Three Red Wine Values from TRADER JOE’S

For today's video, I visited Trader Joe's to find the most interesting red wines that offer good value. I picked up three wines from three different countries, all of which have the right markers to be worthwhile bottles at a reasonable price.  Let's get right into the winetasting. Nizza is a small, relatively new, Barbera-focused DOCG in Piedmont, NW Italy. Nizza has received heaps of positive press in recent years. Bersano is a reliable source that produces wine for TJ's. The 2020 Trader Joe's Platinum Nizza Riserva is made from 100% Barbera. The riserva is aged at least 12 months in barrel and 30 months in total before being released for sale. It's priced at $15.99 per bottle.  The next wine is from Spain, the 2023 Satis Dei, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, located a bit south of Madrid. It can be a good place to find value in robustly styled reds. This one is made from 55% Syrah and 45% Garnacha. It's generally available year-round, priced at $9.99.  The next wine is the 2022 Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Cairanne Cru Cotes du Rhone from the southern Rhone Valley of France. Grenache is the primary grape variety. Cairanne became a Cru only about ten years ago. It's a top source for value from the southern Rhone. It's seasonally available, priced at $12.99. Between the three, the Cairanne was the standout, followed by the Nizza, and third was the Syrah, Garnacha blend. #traderjoes #tjs #winetasting #wineenthusiasts #winelovers #italianwine #rhone #spanishwine #barbera #value #nizza #winevibes #masterofwine #bobpaulinski 00:00 - 00:16 Trader Joe's Intro 00:17 - 03:21 TJs Platinum Nizza Reserva 03:22 - 05:36 Satis Dei Red Blend 05:37 - 07:53 TJs Grand Reserve Cairanne 07:54 - 10:01 Retaste of Three Wines
