E'erbody be like: "oh, you can get really good, cheap wine for like $10."
But, then, I'll be at Trader Joe's and they're selling wine for $4.95, and I'm like, "that's my kinda price!" And I end up feeling like that $11.99 bottle is really pushing it, with its pretentiousness and overall grandiosity.
For the next few weeks, I'll be exploring Trader Joe's $5 wines. It's not just about finding a decent cheap wine. It's WAY more than that, you guys. It's an exploration into the world of grapes. It's about broadening my knowledge of what it means to be a malbec, pinot noir, or some Italian grape I've never heard of. It's about trying Merlot even though I get embarrassed about it (for no reason).
It'll be a grand sensory experiment: sniffing wine aromas, observing wine hues, tasting underlying flavors. I won't touch the wine probably, since it's like, liquid; all the wines are liquid.
