[/ResizeableImage]Have a wonderful day. It’s all up hill from here.
Its existed for years with no rivers of fire, earthquakes, clouds of smoke blocking the sun or soul hunting demons roaming the land. Looks like we dodged a bullet.
Not a TBC aficionado like some people here, I thought they just made cabernet and chardonnay. I had no idea that they made a white zin until Saturday when I walked into Trader Joe’s Wines on 14th Street just for curiosity on my way to meet someone and found cases of this “wine.”
I believe TBC’s first wine was actually a merlot. I actually tried it at the time and it was good for $2. Someone ITB at the time told me it was made from Napa juice that couldn’t be sold because of a grape glut. Since then they have planted like crazy and have extensive vineyards of their own in the central valley.
Incidentally, my wife actually had to work with them not too long ago and said the guy was a douche and delighted in killing coyotes. My uncle who never has anything bad to say about anyone told me he thinks Franzia is a “jerk”.
Hmmmmm…interesting how you hear that same story about some Merlot/Cab of unknown provenance that the person is sworn to keep the source of the fruit/wine confidential.
