Compare and Contrast

I am pleased to report that Trader Joe's has recyclable totes. These are not just any "green totes" but specially engineered totes that hold six bottles of wine. Awesome.

In acknowledgement of these tough economic times, I am exploring cheap wines. Today I am offering feedback in two:

El Torito
Tempranillo
2007
Spanish
-Yuck
-Busy on the pallate
-Went flat fast
-Do not recommend buying ever again

Il Valore
Sangiovese
2007
Italian
-Very tasty
-Loved the friendly back label--it suggests storage and pairings
-Would definitely buy again
