A Good Wine for $6.99

In honor of all the parties around town this weekend, I thought I would highlight a nice value red wine that you can feel comfortable bringing to a friend's house.  I can't take credit for sniffing this one out...I leave that to the experts at Food & Wine magazine (September 2009, "California's Top Wine for $15 or Less").  Though our wine cabinet is overstocked with souvenirs from our recent trip, I couldn't pass by this Trader Joe's F&W pick last week on my grocery trip.  And the final verdict is that I loved it!

The 2007 TBD Rouge from Trader Joe's is a Zin-dominant blend and listed in the "Ultra-Value Wines: Great Bottles for $7 & Less" section of this article.  For more wine options for under $15, check out the entire article in Food & Wine magazine at
