I’m really back!

As my post would indicate I have returned. Next on my agenda is a long list post of all the new Trader Joe’s Wines I have had during my absence with ratings. This will be followed by the Top 10 of August. Wish me luck!

Melis, I have tried four and thought these two were the best: NV Schloss Biebrich Sekt and the NV Zonin Prosecco Brut. The Prosecco is a little close to the classic champagne where as the Sekt is a tad sweeter…Both are excellent options. I’ll get that Top 10 list out soon so stay tuned for the favorites on red and whites.
