Wine List

My new favorite red table wine is also from Trader Joes. It's an organic one called "Green Fin" and it's only $3.99/bottle. It's just sweet enough that I think those of you who have trouble drinking reds because they're too dry/tannin'y would still like it.

Manage a Trois and Primal Roots are both awesome and less than $7/bottle as well.

I've come to find that drinking a generic red wine as opposed to a straight up Pinot or Shiraz is easier when not directly with a meal. The dry and less sweet wines I can only have during a meal or with a cheese/crackers plate to really enjoy.

Edited to add: It's hard for me to consider White Zin a 'real' wine. I call it pink wine since it just tastes like alcoholic juice to me, and has so much sugar. But yes, Berringer is my fave and I have 2 bottles in the fridge right now.

I know nothing about the subject, but feel likewise about Zin, like a wine cooler more than a true wine. But what do I know, nothing.

white zins get a bad rap to be sure, but for a general purpose wine that will go with about any food, or to please a large number of different palates its hard to beat imo. i think the reason they get such a bad rep (other than the sweetness, which puts a lot of people off) is that when they first started getting popular all of them were cheap swill really... and im talking waaaay back in the 80s. i can remember most of my family saying that they were just awful, but even my rather picky aunt who is a merlot fiend has a few white zins she likes enough to keep in her small cooler. plus i think its probably the most common box o wine type out there, and honestly most of those arent made for their flavors and aromas, but to either get a small number of people wasted, or to give a bit of wine to a larger group.
