I tried these last night. They were pretty good. Don't let the name throw you off. They don't taste like supermarket baked beans and are not cloyingly sweet.

We're having the 2023 version of this wine today. I imagine it'll be largely the same, so probably no new review.

PixelfedWine (@wine@pixelfed.social)2022 Badet Clement Pontificis pays d'Oc
GSM Blend
Languedoc-Roussillon, France
$6.99 / 90
40% each Grenache and Syrah, with the balance being Mourvèdre.
14% ABV, decanted for forty minutes. An hour, really. Time got away from me.
Served at 65º F / 18 C in Riedel Extreme Cabernet glasses, where it’s a translucent deep ruby. Thick legs.
Cherry nose, with perhaps some raspberry and dried herbs. Dry with baking spice, red and black fruits on the palate. Clay pot, also blackberry and white pepper. Bright with medium acidity, chalky medium tannins. Medium body, bold adjacent. Herbs and leather on the long finish. Well-balanced with perhaps acidity being a bit more out front.
A definite winner at the ridiculous price of $6.99, I can see this going with a wide variety of food. Trader Joe’s does it again.

Trader Joe's; lysteria.
And their parking spaces are too small!

- Last night my daughter chatted with me at length about both the academic and social aspects of her life at high school.
- I had to go to the laundromat to wash some bedding and was dreading an hour and a half of noise from television game shows, car dealership commercials, and so on. How delighted I was when I discovered that the woman in charge today had not only switched the television off but put on Pandora Classic Soul instead!

- I bought mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe's, so everybody at home will be pleased!

If anybody reading this has connections to the leaders of the #TraderJoesUnited #union, please let them know that they lost a supporter today by sending me three emails in a row asking me to give them money.
I want to know what your theory of change is. I want to know how you are going to use my financial support to achieve your union's goals and support your members. I don't want to feel like your organization is just another #grift.
nope nope nope

Mental note: don't buy #TraderJoes #sriracha.
It's actually quite tasty, but way too timid.

2023 Laurent Dublanc Côtes du Rhône
Southern Rhone varietal bottled in Vignoles, France
$6.99 / 89
14.5% ABV, decanted for forty minutes.
This wine is covered under the Appellation d'origine protégée (AOP) classification. Intended to guarantee the reputation of regional products, the top of the French wine pyramid includes restrictive regulations meant to give consumers confidence in the product’s quality.
There were at last count eighteen grape varieties which can go into a Rhône blend, and this bottle doesn’t list which ones were used. GSM (Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre) are likely included.
Deep ruby in the glass with prominent legs/tears. Nose of cherry, blackberry and a little dried herb. On the palate, dry with blackberry, leather, gravel, baking spice and black pepper. Yum. Bold and medium bodied with medium acidity and chalky medium tannins. Baking spice on the long finish.
Overall, a well-balanced wine. While dryness may come to mind, there’s some subtle blackberry sweetness which plays against it. So again, balanced.
Had with bell peppers stuffed with rice and Impossible-brand fake sausage, Impossible-brand fake meatballs, creamy chickpea pasta with spinach and rosemary, pasta lenticchie (lentils) in a tomato-based sauce, roasted veggies and baguette. The wine’s a little sharp with the peppers and the veggies, still somewhat acidic but serviceable with the meatballs and better with both pastas.
No info on where in the Rhône the grapes were sourced. They were taken up the A7 / A6 to Vignoles for bottling.
Consider that this is a $6.99 bottle at Trader Joe’s. I mean… really. For that price, this is a great pickup. Glad that I have another bottle in the cellar.

Continued thread
i place an order (with her), pick it up and on my way back i notice an older white lady parked at a table on her phone. seated directly across from the POS.
and not a paying customer, at that. how can i tell? she's seated not only without any Starbucks products but with a sample cup from the #TraderJoes next door. is she approached? nope. not once.
gotta wonder why.

Discovered a really great coffee. Trader Joe's Ethiopian Medium Dark is rich, delicious & caffeinates AF. I've been very biased toward Kona Roasts airmail-delivered from the Hawaii Coffee Company but this is a truly scrumptious locally-available choice.

I made another Trader Joe’s box book! This one is made with Takasago Premium Bank Paper from Yamamoto Paper (another favorite for my #FountainPens ) and lies flat even though it’s a modified case bound format. #diy #handbookbinding #traderjoes #upcycle
I've been enjoying buying (a lot) less recently. But where in #NYC should I shop when I need to? #Amazon and #wholefoods are both out. #Target has cut all #DEI and #Pride. And #traderjoes is fighting against #union formation with all its might. Where should I go for #groceries and #homegoods ?
