Wine Selection: Contadino Pinot Grigio from Trader Joe's

 

Chef Dolores prepared a seafood dinner and our wine selection was Contadino Pinot Grigio, 2016, an Italian white wine that we found at a Trader Joe's store in Virginia. This was a good selection and you may wish to give it a try if you shop at Trader Joe's.

Roy,

 What I find amazing is the different selections at the different Trader Joe's throughout the country at the one in CA that Ron and A go to they have one of my favorite Chablis but not in our TJ's! Looks like a great selection and a lovely meal!

There are plans to build a new Trader Joe's in Ashburn at Loudoun One, so we will probably shop there more often. Right now, the closest TJ's to us is in Reston which can be a 1 hour drive in traffic.

I go to our local Trader Joe's pretty often.  I'll look for it there.  Somehow is seems like a familiar label.  Perhaps, I have had it before.

Our Trader Joe's store in Gaithersburg does not sell wine. We have to do our wine shopping in Virginia. I think this selection was in a Richmond store.

Roy, I do miss shopping at Trader Joes. Wish we had one closer. We shop at TJs when we are in Northern Virginia.

Can't remember the last time I walked into Trader Joe's, Roy, even though  I have one no more than about 3 or 4 miles from my home and drive past it regularly. As you probably know, I don't drink wine anymore, but my husband likes pinot grigio, so I'll recommend it to him.

We don't have a Trader Joe's locally, Roy.  Maybe they carry this at Total Wine.

Roy, when I finally got home yesterday, threw a steak on the grill and had a wonderful cabernet that paired perfectly.  Have a great day.
