From Trader Joeās comes this Syrah for just $5.99. Sometimes a $5.99 wine tastes like a $5.99 wine, and sometimes it tastes even worse than that. This is one of those times.
From the bottle:
Finally, somebody put it in a bottle. Happiness. Sure took awhile, though. Seeking happiness? What makes happiness? We winemakers pondered this one afternoon in the Cellar. Marriage? Kids?ā¦
The label goes on, but it says nothing about the wine itself. Usually I take this as a ominous sign, but after recently being surprised by the Spiral Wines Cabernet, I wanted to give it a try. So we did, and we didnāt like it much at all. Sour would be the best word to describe it. Really, it wasnāt completely terrible, but it certainly wasnāt good, and unfortunately it didnāt get any better on the second day. (Maybe we got a bad bottle?)
Weāve had good luck with these inexpensive wines from Trader Joeās so far, so we really canāt complain, and this definitely wonāt slow us down from trying others.
