A Trader Joe’s pre holiday purchase. A nice wine, a bit disjointed between structure and richness or acid and sugar. Never the less great Wine for the price.

This wine isn’t bad, but it’s just not dry enough for me. Not “sweet” in the generally accepted sense but too sweet for my palette. Good value for price though!

Very enjoyable wine to drink. The sweetness on the tongue balanced with acidity and lemon on the nose makes this reminiscent of a lemonade.

Ever so very slightly effervescent. Tastes like the syrup from canned Mandarin oranges and apricots, fermented into an off-dry wine.

Good find at Trader Joe's for around $7. Was recommended by the employee for a beginner jumping into post sweet Moscato wines. It's not too sweet, not too dry. Very drinkable.

Purchased at Trader Joe's. This is what we think of when we think of vouvray, and it's from the Loire Valley, even better. We have a soft spot for the Loire-- the midsummer rain, the wheat fields, the castles, the German tourists. Yum.
