Chilean Panilonco Carmenere at about $2.99 tastes like a $15-$25 bottle of wine from Trader Joes. Varies a bit, year by year, but fairly constant.
There happens to be a bottle of that sitting on the bar right now here at the beach condo we’re in this week in FL. I love going into TJs and buying a bunch of stuff in the $5-$12 range, trying to find something that punches above its weight cost-wise.
