Five Dollar Bottle of Wine

Now, let me first say that there's nothing wrong with cheap bottles of wine. The Lost Vineyards Chenin Blanc/Sauvignon Blanc is surprisingly tasty and worth every penny (it tends to retail for $4 or less). Check it out here.

Over the weekend I had bought a few bottles of wine (our friend Bedlam was in town, and I knew we'd be drinking something tasty). One of those was the 2005 Honey Moon Viognier from Trader Joe's. Price point is about five dollars. It's a ripe, ripe mouthful of honey, apricot, citrus and tropical paradise. It lacks some subtlety, but at five dollars it's a keeper!
