Un Joyeux Vendredi! Happy Friday!
This week’s sub $10 wine pic is a French blend from Trader Joes, where I’m convinced they have a super wine buyer who negotiates amazing deals with incredible winemakers as there are so many great wines to choose from in my price range.
I’m so not a fan of merlot, but my new BFF working in the local Trader Joes wine department assured me I would be a big fan of this wine regardless, so I went for it. Well, it made the post so, you can see he was right.
For your consideration: Revelation Cabernet/Merlot from Vin de Pays d’Oc
This wine is 55% cabernet and 45% merlot, medium to full bodied, and surprisingly rich. We enjoyed it with chicken cacciatore and polenta but I think a hearty pasta would have be excellent with it too.
$5.99 at Trader Joes.
Happy Friday!
What about you? Have any sub-$10 favorites?
from the comments, back then.
Frontera Cabernet/Merlot 2011 from Chile is a new favorite of mine. Only $5.99 here in New Jersey! I’ll be reviewing it soon over at bargainwinetime.com.
I love blends and always choose them on restaurant menus whenever I can. It is so hard to believe you can get a good bottle of wine for $5.99. Leave it to TJ’s!
OMG! I had this bottle last night and it was awesome!!! I couldn’t remember where I purchased it (I thought it was TJ’s) so when I researched it last night, I came across your page. I am going to call TJ’s today and see if I can secure a case!
I am glad I ran across your site! My whino buddy and I have game that we play. We try to best one another for the best under $10 wine find. I think I am winning with the Revelation! Anybody can purchase a good $50 bottle of wine – but it takes skill to find one under $10!
