In this episode, Jeff tastes two Trader Joe’s 2012 Merlots from two different AVA’s in the Napa Valley…
Wine Tasted:
Trader Joe’s 2012 Oakville and Rutherford Grand Reserve Merlot
One Problem:
The natural cork in this wine was so dry that I could not pierce it with a cork screw. This is never a good sign. This would never happen with a screw top or synthetic cork.
Stay Rad,
Jeff
