Not my preferred red style, but this sweet sparkler was quite tasty. Low 5.5% alcohol, and better as a dessert wine than the primary meal complement. — 2 days ago

It’s back at TJs after about 6 years. Besides the $6.99 price, it was hardly worth the wait. Grapefruit, apple, and tropical minerality comprise this Marlborough SB. Something was slightly off at the finish. Good but not great. — a month ago

8.5

A little disappointed with this one. Great conceptually but the execution showcases the mediocre side of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon blanc. Light straw color and a little citrus and minerality. Fairly refreshing but going back to other Josh varietals. — 2 months ago

“Imported” by a family member visiting South Africa, this was one of my first experiences with chenin blanc on its own. A little citrus and stone fruit, a touch sweeter than I desire. Will definitely try more CBs. Delectable could not identify this as chenin blanc vs sauv blanc. — 2 days ago

9.1

Terrific Syrah/Mourvèdre blend. Bits of dark berries and red fruit with light tannins and a smooth finish. Can’t tell this blend was aged in bourbon barrels but perhaps this is what gives the wine a unique taste. Yum! — 2 months ago

Biltmore Estate

Cardinal's Crest Winemakers Blend

8.9

Good blend of Cab and Merlot (why don’t more wineries break down the varietal composition of their blends?) with dark fruits, herbs and leather. Fifteen bucks at TJs for a limited time. Would buy again but not a favorite. — 3 months ago

9.0

Great RRV Pinot with cherry and dark berries mixed with a touch of floral smoke. Delicious but I much prefer Willamette PNs from OR which are generally less expensive and earthy bodied. — 2 days ago

9.2

This is the reason I love Sauv Blancs from NZ - intense tropicality focused on passion fruit, grapefruit, citrus, and pear. Great with food and on its own. Will definitely be drinking again this summer. — a month ago

Butter, oak, and a touch of vanilla comprise this TJs value Chard. Better than I expected and felt great about its price significantly under $10. — 3 months ago

Tropical and citrus acidity in this solid Albariño. Would definitely purchase again as weather warms. Great with salmon and Brussels. — 4 months ago
