Trader Joe's Cotes du Rhone
 

To the person who was investigating $6 Vidal Fleury CdR: the only $6 CdR in
one of the Seattle TJs was a Caves des Papes imported by Cannon. Here is a
relevant URL:

We will try it tonight and post our decision later.

Thanks. It's sounding more like this is only at Trader Joe's in
California, maybe just in the Bay Area.
Hope you didn't pick up any wine cooties from the Two Buck Chucks. ;-)

We don't do $3 Chuck at my house, which is what it costs in Washington.
Life is too short!

Three tasters of the CdR and we all agreed that it was a one/two note wine,
slightly better than a lower-range restaurant's house pour. Not a lot of
recognizable Southern Rhone character and a little grapey, but decent at the
price. Probably would be used as cooking wine at my house.

Oh, I should mention that when I said TJ's has it locally I meant in the
Los Angeles area in spite of my e-mail address.

Picked up that Rhone in the TJ's in San Clemente. Decidely unimpressive
for 6 bucks.

Whoa!! That TJ's is about three minutes from my home and I picked up a
couple of bottles there yesterday. Didn't realized there was another AFW
poster that close. Should've waited a day and saved $12. ;o)

Are you talking about the Fleury-Vidal or the Caves des Papes imported
by Cannon?
