2005 Shiraz Terra Barossa - Find it and Drink IT
This is delicious stuff, and no longer at K&L. Look for it online or at your favorite wine store. It was a deep red, long finish, and a little smoky. We had it over two days and it really held up well. Yummy Yummy!

2006 Evil Cabernet Sauvignon $8.99 | 90pts Parker
We have tried this wine and went back and bought more. Liked it much better than it’s partner in name, Bitch. If you can find it - Try Evil out!
2006 Evil (R Wines) Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia 90 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 2006 Evil Cabernet Sauvignon saw 25% of the wine aged in French oak. It reveals a fragrant bouquet of cedar and black currants. Fruit-driven, full-bodied, with tons of flavor, this Cabernet is an exceptional value. It will provide pleasure over the next 6-8 years. R Wines is a new company founded by importer and marketing genius, Dan Philips, along with co-owner, renowned winemaker, Chris Ringland.”

A great malbec rose for 9.99 at K&L Wines.com. Going fast, order today. Very rich, strong finish, and even better the second day after air.

"Best of Trader Joe’s Wine - Top 10 Wines of May 2008"
—
Is it already June! Time for another list…The ground rules; wines listed all have to have been either purchased or available during the month to which the post refers. The rankings from the previous month will be provided in parenthesis and I will provide some details on those that have fallen out of the rankings. With a new #1 this month let’s get to it. Without further adieu…
1. 2006 Geyser Peak California Sauvignon Blanc - $8 (Apr Rank: 5) – This is the best Sauvignon Blanc I have ever had including that stuff from the Kiwi’s…
2. 2005 Epicuro Aglianico - $5 (Apr Rank: 1) Off the pedestal, half itching to make a change, half getting used to it. It didn’t stop me from buying another case this month…
3. 2005 XS Red California Cabernet Sauvignon - $4 - From the Hess Family at this price hard to go wrong. Varietal characteristics included. A perfect quaffer. Just don’t buy it at Cost Plus where it cost 50% more.
4. 2003 Red Flyer California Red - $3 – Another low budget winner from Trader Joe’s. With the unique blend here thought about rating this higher than the XS based on uniqueness alone. Do yourself a favor and grab three bottles of each for a case ($60), sit back and enjoy!
5. 2005 Kono Sauvignon Blanc - $8 (Apr Rank: 7) – With the move to a warmer client look for the whites to climb the ranking. This isn’t the Geyser Peak but it is sure a nice change of pace.
6. 2006 Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Carmenere - $7 (Apr Rank: 3) – I feel guilty seeing this one all the way down here. Still loving it and sure it will climb back up soon enough.
7. 2004 Columbia Crest Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon - $6 (Apr Rank: 6) – I had the Grand Estates and still prefer this one.
8. 2005 Gravity Hills Base Camp Syrah - $5 – A winner amongst the Syrah. Most of the offerings here leave me wanting for more. This one has me buying more.
9. 2006 Michel Leon Gewurztraminer - $7 (Apr Rank: 2) – Sweet wines don’t work well with warm weather. That said this is again widely available and great with spicy food.
10. 2006 Callaway California Chardonnay - $5 (Apr Rank:9) – Still the only California Chard I have enjoyed from Trader Joe’s

"2002 Rocking Horse Zinfandel, 65% Napa Valley, 35% Sonoma Here is the second of three offerings from this winery currently featured at Trader Joe’s. This zin jumps out of the glass with a big blast of oak, peppery Zinfandel spice, and superripe, autumn blackberries. There’s more oak in the mouth, a sense of heat, and ripe, spicy, brambly blackberry curd. The combination of heat, ripe fruit and spice reminds me of a rough-hewn ruby port. This wine is a bit over the top — check that — way over the top, but it’s also a whole lot of wine for the money, so try a bottle if you like this style. Price: $7.99 Score: 150%"
