Quantcast
Wine Bargain !!!
2 REPLIES Alert_icon Print this thread

We were shopping at Trader Joes a few weeks ago when we came upon a display of Sangiovese (2010) for $2.69 a bottle.    Being the wine snob that I am I said that, at this price, the wine could be good only for poaching a chicken or braising a tough cut of beef.  Curious, I purchased a couple of bottles.  I opened one when I got home, fully prepared to dump it and open another bottle of good wine after this "cheap stuff".   What to my surprise !!   I tasted one of the best Chiantis I have ever had.   Excellent !!    Round, soft, lots of fruit.  Yummy !!   Needless to say I broke the speed limits to get back Trader Joes to buy several cases.  I don't know how this came about.....maybe over production or grapes from outside of Chianti ????   I also don't know how this will age ...but no fear it will not last long in our house.  If you have a chance this is a REAL BARGAIN.
