We are sitting here in isolation and millions of people are being laid off during these challenging times.
For this week’s #WinePickWednesday selection, I thought this was a great time to share a few budget-worthy wine picks. Sometimes you just want a simple, easy, quaffable wine that doesn’t break the bank, but is versatile with your food. Also many of us are now faced with working from home and you need a quick bottle of wine that can do in a pinch. Below are three of my favorites from Trader Joe’s where you can find some of the best values.
Anybody can pick up an expensive bottle that tastes great, but how about an affordable one that over delivers?
