01

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Daou Sauvignon Blanc

An unconventional approach to the classic Sauvignon Blanc, this $15 bottle of Daou from Paso Robles, CA, tastes as good as it looks. Trader Joe's shoppers have described it as "clean and fruit forward," with hints of pineapple, key lime, and kiwi in each sip.

02

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Notorious Pink Grenache

Channel the Barbiecore aesthetic with this passionately pink Grenache from Trader Joe's wine selection. This award-winning French wine is priced at $15 and opens with peaches, plums, lavender, and pear and finishes with a hint of spice.

03

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Moulin Jamet Sancerre

Hailing from the Loire Valley in France, this Sancerre is a light and fruity Trader Joe's wine perfect for warmer weather — or, as Mindy in "Emily in Paris" says, as a breakfast wine.

04

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Bread & Butter Pinot Noir

Bursting with berries and finishing with sweet vanilla, this Trader Joe's wine pick goes well with roasted mushrooms, duck breast, and getting cozy with a book. It definitely has winter-wine potential.

05

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Vignobles Lacheteau Muscadet

If you prefer your white wines to lean more refreshing than sweet, try this French Muscadet (which, for the record, is not the same as Moscato). This Trader Joe's wine is crisp and fresh with a honey and apricot nose, making it perfect for spring and summer.

06

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Roustabout Meritage

For an easy-sipping red wine from Trader Joe's, try the Roustabout Meritage blend from Paso Robles, CA. It's made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot and boasts fruit flavor (black cherries and blueberries) but finishes with rich, dark chocolate and espresso.

07

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Silver Peak Zinfandel

This Sonoma, CA, Zinfandel is anything but a sugar bomb, as you might expect the varietal to be (thanks, in part, to those infamous boxes of Franzia). With flavors of dark fruits and deeper notes of leather and tobacco, this Trader Joe's wine pick will surprise and delight red fans for just $8.

08

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Banshee Pinot Noir

This red blend from Sonoma County has earthy hints of dried cherry and tart raspberry and pairs very well with a full meal. It's a wonderful addition for your next big dinner party (or Thanksgiving dinner).

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Clay Shannon Pinot Noir

This bold red has strong flavors of tart cherries and sweet blackberries with aromas of cherry cola and oak. So much flavor for only $6.

10

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Bodegas Manzanos Rancho Viejo Reserva

If you think white wine is the only acceptable summer wine, this Trader Joe's red wine will change your mind. This Rioja blends vanilla, oak, and red-fruit flavors together. It's dry but pairs well with meat and cheese.

11

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Belle Glos Rosé

This $20 bottle of Rosé has bold berry flavors, specifically hints of strawberry and raspberry, with a tart acidity. It has a medium body and smooth, silky finish that pairs well with pretty much anything.

12

Best Trader Joe's Wine: Ponzi Pinot Gris

This Pinot Gris has notes of green apple and pineapple, making it a great pairing for grilled fish, chicken, and soft cheese.
