raspberry wine?
 
I saw a bottle of raspberry wine at Trader Joe's,
in their label; $16, 750 ml.

Should I live dangerously? Anybody have any tips?

16% alcohol, seems a bit heavy for my taste though.

I say go for it... I haven't seen it at TJ's, and in my experience
fruit wines can be excellent (Bargettos - like a tincture of fresh
fruit) or taste like someone put a spoonfull of raspberry flavoring in
a bottle of white lightning.

(But let me know how it is - I 'll look for it next time i'm in if
it's good...)

That's not the kind of thing I would like at all, regardless of the
amount of alcohol. But you should go by *your* tastes, not mine. If it
appeals to you (and it obviously does, or else you wouldn't be
asking), try it.
