Send us a Text Message. Ugly Sweater Red Blend 2021 Edition- But My Favorite Aunt Knitted It! I am no fan of Holiday Bottle wine. It sells for only one month but lasts for years.

Send us a Text Message. Heartleaf California Rosé 2020- $6 Adult Rosé That Would Pair With Thanksgiving. A $5.99 Trader Joe's Rosé is produced in the same manner as the inexpensive European food wines. In France, Italy, etc., they drink wine that sells for a few euros with each meal. The wine is inexpensive, but the locals love their wine. A bottle of wine that costs more than a home-cooked meal is seen as silly! We think we need to spend a small fortune for a wine worthy of the meal...
