Trader Joe’s Wine: Goats Do Roam

Hey Everyone;

It has been a while, right?  We love KC (which is why we moved back) but life has been pretty dry without Trader Joe’s wine deals.

We are ecstatic that Trader Joes has finally opened in KC!

In honor of the Kansas City TJs we are bringing back our Wine Moments with Delaina.

As KC has been under heat warnings for far too long, what is a red wine lover to do? Well I have discover Rosé.

That is right.

I know most of you are thinking I have lost my wine drinking mind because the sweet taste of White Zinfandel has just overtaken your senses…

But really a Rosé is a perfect warm weather  red because many times the grapes used in Rosé are the same variety as my favorite reds.

Enough of my justifications let me present to you…Goats Do Roam’s Rosé 2010.

This bottle of wine was great with steak and potatoes as well as with garlic shrimp and Asian slaw. It is not often we can describe a wine as “fruity”, “complex”, and “light;” yet, that is exactly how I would describe this wine and I would add – a perfect blend of these contradictions.

In fact the bottle’s label spells out its flavors as such: “40 % Syrah for body, 31 % Grenache for fruit, 17% Gamay Noir for freashness, 12 % Mourvédre for spice – 100% Balanced Rosé”.

I agree! This South African wine is a summer hit for this red wine lover.

Cheers,
