2015 was the first vintage CWF reviewed, and it is still a value option.
Back then, it was a dupe of the $40 Prisoner wine.
A rich, extracted Red blend.
Today, the Prisoner is still around, but not the force it once was.
The Moon X Red Blend 2024 is, today, mo…

This is the now-famous Trader Joe's Day of the Dead Skull wine.

Underwood Oregon Pinot Gris 2023
Ok, Ok, so Oregon Pinot Gris has nothing in common with New Orleans Voodoo culture!
Except they are both pretty cool.
This is an affordable, tasty Oregon White wine that sips great.
Gris is French for grey, and Grigio is Italian for grey, and it ref…

Trader Joe's Reserve Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2024
This is a value-priced Pinot Noir that I have enjoyed for several vintages.
