not a big table wine fan I fined them to be quite plain but from the opening of the bottle of Green Fin to the last drop in my glass it was very flavorful and yummy. We had it with tri-pepper chicken pasta and it really added to the overall flavor of the meal. So you can add this to your shopping cart the next time you are a T.J.'s.

La Granja Tempranillo
"La Granja means in Spanish "the farm 360" it is located in a traditional temper in the low great wine growing region in the north of Spain. The little piggy is flying because it expresses a song which the Spanish children sing when somebody has asked for something which is impossible to realize, has a dream or says something absurd. And every day drinking soft rounded juicy red wine, with rich ripe raspberry flavors. A great match to barbecue roasted pork chops, spareribs, sausages, and grilled vegetables and cheeses."
Makulu: Earthy and yummy!
With a nose of ripe dark berry fruit and a hint of fresh pepper, this classic South African Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied on the palate. Best enjoyed with barbecue, steak or roasted leg of lamb.”
What I liked about this wine is that it was unique. It had some earthy qualities (I don't mean it tastes like dirt) that seem to cause it to taste better with every sip. While I am sure that it would taste great with the recommended meats it also tastes great with chicken cacciatore.

Mondavi Field Blend or Ménage à quatre
Mondavi for $4.99. Yep, and as the kids say, "this is like...awsome." Smooth, yummy and very much like
the party field blend standard Ménage à trois. The blend is made up of Cabernet, Merlot,Petite Verdot and Syrah. Hyvee has it this week and all other CK Mondavi's for only $4.99 We enjoyed this one with Pasta and sausage. This would be a party favorite I think.
