Last weekend I went back to Los Olivos to pick up some of my favorite wines. Pretty much the same wineries I posted about here. I haven't opened any of them yet, but I'll fill you in as I do. Some great Viognier and various reds.

Trader Joe's Petit Verdot
Today I stopped at Trader Joe's to pick up a few snacks for my next road trip. I walked through the wine aisle to browse. The wine guy was just getting ready to set up for some wine tasting but my BNFC and I didn't have time to hang around. I asked him he thought was nice red for the afternoon. He suggested Trader Joe's Reserve Petit Verdot 2006 from Paso Robles. He said he loves it. I wanted something red but a little softer than Cabernet Sauvignon and he said this would fit the bill.
I uncorked it late this afternoon and so far I'm loving it. At 9.99 it's a little pricey for my brother and Jason but it's well worth the dime.

Ventana Chard
I wasn't looking for wines, I was just shopping for dinner when I saw that my Whole Foods had a tasting in progress. I tried the only white, the Ventana 2005 Chardonnay. It was quite tasty - fruity and not too acidic. So I bought a bottle and I'm enjoying it right nos.

Stealing From Jason
It's been way too long since my last post. I haven't been drinking much wine lately so don't have a lot to recommend. To make up for it here are Jason's latest top 10 Trader Joe's pics. I definitely agree with him on the Geyser Peak Sav Blanc. Yum. Of course Trader Joe's is a great place to get some really nice wines for really decent prices.
