And the accolades go marching on! So here’s another tip: 2004 Bogle Petite Sirah, $7.99 at Albertson’s. Rich blueberry silk tannins in a wine that’s drinkable now through the next five or so years.

I think the crafty folks at Trader Joe’s just know how to cut a deal, and they buy big. Vindu and I were speculating that Lindemans may just be trying to clear out inventory and saw a way to penetrate another slice of the American market. The 2001 Pyrus may just be a teaser prior to future Lindemans shipments to the States at more “conventional” prices. But I wouldn’t put it past Trader Joe’s to make similar deals with Lindemans or elsewhere. Thanks for your comment, JD.

I agree on this wine. Something must have gone very, very wrong in Lindemans marketing for this wine. It really seems like it was intended to sell for at least three to four times the “closeout” pricing. I have seen it recently at Trader Joe’s in California, and prior to that, at Beverages and More. It is a real bargain. I am going back tomorrow for more!

Russ ain’t kidding. This is by far the best $8 wine I ever tasted. I brought a case over to a friend’s wedding reception recently, and it was very popular. The bride’s father was especially fond of it.

If your local Trader Joe’s doesn’t have it, ask them if they can order it. That’s how I got the four cases. Enjoy!
